They tried serving Wife cream of wheat. Hated the stuff, so when she was snoring especially loud I would offer to serve her some. Her lips clamped shut and I could sleep for a moment. Hearing seems to be the last to go, along with a hatred for boiled grain. ---

Well, she took the last of her oxy yesterday morning. She continues too improve. She’s started eating scrambled eggs, and has had a couple of English muffins. Last night she ate a reduced-fat Hebrew National hot dog on a potato bun. I also made a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. She said it needed sprinkles, so she put some on. A while later, I put a candle in the middle of it. She said, ‘You put a candle on the cake?’ I said, ‘Well, it’s my birthday…’ She said, ‘Oh, that’s right! Your birthday is coming up! It’s tomorrow!’ ‘Um,’ said I, ‘It’s today.’ A while later she lit the candle and sang me _Happy Birthday_ and she ate a piece of cake too. Tonka also liked the cake. I gave him a little of the non-frosted part. Anyway, it looks like it won’t be too long before I can start cooking meals again. 🙂 ---

Most excellent news at the end-ish of a most heinous adventure. ---

Happy Birthday **Johnny**! I’m glad Mrs. LA is doing better. ---

My hospital cuisine of choice is English muffins, green Jello, and fruit cups. When I graduated to a Hebrew National I knew my gall bladder was truly out and I could leave, though my first stop was at an Italian sub shop filled with disgusting, indigestible stuff. I survived. Happy day! ---

Just reading this. (I’ve been offline almost two weeks traveling.) Great she’s home and improving. All the best to the entire family, bipeds and quadpeds. You have your hands full. ---

Yesterday, Mrs. L.A. was ravenous. I don’t remember everything she said she ate, but it included scrambled eggs, English muffins, Jell-O (green, heh), and two slices of cake. Her belly is still a little tender, but she’s not ‘in pain’. And not being on opioids, her ‘throughput’ is back to normal. In my mind, having an appetite is a sign that she’s nearly recovered. 🙂 ---

Cool! The way nurses compute recovery: Eats wants to go Home Demanding AMA release is still frowned on… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mrs-l-a-is-in-the-hospital/787980.md?page=5)
