My sister is in hospital

My sister is in hospital about an hour away from us. They are not too sure what is wrong. She is dizzy and nauseous and feels very weak. They are running lots of tests to try to get some answers. She is 88 and we share a birthday along with our deceased brother (her twin). I asked her what the food was like. She immediately went into rave mode. The first night she’d had a huge lamb shank with vegetables. When I was growing up shanks were boiled to make stock for soup. The shanks were then fed to the dogs. Now, they’re touted as a gourmet meal. I guess it’s all in how they were cooked. The photo is of a decadent dessert we had once. If I've put it up before, that just shows what an impression it made on me.

I hope the doctors can figure out what is wrong with your sister and can treat it effectively. I'm glad they're feeding her well, at least. The last time I was in the hospital, I only got clear soups and I was hungry all the time. I couldn't wait to go home and fix real food. (I was in the hospital for three days because of an allergic reaction. They were afraid the allergy was food related.)

I'm going into hospital on Thursday but won't be getting fed either. I'll write about it soon.

Thanks. I hope they can help her. She's not a sickly person by any means so this has come as a bit of a shock.

I hope your sister will be okay soon. Your dessert looks like it should be posted more than once.
