recommended diet for post transplant and elderly

as you know caloric intake is broken down by food and drink components: carbohydrates, protein, fat, and alcohol. the recommended diet is low protein, low fat, low carbohydrate and little or no alcoholic products. so that leaves what? water! large amounts of water is good - they say. of course you might starve to death but you will at least have avoided a more painful death. i'm glad i have cheered you up today.

think i'll have a pizza and beer for lunch. that's healthy. isn't it?

**********************************************************************************************

as i recover at home the circumstances and attitudes change:


" did you take out the garbage?"
"not yet"
"well walk the dog?"
"we don't have a dog."
"well take a walk anyway."
"groan - bye."
"THE GARBAGE!!!"
"okie dokie."
