I’m currently struggling to reach 115 pounds. I’m at 111.9 pounds now. The last day has been difficult. I ordered minced turkey with mashed potato and gravy. The turkey came without gravy and mashed potato. I went to the kitchen and asked for gravy and they said that the gravy was served on the side.Continue reading “Struggling to Reach 115”

Waiting for Relief
I’ve been waiting for over half an hour for my anti anxiety medication. I’m supposed to take it at 4 pm. But 4 pm came and went and I didn’t get it. So I looked for my nurse with rising blood pressure to ask if it was indeed the time. She was at her deskContinue reading “Waiting for Relief”
My Job
My job in this nursing home is to eat my meals and take my meds every day. I have to eat so that I can gain weight. I don’t have anything else to do. I sit in bed or sit in one of the chairs in the rotunda where the nurses’ station is. Lately I’veContinue reading “My Job”
Focus
I’m trying my best to focus on one thing: to gain weight so I can reach 115 pounds. I’m being challenged by the kitchen because they have a problem cooking food for me. I’m supposed to have my meats ground with sauce on top. They haven’t done that before yesterday. I’ve spoken to the dietaryContinue reading “Focus”
Salmon
Today my cousin and his wife came to visit us. They took us to a restaurant called Applebees where we ate lunch. I picked the place because I wanted to have their Cajun salmon. I thought it would be easy to eat. When the food came I eagerly ate the first bite. However, I foundContinue reading “Salmon”

I’ve had a couple of days where something got stuck in my throat. I managed to recover from it. But today I felt nervous when waiting for breakfast. I ordered scrambled for breakfast. They serve scrambled eggs for breakfast every day. Sometimes the eggs break up in my mouth. I get nervous when a foodContinue reading “Scrambled Eggs”
My Thoughts
This morning I struggled with eating my breakfast. I had scrambled eggs and oatmeal with my coffee. The last two days I have had some food stuck in my throat and I had a hard time getting it down. So when I ate the eggs it was a bit hard to keep all of itContinue reading “My Thoughts”
Thursday
Everyone is settling down for bedtime tonight. I’m spending time looking at social media. There are some posts on cooking I liked. Some posts from dog lovers, or about rescuing stray dogs. The latter makes me feel sad. I wish people would stop abandoning their pets. There are success stories that I liked. Those areContinue reading “Thursday”
All About a Book
I’m delighted. I looked at my publisher’s website and saw that a book I wrote has been sold today. It’s lovely that someone picked my book to read. I’m very happy. I’m inspired to go on writing. Being in a nursing home I don’t have a computer or printer that has my writing software toContinue reading “All About a Book”
Frustration
I’m frustrated. A few days ago I weighed 101.8 pounds. But today I weighed 100.5. Yesterday was good because I ate all of my meals entirely. You can appreciate my feelings of disappointment that no matter how much I ate I can’t get past 101 pounds. Yesterday was particularly good because I successfully ate myContinue reading “Frustration”
