I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I never eat it otherwise but when I had flu or vomiting as a kid, jello or jello water always went down well. I wonder how healthy things like ginger could be added. Seems you could put it in the hot unflavored jello water just like a tea and make your own flavor.
This is in my head because I just ordered a collagen supplement because my hair is getting so very thin. Hoping it will help some joint pain, too.
If you can get him to drink anything with ginger in it, it helps the body absord fluids into the cells.
We like fresh grated ginger, raw honey and a squeeze of lemon when we are feeling dehydrated.
and take care of yourself too, Barb!
Got home at 5 AM and just woke up.
Stay positive!
Hoping and praying for a good outcome for your DH!
And you be safe and well Barb!
I'll let you know what develops. Thanks for being here, guys!
EMTs are wonderful in these situations.
There is not a lot I can do about it.
He will be 87 in Feb
Leak in humidifier found.
Water and moldy stuff to clean up.
Sigh!
LED Tiki lamps on neighbor's patio, supposed to look like flames....
And they do, look like flames, from farther away, at 5:30 a.m. flashing in the rain.
Seen from my bathroom window.
My whine - came downstairs to a chilly 17C (62F) - my downstairs furnace is broken. Thankfully the upstairs one works. Thankful also that furnace repair people work every day of the week if needed, and we are in a mild spell - minus 9 C (16F) - outside. How we take our modern conveniences for granted!
I am ever grateful that my eldest, who had just started a job at NYSE was at a back office meeting in Brooklyn that day and not at her job. And that she had the forethought to call me about 3 minutes after the second plane hit to tell me that she was not in Lower Manhattan.
One of her H.S. friends was at her first day of work at WTC. Dead at 22.
Glad to hear everyone tested negative.
We are trying to keep his/my kids tested and the grandkids able to see him.
Will move daughter and granddaughter out of temporary hotel accomodations tomorrow.
Just too much family drama this week.
Followup optho appt for my husband today. Watchful waiting as to whether what the doc is seeing is the beginnings of glaucoma.
