We are eating very light salads and meals.
Sunday night, we had a Greek pasta salad, and B ate some! That made me happy.
Monday- left-over Greek salad, and my daughter made a pan of polenta with herbs and cheese.
Tuesday- something Mexican. I have beans and rice, so I just need to add a protein.
Wednesday- I want to use some pasta (fettuccine from TJ’s) in the freezer. I’ll add grilled chicken or some shrimp.
Thursday- Again, some freezer meal to keep working our way through stuff. Plus, I have a container of spring mix to use for a salad.
Friday- not sure. My son is coming up to get the truck and smog it. He’s spending the night because the next day he’s going to do a dump run. Of course, all this depends on how B is doing.
All in all, we’re keeping it very simple. Nothing too involved. Just simple food.
Anyone who has had cancer or is going through end of life recognizes how small your world becomes. You just don’t go out a lot or even really care about much except what’s next. I’d love to go down to the pool or the gym, but I’ll have to see how each day shapes up. If I can, I’ll try and do something this week.
We did a phone intake with hospice yesterday. It was very thorough, so we’ll see what today brings.
Don’t forget to set aside time for yourself each day.
I won’t!!thanks so much for the reminder.
i hope you can get hospice in soon. Taking care of a loved one is exhausting. I was my sister’s caregiver through all of her cancer treatments and a big part of the hospice time (her daughter had just had a baby and couldn’t step in until near the very end). Yes, be sure to get some time for yourself, as you’ll need your own care and keeping energy up.
Thanks Celie, I do get plenty of ‘me’ time. Either reading or the gym/pool. But it’s probably going to get a little more difficut as things progress.
