Things went fine at the doctor's office. It was my
gastro dr. that sent me to the hospital for the
appendectomy. SHe just wanted to make sure I was doing
ok afterwards.
My husband is the same way about dinner, but he works
for a hotel that has a 3 star chef so I told him if he
wants to be cooked for then eat there! I eat a lot of
frozen dinners myself & so does my son, he just isn't
able to cook without supervision & if I am tired it is
just easier. Makes me feel awful not to cook, but it
was one of the things I decided I had to let go off &
not do unless I am up to it.
I figure he ought to be bringing me food from the
hotel since I am so sick all the time. So I shouldn't
really feel badly about it. Isn't like he is making
sure I get to eat. Doesn't help a whole lot, but makes
me mad enough sometimes to not feel guilty! :)
Try to take care!
