How Does Anyone get Better Here??

Every meal I have had here has been, to put it in a word, awful.  I mean, seriosly, who the fuck can eat this shit?

In the beginning I complained to my therapists, PT, OT and Speech, who always asked, "How was lunch, or dinner?" seemingly making comversation. I didn't realise they were reporting back to the head dietian every word I said!  Then the manager comes to visit me (not once, but twice) and asks how I like the meals --  what am I supposed to say?  That they suck?  No. I tell her that they are a far cry from what I am used to - which is true, and then I further soften it by telling her that I understand that she has to cook on a budget, and I don't expect organic food here, and she has to do what she has to do.

What I didn't say and what I do expect is to get what I ordered from the menu. Oh, how I wish I had kept all of the lunch and dinner daily lists that came with my food. I swear there was a mistake on every single one of them! There were items missing, dishes bearing no resemblance to the real thing, and duplicates. For instance:  pasta salad - fusilli + Italian dressing, or classic green bean casserole - 1/2 cup of just canned poor quality green beans, and glazed carrots  minus the glaze. Fish was always over cooked, and once I had a hot turkey sandwich made with beef instead. Every meal is served on the cold side.


Every.      Meal.


I guess I should have complained more instead of being the nice guy.



Oh well.

Good Day,  TTYL, and Be Well,

P.S.  I got your comments in my in box, but I deleted them after I read them, Perhaps that's why they are not showing up here. Sorry.
