One good thing about U of Maryland hospital is that they don't seem to believe in serving green Jello. They also will give you an actual apple with your diabetic meal,which they seem to have a better grasp of the concept of than the other hospitals I've been in, but,of course, none of them are perfect.

Which brings me back to being reinstated in the burn ward in the recovery ward, where I do constant verbal battle with the "pleasingly obese" (Mama told me not to say 'fat) nutritionist, Nonnetta Bull, who insists that the green Jell-o is the healthiest kind, which is why they seem to rely on it almost exclusively. Fresh fruit seems out of the question. I get visitors to bring some in.

HurtyGertie has the rehab room at the moment, soI'm being stretched to the max by the lady who seems to love torque even more thanTorquemada did.
