LUNCH THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE AND NAPPING MY HUNGER AWAY............

Not being the biggest of breakfast eaters, especially in hospital, where commotion and fitzing to get the day underway are the norm, I ate as much of the small portion of scrambled egg (maybe substitute) toast, peach cup, and milk, I was very hungry by the time lunch arrived at 1q2:30 p.m. It was a delicious beef stew, wheat roll, margarine, and iced tea. But it was quite a small bowl of stew, leaving me more than half hungry after finishing. That sent into a two hour nap. Awaiting and hoping for a snack and tie myself over until dinner 6 p.m. or thereafter, my choices were limited to diet jello, or a small salad, which I've too much of presently, and would suffice little more than water. So it's water until dinner arrives. Hopefully, the dinner portion will be something appetizing, tasty, and sufficient enough to knock down my hunger. The prime alternative to CNN and FOX News on this afternoon on this limited, sub basic, cable package, is "Forest Gump". the Screen Actors Guild Awards air following, which will entertaining. So much for a slow, drawn out, day waiting on more food. It's been infused by a phone call from Fr, Steve Avella, at Marquette University, in Milwaukee, Wiscon, and a chaplain's visit before lunch from Dr, Tom Bland, who was covering the hospital today............Fr.
