Dear Pancho: (My sick, sick, sick right kidney) Let's talk!

My insurance covers 30 days. I intend on it being less than that.
I feel better this afternoon. I’ve had visitors. But they’re gone.
Thank heaven.

Sounds like me a year ago. :eek:

You’re fine, Beck! There’s nothing wrong with you. You can walk out of there any time you want.

Just blink your eyes twice if you agree.

Well…I took a walk on the wild side. I walked down the hall. Leaning pretty hard on the IV pole. I passed a glass sign thingy. I looked so horrible, scared myself. :eek:
But I was up and walking. I count it as a ‘win’

Hell yes, that’s a win. Tomorrow you’ll be even stronger.

So starting monday you have to retrain an entire staff?

It’s a huge win, Beck! Woohoo!

Jesus Christ on a cracker. I hope the food’s better at the new place.
The supper tray was disgusting. I mean really disgusting.
Not one item was remotely edible.
Ham and sweet potatoes. A corn on the cob, I swear it wasn’t even cooked. Light brown pudding:eek:

I had a sub earlier so I ate a protein bar.
Nurse Rachet fussed at me for not eating.
Too bad. I ain’t up for eating that trash.
One more meal in this place. The breakfasts havn’t been too bad.

Unfortunately, we had occasion to eat the North Little Rock Baptist hospital at 7:00 PM Sunday.
An order wasn’t placed fir dinner, but I found the cafeteria was still open. For breakfast. Sausages, eggs, shredded fried potatoes. I did manage some potatoes. Pretty grim.
I urged folks to note if they were fed the same stuff Monday morning.

Back to Brussels sprouts. Try them halved and cooked in bacon grease with bacon, onions and garlic.

I’m ready to go to the new place.
Big Wrek and DIL are here.
I’ve been up since the crack of dawn. I feel loads better this morning. I slept okay.

more updates later

ANYTHING cooked in bacon grease is better!

When I was a kid, Momma bought bacon FOR the grease! I remember a strip of bacon here and there, or the occasional BLT, but oh, bacon grease!

Rub the outside of a potato before baking…frying potatoes…cooking ANYthing in the cabbage family…eggs were invented to be cooked in bacon grease…right now, I would KILL for a piece of Momma’s chicken-fried steak, cooked in bacon grease, of course.

There was always a cup of bacon grease in the refrigerator.

I’m not a fan of green beans cooked in bacon grease myself. Ruins the fresh taste. I prefer plant oil.

That does seem unfortunate. North Little Rock might have needed a hospital. And did you evacuate the people first?

ETA: considering your user name, I suspect you didn’t evacuate the people first. Yikes!

I’m in the recuperation/rehab place.
A certain person told me I’d get here and do fine. In fact they made me a ‘promise’ that it would all work out.
Guess what? They were right.
(:))

Yay for progress in the recovery!

hugs the Beck

Great news! Thanks for the update, Beck!

Dispatch from the New place

Well, it seems I have a choice of dinner menus. A regular tray or a salad tray. I chose Regular. It’s broiled chicken tonight. We’ll see.

I’ve found out that my Surgeon’s name puts fear on the faces of the nurses and aides. Ha! I feel powerful. :smiley:

The dayroom was empty when I walked down. There’s not many inmates. I wonder if that’s a good omen?

The TV is good. I asked an aide if I could keep it on to all hours. She said that’s okay.

My PT starts in earnest tomorrow. I’m kinda scared about that.

More later. Foods a’coming!!

Are corndogs available?

StG

How does it feel to have cell service?

Yay! And enjot the non porn food.
