Tempt My Appetite Please

[mrs_overall]

The last proper meal I ate was around 22nd December! Since coming home from hospital on Tuesday I have managed to eat 3 spoonfuls of home-made veg soup, 1 scrambled egg and three slices of toast in total. I am prescribed one of those malnutrition supplements but I need to get back into the habit of eating. I have no appetite whatsoever so any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Is Sanatogen Tonic Wine still available? Was it horrible though?

[mrs_overall]

I like the sound of that one Gness.....apart from the "sanatagen" and "tonic" bit.

Food eaten today so far: one soft boiled egg and 4 salted peanuts

[gness]

Good.....You've had something. I would have to skip the peanuts. Fierce allergy. I read an article recently about a girl who almost died after making love to her partner after he had eaten peanuts. I thought ...Oh nuts! I know I'm not interested in a relationship but imagine the conversation in the throes of passion.....Errr...excuse me, can you tell me when you last ate a peanut?
Or worse!!! Gness died of shock after sex!

Right, that's a bit of protein then, so your hair won't fall out for a bit longer ;)

Fancy something like fruitcake?

[mrs_overall]

humber, I didn't until you just mentioned it. We still have half an Xmas cake. Back shortly. xx

[humbersloop]

I also find trifle has miraculously restorative powers, but it might be early days on that

Ahhh Mme. Globalement ........

Je suppose que un tub de smoked mackerel paté est out of la question?

[humbersloop]

[boxtops]

[mrs_overall]

Please, please please do NOT mention fish

A small sliver of fruit cake has gone down well with a cup of lemon tea

[humbersloop]
