Cooking and stuff...

flybystardancerJust while I'm thinking about it.
For those of you who use box rice mixes and the like... An easy way to add veggies without screwing things up so the rice doesn't cook is to add frozen veggies at the very last second before you put the lid on to simmer it. This way the veggies steam, but don't affect the cooking of anything else. (I've tried adding corn to stuff before, and had the rice not fully cook.)
And I'm making zatarain's dirty rice for dinner.
We got her in a hospital bed this week, and switched her pain medications to an IV pump in her port. We're still giving her two other medications orally. (One is a pill that does anti-nausea/anti-anxiety, and the other is a liquid that's anti-anxiety/anti-hiccup. We dissolve the pills in the liquid and dose 'em at the same time.) She's got a catheter in so she doesn't have to get up to use the bathroom. (She HATES it. She's trying to get it out, even though she's high as a kite and nowhere near coherent.) She sleeps pretty much all the time. If she wakes up, it's just for like 10 seconds or so.
Even still, she's still fighting.

I'm glad your mom is still fighting. *hugs to you and your family*
