Lunch (and once again I need suggestions)

[Chihlidog]

So, lets hear them. Not sure what I am in the mood for, but preferably something not-too-horrible for me.

[Mark Wein]

You'll be winning today no matter what you get...I'll be eating hospital food ;D

[Phil513]

I dont know about you, but for me today is payday, and i get my sub sammich.

I'll be posting pics, although you guys will be getting ready to go home about then. hahaha.


Is there a chinese place near you? Usually stuff isnt deep fried, and has lots of veggies. We have a place near my home that has and eggplant dish that is awesome.

Hey man, when my wife had Rachel I didnt even get to EAT the hospital food, I had to go look for my own stuff. I dont know if thats how it normally works or what, but yeah, that kinda sucked. What made it even better was that they didnt have one of those full reclining chairs for me to sleep in, and of course there was no room for me to sleep in the bed with her, so I took the normal, non-reclining chair, put my ass on that, vurled up my legs, and put the other half of my body on my wife's bed. That was the most uncomfortable sleep I have ever had in my life. :D

We were at a different hospital for our son and they had a cafeteria....one meal there and I was going down the street to Taco Bell to eat...and I HATE Taco Bell....

This hospital is in a different city and I'll probably be stuck with the cafeteria :(

[Phil513]

You shoulda made a whole batch of Chihli's wings prior, Mark. ;D

Man, I love taco bell when I am in the right mood. :( Believe it or not, there is a hospital cafeteria right near my office here which has really good food really cheap most of the time. That, of course, isnt where we were, and I believe the cafeteria was actually closed a good part of the time we were there, since she went into labor friday night, we were there over the weekend.

[xqqmytude]

I wonder if your wife would kill you if you ordered a pizza to the room? ;D

[Chihlidog]

Heh.....from my experience, his wife would APPRECIATE it as long as it was AFTER the delivery. Dude, with both kids, right after delivery, my wife wanted a double whopper with cheese. :D I With Rachel, I couldnt get to a burger king afterwards so she had to settle for McD's.

Now you remind me >:(

Do you guys have Del Taco there? If you did you probably wouldn't eat at Taco Bell anymore ;D They even have pretty good fast food burgers....

Since we were able to schedule things we did it for 2pm on a Thursday to make life easier....we were there on a Friday night with our son, too :)

[Phil513]

You know Mark, i always thought i'd get flamed for saying this, but yes, Del Taco makes GREAT hamburgers. Srsly.

Actually she will be starving since she can't eat today....I think she can only have fluids afterward, though so yes she would kill me. ;D

They are. Here comes the part where I get flamed.

I like them better than In-N-Out

Is this different with a c-section then? Cause once my wife delivered, she could do whatever she darn well pleased. Any drugs she asked for (she delivered naturally) any food she wanted, etc.

[xqqmytude]

I think I'm going for another spicy chicken sandwich, btw. :D

[Mark Wein]

Yeah...fluids only for the first 24 hours afterward. I was just informed that I could have a pizza in the hospital room, though ;D

[Chihlidog]

Heh. Shes a good woman, then. Thats rough, sitting there not being able to eat but letting your hubby have pizza. My wife would KILL me.

Wow, you are heading toward addiction. ;D

From what I gather, Mark is becoming a daddy today? Congrats on that!

Me too. I would have lost the ability to father soon after becoming a father. I was lucky, though. When Mallory was born, we were in the hospital for a total of 20 hours. In at 11 PM on Dec 29th, out at 7 PM on Dec 31st. I can only pray that the second one goes as quickly and uneventfully, relatively speaking.

Second labors usually go even faster than the first. My wife was only in labor for 3.5 hrs with Rachel. She dropped so fast she had a bruise on her head! :o

[Chihlidog]

Here's lunch. Hummus, with tahini sauce and hot pepper relish, served with warm pita, and some gyro meat.

Not terrible for me, and it is delicious.

[Phil513]

That looks sooooo good.


You are on a greek theme this week eh?

I believe he is Syrian. Mohammed Issa is the owner's name, we've been really cool for a while now. ;D

[JModius1972]

I quite literally felt the saliva valve turn on in my mouth when I saw that picture.

I'm going to have to start bringing better lunches. That's it.

[Denverdave]

Somehow my turkey & cheese sandwich does not quite measure up to that....

My wife



Thanks!

We're having a C section today so the event itself should be relatively quick....

We spent 3 days in the hospital with out son and will probably be 4-5 because of the c section, I would guess...

Wow, man. Thats a long time, I didnt realize that c-sections required that long. You definitely gotta keep us posted, and even though she doesnt know me from Adam, send your my my best wishes and congrats!!!

[Phil513]

I do hope it goes well.


(dont forget your laptop. ;D)

[Mark Wein]

Since a C section is actually surgery I guess they have to make sure everything is OK before they discharge the mother. Its our first one but I was told about 4 days....

Thank you, btw and I will pass that along!
