Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 She doesn't digest soy well, I give her rice rpotien powder, it's non-dairy too. Oh she hates cottage cheese and pudding so it will be a meal she will refuse. Good thing the nurses look out for her.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I am so with your mother re cottage cheese and pudding. YUK! Now the Brit type pudding that is more a cake YUM. I'm not about to eat something that looks and smells like baby barf. Blech. The rice one sounds good. I actually bought a box of baby rice cereal and it stayed down without exiting too fast. Like you, I am really concerned about the poison they are trying to give her. Well, I'll continue to think about this. Love you, Jeanne in GA Expecting?

The baby rice hot cereal isn't too bad. > Like you, I am really concerned about the poison > they are trying to give her. Tonight I took her anasazi beans and carrots, asparagus, avocado, tomato slices. They gave her baked potato, steamed broccoli and beets. She had a feast. I'm thankful the doctor has her on an appetite stimulant as much as I don't like meds. We talked about trying to stimulate her appetite and he wasn't sure this would work but it has. If not I would have to work out a plan on my own to increase her appetite. I'd have to find Dr. Feelgood and have him order her something else that would work. She's 83 and I'm not going to her drop weight and eat 50 calories a day. Donna > > Well, I'll continue to think about this. > > Love you, Jeanne in GA > > > > Expecting?

Was thinking this morning about bribing (schmoozing? being nice??) the kitchen staff by taking them a couple big boxes of chocolates or cookies or other goodie and thanking them for the (ONE) good dinner and telling them what she can and cannot eat. (I'm thinking chocolates or cookies or cake, something sweet because though people might saaaaaaaaay they don't let such poison pass their lips, the sweeties get a lot better reception.) Re the anasazi beans. I LOVE those things. Non bean eaters might want to try them. They are sweet and actuallly often in Japanese sweet dishes. I experimented once with cooking them, draining and frying. I tossed the crisped ones with a little salt and turbinado sugar. Yum. Actually TOO yum. I ate the equvilant of an entire pound bag (DRY) of these things in a day. (About 4 to 6 cups beans) Oink oink oink. Praying they will continue with at least trying. (Wasn't any protein on the tray they gave her, I noticed.) Love you girl, hang in there, Jeanne in GA Cheap Talk? Check out Messenger's low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Jeanne What ever gave you the idea to prepare the beans that way. I bet they were good. Reminds me honey roasted peanuts with the way you prepared them. I've never eaten those beans before. Donna you had a lovely meal for your mom. How yummy all of it sounds.

You don't see the kitchen staff often and it's not really in view. Sometimes I see a few of them on the parking lot having their cigarette break. The dietician said many of them don't speak much English. That's another reason they probably make errors filling the trays since some of the words on the card they aren't familiar with. > > > Praying they will continue with at least trying. > (Wasn't any protein on the tray they gave her, I > noticed.)

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Donna, This is not an excuse of not speaking English. Let them hire English speaking people or something else. Quality control matters. Could you imagine Ford Motor Co. saying they were producing a bad engine because the employees could not speak English? They would have so many lawsuits and worse, their PR rating would be down the tubes. This is on top of their 7 billion dollar quarterly loss. They need someone who checks or a system of quality control. GB > > You don't see the kitchen staff often and it's not > really in view.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 GB, We have an estimated 20 million people(or more) in our country who do not speak English. They are typically hired to perform jobs in areas like restaurant kitchens, motels/hotels, nursing homes (cleaning and service jobs),and farm labor. In our state and several others there was a recent raid where thousands of employees, many with stolen ID's (and in our country illegally)were working in meat packing businesses.. It was reported that most of these people could not speak English. Some were deported, others are still in jail. It is a sad situation and I feel so sorry for the families that were split up but this is a reason for concern. I don't have the answer but I am told that often field workers do not have proper sanitation facilities and nursing home workers do not have the proper instructions and do not speak English. I shudder to think of the elderly and challenged people who often given the wrong food by mistake. I have heard first hand stories of the wrong meals being given to hospital patients.
