Managed to convince ol’ girl that she needs to go too. So perilously close to needing intervention because of weight, but having some moderate success with some pretty dense soups. No where near enough though. She’s off to see another dietitian (3 different concurrent ones now) next week. Having to get these people up to date is tiring as it changes daily.
Have to say it’s pretty demoralising her cracking the shits blaming me for things all the time, and it’s random. If something goes wrong (anything from hearing aids not fitting to buying the wrong sort of pastry), I’m first in the firing line. I can take it but it’s painful to watch.
The weird thing is that traditionally always been closer to ol’ girl than ol’ boy, now he’s sitting there watching me cop all the shit in real time and he’s confused on how to react lol. What used to happen if there was a disagreement (about banal shit), he’d crack it at me. Now everything is on its head and upside down it’s very odd.
Anyway will be good to knock over the last of the weeds down there. Won’t be much of an escape but at least a change of scenery for a few days.
Yea lots of cream and cheese going in. New soupmaker is turning out to be very good as it blends things down to a very smooth consistency very quickly. Also cutting the fat off anything I can find and chucking it in lol. Next step is to dump tasteless protein powder in as well and see if she notices. I don’t really like doing that (putting stuff in people are unaware of) but any more weight loss she’s looking at problems.
In terms of copping it it’s fine. Sort of to be expected I suppose.
Off to the Bellarine today.

Man that sounds like a hard time, but the fact you’re still there and supportive speaks volumes.
Try to get some time to yourself just to relax as well yeah?
Cream or sour cream garnish on soup might add some more calories?
Sorry to hear you’re copping it, that’s not fair

There’s a site called Bulk Nutrients that might have something. Also consider adding bacon grease.
It’s not great. She’s probably frustrated and scared, and malnutrition makes a person extremely shirty. I just hope she calms her farm
You’re doing a cracking job. Enjoy the sunshine and the rewards of your efforts that work! Maybe she needs some aeroguard too?
With the way you describe all this your patience is boundless. It must be tough to go through all this, but you’re doing a great job.
