another day.....another small meal.
so it goes for the young lady from pekin, illinois. another day on the journey back to health. she is still eating some small stuff but battling nausea. it could be remnants of the gall bladder or something else. she is undeterred and continues trying to eat.
with the blood numbers being good, the doctor has threatened to let us bring her some "real" food from outside of the hospital. up until now, her immune system has kept us from bringing anything that could carry some kind of microbial (something or other). i think she is waiting for some of chris philpott's waldorf salad or bob evans' roast beef. this broth and pureed sweet potato crap should be for prisoners not recovering cancer survivors.......are you with me?
she needs willy wonka creating some irresistible delights (minus the processed sugar, of course). maybe a stuffed pepper? she made us eat those disgusting things when we were kids....surely, she must like them. anything that will help her continue to eat more. who among us wouldn't like people (doctors included) to be rooting for us to "eat more"?
tick, tock.....time will tell. we just keep on keeping on and hoping that she continues to get better. the prayers continue. my father remains vigilant at her bedside.
what would you eat?
