Beef roulades. Mmm, haven't made those for ages. Was this Dinner for One, Chief? Or has your sweet bride come home?
Hope she's doing well, no matter where she is right now. You guys are in my thoughts; wishing her a full recovery.
This was dinner for three, myself and my friends with whom I've been staying for a month. DW is still in the hospital, but is standing up off of the bed, sitting in a chair for up to four hours at a stretch, some tentative walking, and doing the exercises that therapy is giving her to do. She still has one little spot in her abdomen that is draining, as per yesterday's cat scan. They have to move one drain to get that one. Her biggest issue is that she's been on antibiotics so long that her gut flora is pretty much destroyed. She's extremely nauseated every time she eats. She has been eating yogurt, and a couple of different protein/meal replacement drinks at each meal. Yesterday, she was able to eat cottage cheese with no difficulties. This will take more time, I'm afraid. They were hoping to release her to TenderCare in the Soo as early as tomorrow, but can't until that last stubborn infection pocket is taken care of.
She's in very good spirits for what she's been through. I still see improvement daily, as do her nurses and therapists. I probably should have put this in the other thread that is about her progress. I just had to answer the question by CG.
To justify in my own mind why I can stay here for the time I have, I purchase a good amount of the food, and do most of the cooking for the evening meal.
I've still got about 240 hours of vacation time, and am on FMLA leave. But I feel the need to go back to work. DW's condition will dictate when that will happen.
