My neighbor had some surgery today and I felt like I wanted to make them dinner.They're always doing for us,so I made fruited pork chops and mashed potatoes and gravy for them and took it up there,but I took enough out so Harry could have a nice dinner.They were surprised and enjoyed their meal,and hubby did too.I was feeling like a salad was in order,so that's what I had with cherry tomatoes and radishes.

Lunch will be waffles. Dinner will be a hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn. I really need to phase out about half of the mashed potatoes, so...time to redo the grocery list. MORE VEGGIES, fewer potatoes.

OT, but not entirely. I ordered a new cook book, and love the fact that there are a BUNCH of casseroles that can be made, frozen, then thawed and baked when needed. LOL, ALL ladies of a certain age in the Deep South TREASURE these. We generally have five or six in our freezers, just in case someone falls ill, or passes away. We'd no more make a condolence call without a decent casserole or other homemade food offering than we'd run nekked down mainstreet as church let out!

They do things for us too,so I thought I'd take the opportunity.They are awesome folks.Pacemaker wise he's doing well.He wishes he didn't have to be so restrained for 4 weeks but I keep telling him the doc has his reasons.He goes for a check up this coming Wednesday.Hip wise not so good.For 4 nights after his implant,he slept like a rock,but now he's back to a lot of pain and very little sleep.I'm just going to be so grateful when it's done and he can get on the road to recovery.How are you doing after your surgery?

Absolutely right- as a lady of a certain age in the Deep South

My neighbor friend just lost her beloved husband-I had made baked penne rigati a couple of weeks ago with Italian sausage &meatball on the side that I froze- so glad I did,my friend said she hadn't even thought about eating for the 4 days hospice was there before he passed until the food was in front of her

Good news, not so good news. 🤗 Glad he's feeling better regarding the pacemaker. That's a big relief but sorry he's having pain from the hip implant. When can he start physical therapy for it? Is there something he can take for the ongoing pain?

I made veggie stir fry last night with salad on the side. Raisin bran muffin and honeycrisp apple for dessert.

Oh my -it is great he's doing well with the pacemaker,thank God! I'm sorry to hear he is in pain with the hip,I had the hip replaced and not being able to do his rehab is definitely why the poor guy is suffering-have they not sent a PT and nurse to the house or did his cardio surgeon postpone it? What a position to be in,I feel so bad for your Harry- it was awful trying to sleep with the hip ,the knee too

I'm doing very well but moving around is the key,the more you do the better you feel- I'm peddling my stationary bike everyday increasing range of motion big time- and it's still hard to find a comfortable position to sleep 30 days post surgery- but I'm good..... I'm praying for your husband to be cleared for rehab ,the least pain, the most comfort and a speedy full recovery🙏❤
