Getting the lunch on. Sorta missing the hospital menu. Chicken Pot Pie, Pork chop with green beans and rice,.. Salisbury Steak and cut red potatoes....
Ah well.. Raemen until we can hit the grocery... next to nothing safe here.
I remember my days spent in a hospital well, and even the food from the cafeteria wasn't that great. Not that they actually got the patients fed like they should have been in the first place.

So, apparently people in hospitals think that starving people to death is a fine and dandy thing to do. My wife had been in ICU for 4 days, and a nurse came to me with a form to start a feeding tube......Now, you have to keep in mind that "Doctors" had cut out between 1/2 and 3/4 of her digestive tract already.
She had been going through batteries of testing in the weeks prior, which she couldn't eat for 12 hours before each of these tests. So the two prior weeks she had gotten to eat maybe 1 or 2 meals total.
So her body can't digest and absorb nutrients as it is already, and you've just cut off her food intake for almost 3 weeks.....
Who wants to take a guess as to weather her liver (which was as close to non functional as you can get, ~3% when they did a biopsy) or starvation finally did her in?
That's the only time I've completely LOST IT in a hospital.
Hospitals and food, always going to be painful memories now.

Ouch - that is not right.
My mother was a nurse, and that was the last place I saw her,.. but as a patient.
Hospitals bother me... the smell just burns my soul, and really this was no different. I was 'stable' and calm enough to deal with him being there,.. but to a degree I had to 'wall myself off' from things and only added to my stress and agitation levels.
The put him on IV fluids pretty quickly, and once past the surgery he was put on a TPN and Lipids IV... 'food'. I don't see why they could not have done that for her.... while not the same, it's the same theory. Neither could function to digest normal foods.... But hydration and nutrients are important to healing.

That's great, sounds like they kept on top of everything quite well. You should give my compliments to the entire staff.

Put the cable bridge right where the cable enters the house then just have CAT6 everywhere. More versatile.

Doing a self compiling, from scratch, non-ISO FreePBX build on CentOS 7. So far... so good I guess.

Doing our testing NodeBB 1.4 updates to see how they look.
