Ham, turkey, bacon and avocado. I would say it will pair very well with a nice box or jug of red wine, although I chose lemon lime Gatorade and water.😀

When hospitalized several years ago (traffic accident - broke some stuff) hospital staff kindly queried if I had any food preferences (standard procedure). I replied: "All OK, no exceptions but it would be nice if you could arrange for
doubling the dessert". And so all meal stickers during my hospital stay indicated dessert × 2. My beloved wife wasn't surprised when she found out.
Speaking for myself: in general, nurses took extra good care of me, walking the extra mile with a smile and kind words (including sometimes strictly private conversations), day and night. Noticed that on many occasions throughout my hospital stay.
Genuine respect and a positive mindset about the vulnerable situation can help making your stay more comfortable,
