Hospital Turkey

My surgery is now November 19th. Spending Thanksgiving in the hospital.

Is the turkey good?  Trading my ass for turkey.

Slice...

Sorry about your Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe someone could sneak you in some "real food." How long are you expected to stay in the hospital? Holidays in the hospital are no fun. I have had 4 intestinal surgeries and 3 of them were around my birthday. I am starting to wonder if this is becoming a trend. I had my TC on June 21, my revised colectomy on June 20, and this year I was in the hosital from June 19-28....My birthday is June 23. My birthday cake has come in the form of an IV followed by a jello with a candle in the middle.

Slice,

Hospital foods always tastes pretty darn good when you haven't eaten in a week! When they brought me my first meal in 10 days my hubby looked at the plate like he was going to puke. Not me, I yummied the beef tips and green beans like it was the best meal ever! After going so long without food, anything looked good to me. It could have been crackers with peanut butter, and I would have thought it was FANSTASTIC!

UHhhh, well, sure Slice - whatever it takes! Besides, after the prep for surgery, it may be a few days before you have an appetite!

Slice,
The dinner might taste bad, but at least you know the football afterward will be good!!

So what you're saying is that i shouldn't eat anything for a week and the hospital food will look that much
better!!!

You Got It!  While your at it..deprive yourself of other worldly pleasures....bathing, eating, sleeping, and watching TV.  Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

At $2,000 per day, they'd better offer cable TV with ESPN and something better than turkey loaf for dinner on Thanksgiving!
