Some good. Last night was chicken salad with tomatoes and fruit Tasty
and great presentation any restaurant would be proud to serve,
Lunch today was chicken Alfredo with broccoli and garlic bread stick.
Again, pretty good.
Breakfast was scrambled eggs with cheese and a potato patty. Simple and usually delicious. How can you screw up such a simple meal? They did.
The taste and texture was as if they added wallpaper taste to the mix. I could not eat more than a couple of forkfuls.

When I was in the hospital after heart surgery the food was pretty good.
 When I was in for my gall bladder I was on a clear fluid diet so I had clear broth and Jello. Not impressed. Then there was the time I spent in
the cardiac ER in a pretty new hospital. The food was revolting.

I saw how they can screw up something even simpler. They served me a
*scoop* of scrambled eggs which miraculously maintained the shape even
as I stuck a fork into the mass. It was served with a piece of bread
that had been in a toasted for a few seconds and served dry and cold.
There was a cup of tepid water and a teabag beside it. I put the teabag
in and it just sat there without the water changing colour at all. One supper was thin round slices of some sort of meat about a cup and a half
of corn niblets. Another day it was a similarly sliced piece of mystery
meat and a pile of boiled green beans.

Excellent. From that experience, I don't know why people complain
about hospital food.

They probably used powdered eggs.
Maybe they did thicken it with wallpaper paste... I've used flour or cornstarch with water in a pinch to hang paper. ;)

I mentioned the horrible food at that last hospital to a friend who has >privileges.
He agreed that they food there was horrible. He said they to
it on purpose to encourage people to go home sooner.

You are probably right with powdered eggs.
Dinner tonight was pot roast, carrots, roasted potato. It was good
enough that I'd order it at a restaurant.

A much better meal than your breakfast! You seem to be in good spirits after your accident. That's good. :)

I'm trying. I won't be walking normally on two legs for six weeks, the
ribs hurt with some small moves, but just laying in bed it good. Just
don't cough. belch, reach too far, etc.
From here, probably some time in the rehab. Going to be a couple of
tough weeks.
