Went home today. The ride home was rough and left me hurting pretty badly. Thank goodness for hydrocodone. It's the only time I've taken any pain meds, but it helped a lot. I' m planning to go to Berkeley on Saturday to see my daughter perform so I'm happy to know that's an option if I need it.
Today I had some baby food carrots, scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast. The sausage really wasn't the best choice but I didn't have a lot of options. That hospital is the WORST for food! The first tray they brought me had absolutely NOTHING on it that I could eat. I didn't give them my entire diet list, but I did tell them gluten, soy, and dairy free. The biggies. I would have told them sugar free as well but figured then they would give me stuff with artificial sweeteners which is even worse. So what did they bring me? Cream of wheat, french toast, yogurt, milk, coffee, and sweet tea. Really? So when the orderly saw I didn't eat anything, he brought me another tray with the scrambled eggs and sausage.
Then for lunch, they brought me some kind of meat patty drenched in gravy (not gluten free gravy, I'm sure), stuffing, a roll, and some zucchini and squash. Unfortunately the veggies were sitting in a puddle of gravy so I could only eat part of them. There was also a side salad, but I couldn't eat the dressing, so I had some zucchini and squash and iceberg lettuce. I also ate a couple bites of the jello again.
On the way home, I had Mike run through El Pollo Loco and get a chicken breast. I peeled the skin off to avoid most of the seasonings and the grease. So I had a chicken breast and some blueberries for dinner. Luckily I have some chicken soup in the freezer to get me through tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.
