Julie :

Asha

Thanks Julie for the update on Larry. I hope when you get the stuff to add in the oatmeal it will help him put on a few more pounds he needs badly you say. I guess I never had a problem eating whatever but I love my ice cream too.

I'm surprised he didn't get a ticket for no seat belt. Boy, they get you here in my city left and right just driving down the street they ease right up behind you then put the light on you soon as you pull off from a stop light.

Julie: good news alll around. You must look to your recovery next few days. Please hydrate and rest. No direct sunlight. If you need a sun hat, let me know. I will send you my wedding hat, which I never wore! LOL.

I know you are looking forward to Tina's visit and she will have a lot of suggestions for you.

Thank you for the update. Debbie

Great news on your surgery and glad your son didn't get hurt. Let me know how the stuff works for Larry. I take Oliver to the swallow specialist tomorrow to see what can be done to help him swallow. Enjoy your visit with your daughter.

Thanks to all for your well wishes. Debbie, if I wore the wedding hat down the street, people would surely think I have finally flipped. lol Thanks anyway.

Judy, I will let you know as it should arrive by tomorrow.

Julie

That is great to hear about the calorie booster -- others have these issue thanks for the share. !! and why for heavens sake does it have to POUR when it rains... you like me have had enough already >>right !!

I am sure I replied to this, but see it no where. Let my try again. So glad the surgery is behind you and you can start healing from that. I have copied the name of the additive Benecalorie -thanks for giving it, as I have a friend whose husband often can't eat much. He does the ensure type drinks, but this is another thing they can use.

I hope your son is no worse for wear and recovered nicely from the accident.

Thanks for the well wishes from all. I get the stitches out Monday. Yes, Nancy sometimes we have to pull "double caregiving duty". Hope you are doing better.

The Benecalorie came this week and it is a little "disk like" package that looks like a cream colored liquid. It is an oil like consistency, and is 330 calories and 7 g of protein. I put it in Larry's milk and he cannot taste it. It is about $35 per case of 24. Not cheap, and I buy the "Boost" also. I use to get the Boost or Ensure type supplements with the Target brand, but it has disappeared off the shelf. I don't know if they are behind in making more or what. Larry liked it and it was also cheaper!

Julie

Julie, do you have a Walmart? They have the equate version of Ensure. Be sure to get the Equate Plus though, it has more in it for those who need it. Some people just drink it to skip meals, and by the plain Equate with less calories.

Sandy, I have the Equate Plus in our fridge. Larry does not like it as well as the Target brand Plus one. I put ice cream in it tho and he drinks it. : )
