My grandmother’s 2nd day of tremor, weakness and parkinsons treatment
Today I was only able to arrive at my grandmother’s new rest house around 6pm.
I heard last night my grandmother ate 1 raw egg yolk.
I heard this morning she ate 2 hard boiled organic eggs and fried rice. I saw their cooking oil is canola oil. Grrr…. Then she had warm water. That same dirty water they drink from the tap measuring 68 TDS. Grrr…
She was still constipated this morning and resorted to suppositories to lubricate the bottom of her anus, then she listened and drank 2 tablespoons of VCO. Also last night she drank 8 capsules of Barefoot Herbalist MH’s LBBs. She pooped after lunch successfully.
At lunch I heard she had fish in soup and white rice. Grrr…. rice again…. junk stuff.
I called their house and instructed that my grandmother to NOT eat any snack after lunch as I was coming over to feed her my special freshly slaughtered prime sirloin fatty beef all the way from Farmer’s Market in Cubao Quezon City. I even brought my own griller because they had none.
The beef was grilled in less than 1 minute. To the nannie and the maid it was still raw. For me, it was overcooked. At least it smelled good and my grandmother will not suspect it was still raw inside as I sat her in an angle where the food was not well lit. I fed her and used my brand new batangas blade steak knife. The idiot maid was making idiot remarks that the beef was still raw so I loomed over her shoulder and whispered loudly in her ear to “not contradict my healing”. My grandmother’s sister offered her white rice 3 times. I said no. And later on my grandmother was already full from the beef fat I fed her. I asked them if she ate rice for breakfast, they said yes, I asked them if she ate rice at lunch, they said yes… so I slam dunked them that my grandmother does not need any more rice this dinner, she has had enough.
My grandmother liked the seared sirloin beef. I do see a bad habit she does is drinking while eating. She got chilled coconut juice and started drinking while eating. Tsk tsk. She said the beef tasted bland. I said, just eat up more fat, the flavor is in the fat. Hmmmm…. grandma finally tastes pure food. So this is what pure beef tastes like huh? Smells great too. She ate a lot and even wondered if she could digest it all. I said of course you can. Since the beef was seared, smells good outside but raw inside, it will be pretty easy to digest.
What was pleasant to see was when we lit the charcoal, we were walking out the front door, but my grandmother was blocking the way, she was on her walker, she stood up on her own and was walking on her own, without any assistance. So for those impatient that I work miracles, this is miracle number 1 for you.
I made it clear to my grandmother that I was not happy she only ate 2 hard boiled eggs this morning. I told her I wanted 3 egg yolks from her the following morning.
Oh yes, I brought her a lot of nutritious fruits in season. Native guavas are in season and I brought her half a kilo. Her sister said guavas are tops in vitamin C. She’s right. I just hope my grandmother eats them. I brought 1 kilo of ripe carabao mangoes. I brought 1 kilo of ripe indian mangoes. I brought 1 kilo of lagkitan avocado, I brough 1 kilo of orange sweet potatoes, her favorite. I brought her 1 kilo of green ponkan. And I brought in 20 fresh coconuts for her to drink and eat.
I also brought with me a 5 gallon dispenser filled with reverse osmosis purified water. I measured the water in front of the folks there. The TDS reading was 4 TDS, which is much better than the 68 TDS they regularly consume.
There are few myriad details more, stuff I’m too tired to write about. What was important is that I was hands on. I bought all the food. I seared her beef. I cut it up. And I fed her one small piece at a time making sure each bite had a 50/50 piece of fat and meat. I told her dinners like these are what my children scramble for.
Of course after I bought the raw sirloin beef from the market this lunch time. In the car, me and my 2 boys already ate a lot of raw beef while traveling in the car. We had a great raw lunch.
