Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I miss humid. That was nice.
The hospital has had the same menu every time I've been here. Nothing is ever tempting. But right now it's so massively appalling I'm on my umpteenth fruit plate. FRUIT PLATE.
Everyone's all "your blood sugar's really great". No shit, Holmes.
FRUIT PLATE.
I think I need to carry around a "low glycemic" fun kit just like I usually (but not now because I swapped bags and am an idiot) carry around an "unsweetened drink" fun kit--with my favourite teas and citrus powders. But if I had my cookies and blueberries and coconut palm sugar, at least there'd be more appearance of variety (I had the first two, but finished both a while back). Melted cheese on demand would be amazing magic too.
FRUITE PLATEE.

Because books.
Yeah, the bird thing is an additional confusion.
Melted cheese on demand would be amazing magic too.
Is there an orderly you can bribe to get you a grilled cheese from the cafeteria?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The last time my grandmother was in the hospital for her heart, my mother told them about her throat thing, so she only got ground meals. And no salt. That was fun for her.

Just one foot. It's tucked into the crook of my knee to warm it up. My body is weird. I'm pretty sure I bruised the balls of both my feet the last couple of nights in the pool. Doing the same thing I do every day. I don't even know.
The baby robin was fun to hold. But pigeons are much more substantial and muscular. t /literal

Since the room service seems totally okay with delivering cold toast I am not going to ask them to violate a grilled cheese on my behalf. I don't want that on my conscience or my tongue.
Their fruit plates aren't as bad as you'd expect, but it's ridiculously hard to get a constant supply of tea. Like, once they brought two tea bags instead of one. If I didn't have my travel mug it'd be a pain on the tech staff too as I bothered them for hot water.

I've always been amazed at the lack of food diversity in hospitals. Even when it is the food court/hospital food service kitchen shared by the spendy new HYOOOGE Childrens and oncology complex in Birmingham, which is on the downtown UAB campus. Tons of donors and froo-froo stuff and yet the food court is teeny and uninspired. Hell, there's only one Starbucks in there and no other coffee shop in two huge, sprawling buildings. Now granted, plenty of good places to find food and drink nearby, walkable even, but if you can't stray far, lame.
And don't even try to find anything filling at Sinai here. And Ft Hood Hospital? The hospital for the largest army base in the US? After 7, vending machines only. The grilled cheese was...recognizable?
