Fluid Restriction

March 19, 2017

I asked my 84-year-old mother what she would like me to make for dinner. Soup, perhaps?

I have a great recipe for cauliflower and broccoli soup, I said.

‘No, soup is not a good idea,’ she replied. ‘The doctors have told me to watch my fluid intake.’

I gave her a hard look.

She was drinking her second beer at the time.
