When I was hospitalized last May for colon surgery, my surgeon told me
to get my husband to bring me food. Three meals a day, for the four
days I was in there, starting from the day I got out from surgery.

The hospital food was so bad I couldn't even eat the breakfast stuff.
I think they brought all the meals in from a central location,
resulting in 12-hour old everything. A 12-hour old piece of toast
isn't pleasant.
