She ate how much?

Who knew this little person who's been on hospice in end stage heart failure for 18 months could eat so much?

Some very dear friends took her, my husband and me out for dinner tonight as part of her continuing 91st birthday celebration  She wolfed down a nice salad, petite filet, roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables..  Then she wanted gelato....  Oh, she also had rolls and butter...

No big deal.  Just so glad she still enjoys eating and has an appetite.

The best thing about hospice is the absence of Food Police...  These folks eat whatever they damn well please...  My mother's heart and lungs are so deficient that she can burn 6,000 calories a day just trying to stay alive.

None of this is particularly remarkable except that when I took her home to the Heaven House the caregiver asked if she was able to eat anything...  Say what??  My mother forgot that we were taking her out and she ate dinner before we picked her up....  She had her usual veggie platter and ice cream an hour before we took her to the restaurant.

Maybe she could have a second career as a competitive eater....  There's serious money involved in competitive eating...  This could help finance her end of life care.  Are there any agents out there interested in representing her?  She'd be especially competitive in the ice cream category.  Vanilla Please!  She's cute and photogenic too...
