Got my breakfast tray from Dietary while I was on the way to make a comfort stop.
Lifted the cover from the plate when I got back from the comfort stop. Found the bowl of oatmeal and the sausage patties I had ordered.
First speared my sausage patties on my fork and ate them. Next thing I took on was the bowl of oatmeal. Flavored and sweetened it by stirring in a small cup of cinnamon crumbles I found on my tray and a packet of Splenda. Then, I spooned the oatmeal in my mouth.
Last thing I had was a glass of orange juice. Removed the cover from the juice glass, picked it up using both hands, and drank it.

Dietary at the nursing home didn’t do a very good job following my breakfast order. I had scrambled eggs on the plate, which I will not eat. I also had a mug of hot coffee, which I will not drink. I also ordered bacon, but got sausage instead.
What I did have for breakfast was sausage, toast, and a glass of orange juice.

Clinician at the nursing home said there was a good chance of going home this week. At home, I probably won’t contribute to the thread because I only eat lunch and supper at home. But there is a chance I can start eating breakfast at home. I want to get a walker with a basket on it so I can easily carry things. Medicare will pay for it.
I have two walkers without baskets in the house.

More reheated (microwave) leftover chicken parm.
Good news that you may get sprung, Sneakers! Hopefully you can arrange for the basket equipped walker quickly. No way to rig something on one of the existing walkers in the meantime?

My breakfast tray from Dietary got messed up today.
They gave me the toast and the omelet I ordered, but they gave me a mug of hot coffee, some thing that I Will not drink. Instead of the orange juice that I ordered.
I first speared up the toast with my fork, then I bit chunks off of it from my fork.
Next spooned up chunks of omelet with my spoon and put them in my mouth.

Went the long way to get sprung. Last Tuesday, during physical therapy, I had a seizure. Got back out of acute care hospital Saturday afternoon and went back to short term rehabilitation facility to be released there. No way I can think of to put a basket on the existing walkers. My cell phone died in the hospital, I have its replacement but can’t figure out how to put the SIM card in it. I’ll call Verizon TechCoach probably this morning. Until I get a basket, I will have to have somebody able bodied carry things for me because I will have both hands on the walker.

Will be sprung tentatively the 29th of December. Spent Thanksgiving Day in the short-term rehabilitation facility. Looks like I will also be in the rehabilitation facility for Christmas Day. If my housemates do like they did on Thanksgiving, they won’t get done eating until after they lock the doors to the rehabilitation facility and I will be asleep.

Bacon and a cheese, onion and bell pepper omelette, and a Popeyes biscuit with honey. Good luck getting out on the 29th, Sneakers. Sorry to read about the setback, but maybe better to have that happen there than at home?
As for the walker, having used one fairly briefly after surgeries some time ago, what if you took a plastic grocery/shopping bag and tied the "handles" around a cross bar, leaving enough slack that you could put some stuff (that wouldn't spill) in the bag? If it was a plastic grocery bag, tie it in a knot and you could just cut it off it need be. Not ideal but might be workable until you can get a walker with a basket.
