What we are eating and what's eating us.Tuesday!!
Greetings Miss Linda and all..... Today I'm having dinner at my son's home. He is back from 3 weeks of intense training and will be leaving in a few days for more training then off to Iraq for his second tour.... No, I'm not worried..... he is a good soldier. I'm going to the store today... I NEED to have healthy snacks around.... I've been frustrated with my eating lately. B: cottage cheese w/pear L: chili w/cheese D: BBQ something... son's choice S: protein shakes... Millie 
It is good to see meatballs on your menu once again. That is usually a sign that your life is getting better.
My surgeon gave me a couple of sample protein drinks to try. BLAT! I haven't had protein drinks in ages. Since he specifically asked for my opinion I guess I'll cram one down my throat today instead of an apple and peanut butter for a snack.

I'm kind of down today. I'm quickly running out of money to pay for Mom's assisted living, and since Medicaid won't pay for assisted living (even though it's half the price of a nursing home), I have to find a nursing home for her. I toured one this morning. It was OK, but so depressing. I'm touring another one tomorrow.
B: 1 packet weight control oatmeal w/ 2/3 c. skim milk & 1/2 c. cherries
S: 1 SB cinnamon raisin protein bar
L: 3 oz tofu w/ peanut sauce, 1 sliced tomato
S: 1/2 c. LF cottage cheese w/ strawberries
D: 2 oz orange pork, 1/2 c. tomato-watermelon-cucumber salad
S: not sure - I'm going to a meeting whose facilitator knows I don't do sugar and promised me a "healthy" snack alternative - everyone else is getting warm brownies with vanilla ice cream on them!

Hi Jean,
I know we are in different states but there should be some assisted living places that take Medicaid. I have been a social worker for 20 years and part of what I do is find places for people to live. (Elderly) The assisted living that is the best in town here takes Medicaid. Many do not. Like I said, maybe your state is different. If I can be of any help let me know. I am working in a nursing home now.
Take care,
Cheryl

Unfortunately, none of the assisted living facilities in my area accept Medicaid. I visited them all before I placed Mom where she is now. Maybe I could find one out of this area, but then it would be hard to visit Mom - I want her close by.
Thanks,
Jean

Good morning to you, Linda. I hope that you are doing better with the fall problems you have had. I am keeping you and yours in my special prayers. Take care of yourself and know that you are loved.
The food is strange. I have to get some fish from the store sometime. I don't think it is going to be today. I have made plans for today and it is home! I am going to be tossing. Everything that I can get my hands on! Oh I hope that I can really do it! Bill is going to be at work so he is safe from the dumpster and all I have to say is Misty better stay out of my way or she is there! hahaha
B: sf maple and brown sugar oatmeal
L: scrambled eggs and cheese
D: sausage and veggies
I have a meeting at church tonight so things have to be easy. i am dreading this meeting. I think I am getting burned out doing so much there. It seems to be making a bad mood come out and I don't like that.
Better get going. I am sending love and hugs to you. Special prayers keep going up for you and yours.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
