Comfort Eating Dangers

Four times now, that I know of, my husband has been served "tea" in rehab.  Before he was eating I talked to the dietician and pointed out that coffee and tea were not an option because of religious reasons.  I told her we are Mormons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and she said, "Oh, how about pork...?"

He has been suffering through the soft menu, eating it even without enjoying it.  Think squishy baby food, formed into fake "waffles" and patties.  Syrup and gravy are fine, but salt-less and he liberally uses the Mrs. Dash provided and all the pepper, trying to make things taste.  Pureed spinach and pureed broccoli and peas...no salad yet, nothing to chew or choke on.

I have mentioned my TEA CONCERN to the nurse, to another nurse, to the meal delivery girl. This morning I am putting a sign up, with copies to dietician, one on his door, by his bed, everywhere I can think!  As I was looking for a good quote from lds.org, I found this ENSIGN article, and was stunned.  Not sure how I missed it last October.

I am guilty.  Need to work on this.  Loved the insight.
