Busy, busy, busy

Nurse Ion is in her role, and busy making daily visits to Patient R. at the hospital. She will hate me for revealing this, but yesterday R. passed wind (!), a major milestone after GI surgery. Now she's successfully farted, she can gingerly start to eat. Nurse Ion's role will also include cooking some soft foods to take up to her. The hospital food here comes up cook-chilled from Wales and in my experience was inedible, so it's really important that significant others prevent malnutrition by bringing in proper, nutritious and home-cooked food. There's a thin lentil and tomato soup simmering for tomorrow, and today we're taking in a chicken noodle broth from a real dead chicken. She's central European, so there's no more heimische food.
