Would never have thought as a kid I'd some day be excited to wake up early and appraise the damage the new cheapo weed burner has inflicted from the day before.
It's very relaxing for some reason.
Also the new ICU at st. vincents is very impressive. the ones I've been to before are depressing af, but that one has a huge amount of space (and less noise) which is way less confronting for patients. ol' girl was complaining about being bored and not annoyed which is good.
Thankfully ol' girl's op went mainly well yesterday. Hopefully moving out of ICU back into the ward today or tm. Knew it was somewhat major surgery but not really ICU.
Probs going into care/rehab afterards for a bit which will piss her off. With any luck might be able to bring her in some proper soup in a week or 2.
So bit of a waiting game to see what recovery is like and go from there.
The problem is she can only eat soup, which he won't eat. Expecting her to cook 2 different things in recovery is just not reasonable. She wants to be seen that she's cooking (as weird as that sounds) but she's increasingly making poor decisions in the kitchen.
The expectation that she cooks for him has been there for decades and it's pretty much dangerous now (hot liquids / poor eyesight / weak etc.).
Made a whole bunch in the last few days so she'll be fine. Just pisses me off there hasn't been an effort by ol' boy.
Ol' girl goes in for her colectomy tm. In for a week +.
Bit worried about the recovery as she weighs bugger all. Definitely not going in in the best of shapes. I've locked horns w/ the ol' boy way too many times but the main thing is food.
Dude can't cook and that will be a problem.
How the fuck you can go through life and best you can do is a crumpet or overdone steak is beyond me. Hasn't even tried once.
I understand that generation is a bit different w/ gender roles etc. but following a recipe isn't exactly hard.
Ffs, drop the 'it's a womans job' shit mentality and learn. Seriously stuck in the 1950's.
Just learned yesterday big C. in the bowel. Looks like IV.
The last 8 months have been hell for her ever since that fall and now completely unrelated.. this. Pretty limited therapy when pushing 80yo. She'll be going in for an op but chemo/radio is out of the question. Working out the spread basically means just working out (guessing) how long.
