If I know I'm going to be in hospital I bring my own salt & pepper. Sodium does not affect my blood pressure - contrary to conventional medical thought. But try orfering a tasty meal when the kitchen has been instructed that you are on cardiac, diabetic and renal diets. Talk about severely limited lists pf choices.

Just came home from a couple of days in hospital after doing a face plant on the way to the loo or relieve my bladder. My brother saud I looked as if I had gone 10 reounds with George Foreman in boxer mode not grill mode. They tested me for stroke, cardiac, etc. and finally settled on having too much CO2 in my blood gasses. Now I have to get used to sleeping with a Bi-Pap machine. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwich - Mark II Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads Yield: 2 Servings 2 (1/4 lb ea) pork patties 2 (1/4 lb ea) Italian sausage - patties 6 sl Bacon; cooked crisp 2 sl White cheese 2 sl Onion; thick 2 sl Beefsteak tomato 2 Lettuce leaves 2 (6") hamburger buns; toasted Mayo, ketchup, mustard, hot - sauce, etc. Fry the bacon first and reserve. Use the bacon fat to fry the patties if using a stove-top grill pan. Cook the patties using a George Foreman contact grill or a stove-top grill pan. Toast the buns on your wide-slot toaster (or a toaster oven). Build the sandwich with a lettuce leaf and a slice of onion on the bottom of the bun. Top that with a sausage patty, then a slice of cheese (I used Havarti which worked nicely), a pork patty, a tomato slice, any condiments you would like, three slices of bacon and the second half of the bun on top. Serve with a side of fries or Tater Tots. Makes 2 servings Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
