Em's still not feeling very good, so I let her sleep in (she never does that, so she must be unwell) but she has come through now, bringing the big duvet off the bed with her and is now tucked up in the kitchen chair. She wanted some cherries, but I only let her have 3 - just in case they start everything up again. I've told her she must have lots to drink today and we'll steer clear of too many vegetables or fruit. We have quite a few protein things available for her. She can just pick at things. She did want to eat the chunky salad that she made to go with the chicken and cauliflower, but I think that can only be a small part of her diet today. She actually didn't eat any of the cauliflower yesterday - had plenty of chicken and cheesey mash though. I had some bits of cauliflower - very nice - but didn't bother with anything else.
Today: Breakfast was something I've wanted to try for a long time - a slice of white bread with a hole cut in the middle, fried in a little butter and an egg broken into the hole. Fairly high carbs, for me, but it didn't put BG up by much.
2nd meal: probably picking, like Em. There's chicken, ham, cheese, some cooked pork plus the salad Em made and some other veggies in boxes, ready to use.
DIL left a basket of fruit and veg that should be used this week - Braidie won't eat any of it - so I'll have to make something with that - froze some grapes, will make soup with tomatoes, red peppers and carrots and will chop up all the bits and pieces of fruit to make a fruit compote. That can go in the freezer, or down to Em's house, if her dad does get home after all. That's a possibility now - lots of staff at the Western Isles hospital either sick or isolating due to covid, so they won't be doing any non-urgent surgery.
