Thank you all for your good wishes.
We are counting down the days until surgery. It is very difficult for George. He does not get out of the house except for P.T. of Dr. appointments. I hate shopping but now look forward to it because it gets me out of the house.
Cooking is no longer joyful; it has become a chore. I struggle to change things up and keep things interesting for G. Cooking has become work.
The last two weeks I have been cooking large quantities of protein. I want leftovers to freeze. I want protein cooked so all I have to do is heat it up, add a salad and a vegetable - dinner is served.
I have brisket, meat loaf, lentil soup, a potato minced meat casserole and beef short ribs. Tomorrow I will make a tuna casserole. I will pick up two rotisserie chickens from Costco. We will have dinner off of one. The remainder will be chicken celery soup. The second chicken will be cut in half and frozen. The day we get home from the hospital I will get George situated and make a quick trip to the vegetable market to stock up. I feel like I am preparing for a siege. Either that or I am losing my mind.
It is late. I just remembered i have to put the trash out for pick up. That is something else G always took care of.
Love you all. I will try to stay intouch.
