>>> high compliment from him...

> I guess we all have our own eating styles... ;)
JK> Yes, and everybody's body is different in how it processes the fuel we
JK> put in I've been wearing essentially the same size clothes for
JK> so long, it's almost funny when I look in my closet I have this
JK> velvet outfit I sewed a bazillion years ago that I'm hoping to wear
JK> this holiday season.. It's pretty cool... velvet knickers and jacket
JK> ... works great with boots and a satin blouse :)
How pretty... :) You are so right as to everybody's body being
different in how it processes its fuel... Mine certainly isn't as
accomodating as yours is...
>>> It can be an ongoing struggle to get someone like her actually motivated

>> The meds they give her don't help with mental clarity either.. most

JK> Yes, this week continues to confirm what we feared after we heard
JK> about the stroke.. with essentially no progress, her insurance will
JK> slip into Medicaid as opposed to medicare.
She might have been having little strokes all along that just weren't
noticeable... that would also have played into the ability/mindset for
doing the rehab...
>> It gets better for Ron as the days go on, so that's a good thing, and
>> I seem to have recovered now from the chest infection.
> Yes, both are good things... good signs, too... :)
JK> And today I felt great because I ordered a number of 'seed pods' for
JK> my aerogarden - that is a always boost :) :) That company is so great,
JK> I love it... I ordered eggplant, sweet peppers (not into hot ones
JK> ), tomatoes and bok choy :) Should be here in a couple days
JK> so that's just great :)
That's a mood booster, for sure... :) And you'll have the fresh
veggies to look forward to even as the season gets less appealing
outside... ;)
>>>> It was a heavy load when she was here before she broke her

>>> I wonder if some of it is institutional delirium... her brain not

>> Could be true but she wasn't "all there" many days well before her
>> latest fall.
> Lots of factors there... And that could have contributed to her fall in

JK> Yes, and now that we know she had a stroke it makes way to much sense
JK> :(
True.
>> I'm doing ok now, and Ron has been doing better as well, but I'm not

JK> Oh yes, we are in pretty much constant contact with the facility, so
JK> that helps.
Yes, that would... :)
>>>>> Well, I have been trying to force myself to eat 'decent' food as

>>>>> this doesn't change :(
>>>> Just need to keep at it... nibble on good stuff between meals if you
>>>> can... make the cookies specially nutritious... ;)
JK> My favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies is one that I've used
JK> since "forever".. it is so good, just 2cups peanut butter, and 2 cups
JK> sugar (I cut down the sugar to about 1 1/2 cups), and no flour.
Those would be rather nutritious... and be an easier way to eat the PB
than on a spoon from the jar...
>>>> I've been making pumpkin bread - that's great :)
>>> And eating nice thick slices of it with plenty of butter...? ;)
>> Well, pumpkin bread at least haha :)
> Not that into slathering it with butter....? :)
JK> Nah, too much butter kills it IMO .. but to each his own I guess
JK> :)
Yup.
>>>> Another use for your indoor garden... :) Have you made any goodies yet
>>>> with the pumpkins...?
>>> Maybe next week.. we'll see :)
>> Anything yet...? ;)
JK> I'm going to be defrosting some of the pumpkin soon to start pumpkin
JK> bread, and pies for the holidays soon :)
Yup the holidays are fast approaching now... :)

... Forbidden fruit is responsible for many a bad jam.
