@Anna N so sorry to hear you are in the hospital! I caught up on all your posts and have come to the conclusion that the head of dietary at your hospital is deeply misanthropic.
If @Kerry Beal comes by at lunchtime before you get sprung you should order from that guest menu and do a Ladies Who Lunch, Hospital Edition. (Of course, Kerry should bring backup pho or something just to make sure you both get some nutrition in you!)
