You Call This Hospital Food?

Quick note - the food at Piedmont Hospital was incredible. I had a consultation with a Dietitian on the first day I was admitted - she asked about any religious or ethnic preferences as well as my personal tastes. After finding out that my perfered diet of steak and red wine was not only unavailable, but incredibly unhealthy for my body, we agreed on a sensible diet considered normal for cancer patientes. Every morning someone came to MY ROOM and took MY ORDER for lunch, dinner, and breakfast for the following day! Granted, the order was from a limited menu of just a few choices, but still - pretty nice to have a choice at all!

The food was excellent, and came with a printout of exactly what you were getting. I saved a few of them and I'll dictate them here for you:

Salt Pepper Sugar Kit
Orange Juice
2 Jelly's
2 Scrambled Eggs

I mean holy cow! Keep in mind that these people also had to work with my dietary restrictions while my blood cell counts were low - nothing with any sort of bacteria. Hat's off the anyone you ever meet who works in the food services division at Piedmont - those guys are top notch!
