Visiting my mum in her care home (as I do several times a week). She was in her room (not downstairs in the dining room) so I helped feed her the mushy small meal. (I used to bring her a chocolate bar but she has difficulty swallowing now). It was one of her better days, i.e. speaking in English and making sense (not too disorientated or speaking Italian - her native language).
She was 94 last month. Following her recent hip operation, she is still unable to move without assistance. She receives physiotherapy to help get back on her feet but she is scared.
Thanks but I am in UK and do not recognise those brands. She is given fortified dessert/drink occasionally (she had these in the hospital). When I looked after her at her home (living there for 2 years), I used to give her Vit C and Vit B complex (that I also take) and she had an excellent diet since I am a good cook. Although she claimed to have no appetite, she invariably polished off a big plate of food...regularly!If your mother enjoys chocolate how about trying a bottle of a chocolate drink like Boost or Ensure. The chocolate combined with the various nutritional elements might be just what she needs.
Good luck!
Hope they don't damage the roof shingles with their shovels. I'm sure they pretty careful about that.Our condo association has hired a crew to clear of our buildings' roofs. Teams of 10 men are scurrying around on roof tops with shovels removing all the snow and icicles. They were just doing my roof and broke for lunch. I have a 3' pile of snow on my deck that was shoveled off the roof. They have been doing a good job of cleanup as they go.
Feeling a bit better, had a spell yesterday of being unable to swallow, my throat was so swollen, went in and had a shot of cortisone for that. Still running bouts with a fever, but it's starting to cool off.
Gravity, not to mention ice, is my "downfall" or "fall down go boom" nemesis. Happens to me on Handicap ramps for some stupid reason.
I am about to go in and wake up Shrek, his Laser eye surgery 2 weeks ago to attach his retina has failed (found out Friday) and he's going in for eye surgery this morning. It's been a stressful weekend.
Thanks for asking!
Hope everyone is feeling better...PF, Chef Munky, and anyone else who is feeling under the weather.
PF, they always say that colds, pneumonia, bronchitis, are NOT caused by being out in the cold with only a sweater. In fact, I've heard that you CAN be bundled up too much. DH wears a summer jacket all winter and rarely gets sick.
What is the difference between walking pneumonia and regular pneumonia?
Having my second cup of coffee and watching the news about the multi train car derailment in SoCal - it's a miracle there are no fatalities! Aerial views show the train cars tossed around the tracks like little toys.

Kayelle, this is so close to you - you and SousChef must be glued to the TV this morning!
Shrek's surgery went fine, he had his follow up this morning and the Doc said everything looked good.
