My husband has a stomach virus and I am still in recuperation mode from my surgery. I hate walking like a toddler. I feel better unless I move. I know that sounds funny, but it's true. Now, he is sick and will be home tomorrow.

I need food, but we are both to tired to go food shopping. It is strenuous and I hate the food store. I wish I could just live on fruits and nuts but I need soap and things like that. I hate to ask for help, but I may need to. Thanks for listening.

Can you order in for a few days? The nice thing about venting on Gather is that Gather pays to hear you vent.

I remember about 15 years ago when I had a stomach virus, and my mother had just had surgery on her foot, and my poor sister had to come in and do EVERYTHING!!!! LOL

I hope you feel better soon and your daughter brings you some food. Otherwise I suggest frozen dinner. When I got out of the nursing home rehab and my right arm was in a sling and my left leg was shattered (two operations) and I was in a wheel chair unable to walk, the person who was going to help me in the afternoons didn't. So I was able to get out of the lift chair with and pivot to the wheelchair and get to the kitchen to microwave some lunch. With a tray in my lap, I could get myself back to the living room. I was afraid to be home alone, but it worked okay. I was always afraid at night I would "forget" but being in a hospital bed with bars kept me from "forgetting"... Just be very careful.

You might want to see if you can borrow a wheel chair, and take less risk moving around the house. I bought one and still have it and use it when I need to.

I forgot to say I microwaved some dinners for myself. It was easy with one hand vs fixing other kinds of food... doing things one handed isn't easy.

I'm so sorry Carol. Ask for help and give yourself time to heal.

I just may have to do just that.

Sorry to hear that your hubby is not doing well. Ordering in for a while might be best for you

Thanks for posting to Point Taken. Hope you had a great weekend!

Hope you and your hubby both recuperate quickly. Hope you're able to get someone to shop for you if you end up needing it.
