The nun and family

Visited the nun's mother this afternoon. She is 88 with a will to live - call her feisty. We promised her to take her out to the Diner for a sundae after she gets discharged. She loves those outings. Tried to cheer up the nun.
They served a big chicken or turkey leg - on piece - for dinner. Ridiculous. How can an elderly person who is blind cut something like this up? I am amazed how all the doctors and nurses are so fixated on the medications which is wonderful but they don't think when it comes to food. Nobody is in charge - one food fits all. I guess you don't need to eat when in the hospital and are legally blind and have no teeth. Looking is enough.
