I'm glad Jim is getting some. Be sure you tell staff you ate part of the sandwich. Sometimes the are measuring intake and output without telling you they are doing so.Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639565805712793802.post-91812615345177822472012-02-02T08:58:56.577-07:002012-02-02T08:58:56.577-07:00Maybe under the bag there was a toe-tag, just in c...Maybe under the bag there was a toe-tag, just in case!<br /><br />So glad they are spoiling him with food.

I noticed the menu when Suzy was in the hospital, and it looked like a wonderful setup. However, her own food included warm broth, sugar free Jell-O, and a vial of vile-tasting protein! Here at home this week, she's drinking three protein shakes a day, and next week will be allowed one half a scrambled egg every day, if she can eat that much!Jerry and Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381487159402842587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639565805712793802.post-64882314502989363692012-02-02T05:02:54.634-07:002012-02-02T05:02:54.634-07:00I think his foot stinks!!! :-)

Some surgeries are done in what they call "laminar flow rooms", and the surgical team all wear laminar flow suits, which protect the patient from infection. If he has a sore, they might be blocking incoming germs, and vice versa if he has a toenail fungus, in which case they would be protecting the surgical wound from spores floating in the air. <br /><br />He has had neither of those things, maybe he needed a pedicure !

Good for Jim for walking - that seems to help with getting the systems in the body working better. When I started walking, I started feeling better. <br /><br />Glad the food is really good, if Jim has an appetite it will make each day a lot better. I think bad hospital food is a thing of the past.<br /><br />That's a long drive! You're a good wife, Sandie!! It's nice to have a partner at times like this. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639565805712793802.post-66471127075433525962012-02-01T17:02:55.014-07:002012-02-01T17:02:55.014-07:00I'm thinking it would be a challenge to not BL...I'm thinking it would be a challenge to not BLT for a month whether edible or not.
