My intestine story - Worries are over! Let's eat! - Day 15

Here follows a journal of the past two weeks and the difficulties I went through. I will write each day as a new post for easy reading. To sum it up: I had to get an emergency operation because my intestines couldn't digest food. Here is what happened...

Monday,  2 June

Now that I am healthy and all good (except for my lungs which need the antibiotics via drip), I will dedicate the rest of my posts to some of the most amazing meals that I have ever tasted in my life. I want to add some photos as well! 


Today was "Day 2" on the Chef Special Menu.

My breakfast:
This is what I usually order. It is a list of foods which you can tick. I usually compile the following:
A usual breakfast (just add another fritter)

Muesli + yogurt
Fruit juice

2 sweetcorn and chive fritters
2 poached eggs
1/2 tomato, grilled, with basil pesto
LOTS of bacon
toast




My Lunch:
As the chef special did not interest me at all, I decided to, once again, tick the boxes and compile my own lunch. This is what I usually order in this case:

small soup of the day

whole baby potatoes / mash
grilled chicken escalope (otherwise known as freaken deliciously tender chicken breast grilled to perfection with various spices)
veggies of the day: stirfry carrots, onion and cabbage

Jelly and custard



My Dinner:
I ordered the chef special, as well as a self-compiled dinner as dinner is served at 5pm, and I am up until 1am. It is a hospital thing, I guess, not being able to sleep.

slow cooked roast beef stew
mash
veggies of the night: oven roasted veggies

CHEF SPECIAL: CHEESE, NUTS, BILTONG AND BISCUIT PLATTER! woop-woop! Celebration, baby!

Tinned pears for dessert



THE most AMAZING thing, ever!
CHEESE, BILTONG, NUTS AND BISCUIT PLATTER
Well done to the Netcare kitchen staff. You know how to treat your patients :)

 Hopefully I will remember to take pictures of tomorrows food.

Now that the worst is over, I'd like to give a shout out to our Lord for being so amazing and for helping me through this tough time. I want to thank him for keeping me and my family and friends strong. Our God really is an awesome God.

Stay awesome, Readers!
