Between that, and the cucumber, you’ve almost gotten to the meat of the Dr’s transplant joke.
Latest update... I’m home. 
And lunch was tolerable.
The trick I found, was to pick items that required minimal intervention by the “Nutrition” staff.
Tomato soup. They opened a can of Campbell's pre-mixed. Nothing to add.
Cottage cheese. Just scoop it out of the 55 gallon drum.
Banana. Unpeeled, ripe. What’s to screw up?
And a Cheeseburger. Bun, cooked patty, melted cheese. That was the riskiest item on my lunch tray.
It was every bit as good as the hamburger I had at that hospital the last time I had a procedure there, four decades ago. The patty may have been in the the cryogenic unit since then, who knows?

Laughter is the best medicine... uh well next to the stuff connected to the button.
Who's finger is it and where exactly was that finger before?!
I love contemplating the important questions of life that mankind has been asking since the dawn of time.Who's finger is it and where exactly was that finger before?!
Some questions are best left unanswered.Who's finger is it and where exactly was that finger before?!
...and the only alcohol they serve comes in the form of wipes.
Lunch was pressed rat on Winter Vegetables. Winter cause they had to thaw them out first?

Dinner was shoe leather on IMPs (Industrial, aka instant, Mashed Potatoes) with gravy.
Now one of my weirdness’ is that I like IMPs if you do them up right.
Have liked em ever since I was a kid. drool
Mrs. Garage Bander being a closet gourmet chef, won’t allow them in the house, so I gotta sneak ‘em when I can. This place has ruined IMPs for me.
But the service is great! Just push a button and they bring you whatever.
Might go home tomorrow if I don’t develop a severe reaction to what they feed me..
So nothing life threatening, no ER, just a planned visit. Had to get a little work done in an area South of my nose, North of my knees.
Dr. made a joke about a transplant that would probably get me in trouble here. Damn near made me blush!
Mrs. GB asked if he could also do a grumpectomy. “Sorry, that’s a different specialty.”
Breakfast will be some kind of egg scramble thing, can’t hardly wait.
They said as long as I could keep my food down, I could go home sooner. Sounds like some kind of racket if you ask me.
Anyway, you’re all gonna have to put up with me a while longer. Consider yourself as having been served notice. Unless I eat the paper that notice is printed on, first.
TNC with a side of carrots looking pretty good right now.
I feel your pain, sir.
I'm sitting in a hospital bed right now. Been here almost 2 weeks. Foot surgery and recovery.
Can't wait to get real food again.
Oh bummer.
I hope you get feeling better and out of there soon.
I can’t imagine two weeks.
I’ve had foot surgery.
That’s some long recovery time when they get in there.
