Hi,
Well your situation is different and understandable. If it is an option for you to hire a cook/housekeeper then maybe she or he would be willing to make several meals that could be frozen. So you do have will power if you can stay off pain meds. But being inactive probably leads to the food cravings . A rock and a hard place for sure.

I’d like to know if your family owned or ran a bakery too.....how interesting.

I remember root beer floats...wow and an orange drink and hot dog with relish at Coney Island...Eggcream sodas.....and the first White Castle hamburgers.....the best things ever back then....and those little wax bottles that were filled with liquid...use to chew the wax and spit it out.....and a bottle of Pepsi with a whole sleeve of Ritz crackers while reading the latest Nancy Drew book....omg I need a snack.....

Stay well....FL Mary
