Well the week-end's over, thank God! Both boys seem to be pretty healthy. What miracles we witnessed this past week with our two sons! Both were admitted to Boston's Children's Hospital ICU, only a few days post op for me, with bad case of pneumonia. My oldest was the worst. Some days/hours not not knowing if he would pull through. Then after all the prayers and hard work of the hospital, a switch was turned and he was moved to a normal floor after 5 or 6 days in ICU. Two days later we were all home. So stress management became my new goal. What could I turn to? I can't eat cookies or a cake to make me feel better.... Well I tried reading, which I despise, and I did a lot of walking around the hospital just to keep moving and help with the depression. These things did work a little. As far as the eating, well I tried a soup I never thought I would and loved it. My only problem was, we're in a hospital trying to get healthy but the food had more salt and fat amongst other crap than most fast food meals. I just don't get it. Have our taste buds become so numb that more salt is required to enjoy it? Or are the food people, doctors and medical companies all in it to keep us sick and make more money? Who knows, I'm just glad my wife makes the BEST chicken and pea soup in the world. Now I can get back to me and getting off this weight!
