I post from the hospital. Last night, I had a heart attack. In order for me to be admitted for further help, I was forced swabbed up the nose. This scared me more than the heart attack; fyi I'm not old, no high cholesterol or fat, no reason they can identify for the heart attack. But back to the nose swab... please someone offer me words of comfort here I really feel so scared about THAT alone

Good night fren.
I forgot to mention yogurt. They had that and cereal and milk too. After a couple of days of you not placing an order with dietary, your Doctor will flip out . Then you can tell them to let you have some salt in your food, your meal is all you have to look forward to and your morale is slipping because of the total lack of flavor in your food . I got put on a regular diet, no salt packets on the tray but at least the food had flavor. Hope it works for you.
I might avoid hospital milk though. If it isn't organic you do NOT want to know what is in it. Seriously gross.
Id stick with the least processed most natural foods. But thats just me.
Oh yeah , have a special bag for hospital trips with Mc Donald salt packets concealed some where. A few years later I was hospitalized twice for something different and because my chart said "Heart Patient " I automatically got put on the "shit food" list. Haha. I had salt.
Yes, I know I'm usually sweet as pie, but they kept trying to make me lay flat and I felt like I was suffocating / drowning and they told me I was combative and using terrible words. I really don't remember, but now I know I can plead ignorance and kick up a storm if there is a next time lol . Guess I was pretty scary.
