^Awesome........
He over did a bit in PT today - shoulder is sore - but maybe in a good way...
Welcome back Neil, don't push yourself too hard, enjoy the pleasure of being home and the taste of decent food again.
I can empathize about the crap they serve in hospitals....
You can tell i am just awake, posted in the wrong thread...

Is there such a thing?

All the meals are done in Toronto (about 2 hours away) and shipped to the hospital. No wonder the oatmeal bears a strong resemblance to wallpaper paste and the coffee tastes like it was brewed with water from the duck pond outside my room window.

Wow, that sounds awful. My local hospital still prepares food in house. And it's really pretty decent.
As Her Majesty would say, Neil seems to be having something of an anus horribilis.
Sorry. The nurse told me my gown was tied up in back and everything was covered.
That's ridiculous, Neil.
Good, hot, nutritious food is part of the healing process and there's the staff and visitors to feed, too.

^ There's a cafeteria there where the food is cooked on site, and there's even a Tim Hortons, but most patients can't get to them and are stuck with the hospital meals shipped in from Toronto.
^ Both.
The bedpans are made of pressed cardboard. I had one collapse under me.
It wasn't pretty.

Yeah, that's bad.
My local Hospital does Room Service. They deliver the daily printed menu (it changes daily) about 5:30 AM, and when you are hungry, you call to the desk and order off the Menu. There's a standard fare, plus daily specials depending on what the Cooks have found that day. All meals are prepared to order (based, of course, on your Doctor's restrictions).
The Nurses monitor the patients, and should they not order regularly, then they step in and order for you.
Evening meals are generally local, farm to table specials, with regular menu items also available.
There's also a fully equipped kitchen on each floor, available to Visitors, if they choose to cook a meal while they are visiting. Staples (flour, salt, spices, sugar, milk, bread, etc.) are supplied in each kitchen, all the guests have to do is provide the main ingredients.
It's actually pretty decent food. They will also provide one complimentary guest meal per day.
And all rooms are private. It's kind of a Country Club Hospital.
Yooper,
That sounds more the way it should be.
I know URMC's new Golisano Children's Hospital building was featuring (I think ALL) private rooms so parents/families could be with their loved ones and also HIPPA concerns. They have Ronald McDonald houses in hospital and nearby, too.
The area hospitals have similar to what you mentioned - a build-your-own meal menu for all three - along with featured main courses that changed daily in addition to the regular items.
If there's a hot food prep cafeteria onsite, there's no reason not to enlist/expand that staff to provide better, fresher food for the patients.

What? Me? Really?
I had a UPP surgery in Anchorage when I lived there in 2009. It was only an overnight stay, but they brought me breakfast the next day.
Right off the bat, I noticed orange juice on the tray. Really? After throat surgery? When I asked for it to be changed, they offered other acidic fruit juices. Cauterization wasn't on the menu in my mind.
They offered milk but I was lactose intolerant, so they finally sent up a 10 oz. glass of non-dairy Coffee Mate whitener for coffee. Blech. Chalk in water.
As I reflect on it, I'm still stupefied that they had no soy milk, no lactose-free milk, or any provision at all for lactose intolerant patients. It's really common.
No idea why they call those people caregivers.

Our old hospital used to have flexible menus and such, but the new hospital, built about 12 years ago, didn't include a kitchen. It was cheaper to 'order in'.
There are many semi-private rooms, less private rooms, and even fewer small wards (4 beds).

Sounds like a step backwards, sadly, Neil.
Jason - you missed a "P" in that surgery.
They served me Grapefruit juice the next morning.
They also had a monster Ibuprofen for me to try to take - I had my wife sneak in an encaprin capsulated aspirin - the swelling went down in 1/2 hour. Aspirin is a better anti-inflammatory than ibuprofen. I know, it can also promote bleeding a little more.
I got some Apricot Nectar when I got home. It's not full juice, but it's not as acidic and the viscosity is thick enough to be soothing when drinking.
For those who don't know what a UPPP is - to help with snoring. In my case, also helped reduce incidences of gagging on my Uvula in the mornings when I brushed my teeth - allergies/post nasal drip aggravated/inflamed back of throat.
UvuloPahryngoPalatoPlasty
I had mine in '86. Back then was still a knife. Now it's laser.
I have an MRI scheduled for Tuesday so I just had to write out my medical history a few times - that was on the top on my mind.
It's funny, when I was going over with a doctor, I kept forgetting one surgery or other. It's pretty bad when you talk about having a stent in a cardiac artery and two minutes later don't mention the angioplasty, lol.
The MRI is to rule out causes for my sustained high PSA numbers - they've done two biopsies the past two years and both were negative. I know one thing that elevates it, and I saw just how much this past blood work - my PSA at the first test was 18.8. After I had the test, before I got the results, I remembered that it is best to abstain from prostate stimulation/ejaculation for at least two days before a test. We did a post test test, and it was down to around 12.5+/-; still way high, but a helluva lot lower.
Open musings among friends:
I haven't asked him, and he knows I had one - but I wonder if having had a vasectomy might elevate the levels - there's no place for the sperm to go but be reabsorbed by the body.
I read a news article a couple of years ago about a study done on Breast Cancer preventative measures - specifically, women whose breasts were regularly massaged have a lower risk of breast cancer.

The breasts (mammary gland) is a producing, secreting gland. So is the prostate. If the study is accurate re: the mammary gland, might it also hold true for the prostate?
I had explored a little - bought a fairly inexpensive toy in an adult store - it wasn't the best, didn't stay in.
I saw Aneros somewhere along the way - got a Helix/Syn, and use it frequently, in addition to other meditation, to borrow a word from Cormac - so I know I'm promoting higher "normal" levels in my body.
What can I say, I'm a horny bastard, like most of you. I sometimes insert the Helix/Syn and sleep with it in me, so it can provide the prophylactic medical benefits while I sleep. Doesn't hurt the AM shower release, either.
In any event - I'm wondering if the combination of vasectomy and very frequent stimulation/orgasm is effectively exercising my prostate into generating high but non-cancer indicating levels of PSA?
I can tell you that the biopsy is not fun. Local anaesthetic, then it feels like an Arrow T50 HD Staple gun fired in your ass against the prostate - with the occasional direct link to the one-eyed snake tip, as it were.
