I get your point, but the food is awful! When I was in the hospital I kept choosing the low cal meals because they were the most appetizing. The medical staff kept suggesting I choice options with the awful canned gravy. They were afraid of weight loss. Also, I did not like the option of now being able to go outside.

Each to there own.

I am glad that atleast someone appreciates being in hospital. I think I did not mind being in hospital when gave birth to my son.

You could be pampered at home, but you would have to hire someone to come in and cook and clean everyday. It wouldn't be quite as pricey as being in the hospital and you wouldn't be surrounded by sick people.

I have that arrangement since I am unable to do those things anymore. I have someone help me dress and bathe and my husband does the cooking. But, to be honest, I wish I could do all those things again.

Viv,

You do have a point lol but I'll pass and stay home I hope. Years back (long before stroke) I was in hospital overnight for exploratory surgery. The care AND food were phenomenal. Family jokingly referred to it as the "sicky hilton". The month I was in rehab post stroke was a nightmare - definitely not the sicky hilton lol. I got better to be able to leave and return home.

lwiseman - I'm usually in a children's hospital, and their food is actually decent. I don't have specialized meals, other than "eat all you want", because I need to gain weight! I couldn't go outside either... heart telemetry didn't have a signal strong enough to wander. But I don't go out much at home, either! Windows suffice LOL

Mema - Eh, I could have my dad do most everything for me. But he already tends a grandson, and I'm just too nice anyway
