It's hard, hard, hard when your precious one is in the hospital.<br /><br />My Goddess has been in the hospital several times for this and that. (She's feeling just fine now.) It's all turned out well. You just get used to the routine of the other person getting well and being the caregiver when required.<br /><br />When I'm eating alone, I make a dinner that will be good for the next two or three nights. Something like a broiled tri-tip with salad and a veggie, or even just a rotisserie chicken from the grocer. I'm set for dinner for a while, and it's cheaper than having to go out to Carl's Jr. for a burger every night.<br /><br />Suze and I have been going back-and-forth on health care. Our current US system is the road to the poor house if your work does not come with health insurance. Are you happy with what's available where you are?John Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734011782793779176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-27911143023263642032013-05-12T07:51:58.018-07:002013-05-12T07:51:58.018-07:00Bob, say hello to Mrs Skoot for me and tell her th...Bob, say hello to Mrs Skoot for me and tell her that if I was there, I would visit her in hospital and bring her a Durian.

Now, I'm going to give you some practical advice, being that I was a wife and mother for 20 years. . .<br />If you don't have a crockpot, buy one. Start with frozen chicken (or your favorite frozen meat) then throw in chopped, hard veges. Think onions, turnips, carrots, etc. Chop them large; no need for tiny chops here. Then throw in a jar of sauce. I buy all kinds of Indian sauces, spaghetti sauces, barbeque sauces, etc and a can of chicken broth. Just make sure the liquid comes close to covering the veges. Put the lid on, set on low, cook 6-9 hours. Dinner is served. I love this because it's easy, versatile and anyone can do it. It also makes enough food for dinner for 2 and lunch for 2, maybe twice! Make a huge pot of rice or noodles once or twice a week and serve your Pot Meal with your starch. <br />Hugs to you both! Seriously, this is easy!!! You can do it!!<br />Smooches,<br />SashSash Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030587181417666338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-35348934170543745832013-05-10T07:51:11.927-07:002013-05-10T07:51:11.927-07:00Hi Bob,

So far it seems okay just that she will need weeks of physio and exercise, but will be on pain killers for a bit.<br /><br />There is no time for a sit down meal. I can't afford to waste the time. I am getting stressed looking at the grass grow. It's now too long for the lawn mower and I don't get home from the hospital until nearly dark. If I come home first and cut the lawn, I am too tired to go to the hospital.
