Mom has been eating much better these days, nearly 100 % for breakfasts and lunches! Dinner between 90% and 100%
Clearly the two appetite increasers have fully metabolized and are doing their job now. (It can take 3 to 5 weeks for these to be effective.)
She gained 4 pounds last week and I'm expecting a few more pounds this week.
Physical therapy is a challenge still with the chair exercises doing well but the standing not as much. It's slow going but progress is being made.
Tonight found mom sitting at dinner having eaten only 1/2 an artichoke and a little fruit but none of her dinner (osso bucco and baked potato)
Further investigation and confessions by some SanRafaelian cookie enablers shows that Mom The Cookie Monster had surfaced in full form! Apparently after a wheelchair ride around the complex the suggestion was made to have some coffee and COOKIES! Like a duck to water the intrepid cookie MOMSTER commenced to eating cookies and more cookies (reports of a cookie theft have been confirmed)
Was initially worried but after the nurses confirmed the breakfast and lunch intake at 100% I just figured that mom had multiple cookies with a side of artichoke for dinner. That's cool, she's entitled to a little me/cookie time.
