[骨盤臓器脱] 入院準備①「ごはん」
Preparation for hospitalization①「meal」
手術を決めたのが５月末で、入院予定日は7月下旬でした。約２ヶ月も準備期間があったのはとてもありがたかった
家のことや子供のこと、退院後のことなどを考えて準備に取り掛かったのでした。
まず一番気になったのがご飯のこと。１週間も家をあけたことなどはなかったので家族にとっても一大事！夫T氏は普段から料理はしないし（たまーに作るパスタだけは美味い）、子供達は中高生とはいえ、たまに朝ごはんのパンを焼くぐらいで…３人とも料理男子に育てておけば良かったなあとつくづく思いました
まず夏休み中ということもあり朝ごはんは食べたい人が自分でやることにしました（納豆、パン、シリアルなど用意しておきました）。食べたくなければ食べなくてよし（笑）。たぶん昼ごはんが一番面倒なので昼ごはんを１週間分作り置きしておこう。
色々調べた結果、冷凍弁当を作ることにしました。弁当箱に全て詰めた状態で冷凍保存し、食べる直前に温めるというもの。弁当箱は使い捨てのレンジ対応のものを用意しました（seriaに3個100円のがありました！）。真夏ということもあって冷凍なら安心でした。入院の１週間前から作るのを開始しました。
あと夕飯の分として作り置きしたのは、野菜の肉巻き、肉じゃが、大根と手羽の煮物、きんぴらごぼう….などなど。それ以外にレンジでチンしたらすぐ食べれる物なども買って用意しておいた。
結果、我が家のメンズたちは…
冷凍弁当は完食したものの、夜は案の定 外食しておかずの作り置きは半分くらい冷凍室に眠ったままだったんですけどね。
The surgery was decided at the end of May, and the planned hospitalization date was the end of July. I was very grateful to have about two months to prepare. I started preparing by thinking about the house, the children, and what to do after discharge. First of all, I was most concerned about food. I had never been away from home for even a week, so this was a big deal for the family! My husband, Mr. T, doesn’t usually cook (except for the occasional pasta he makes, which is delicious), and even though my children are in junior high and high school, he sometimes bakes bread for breakfast. I really wish I had raised all three of them to be good cooks. First of all, since it was summer vacation, anyone who wanted to eat breakfast cooked it themselves (I prepared natto, bread, cereal, etc.). If you don’t want to eat it, you don’t have to (lol). In my experience, lunch is the most troublesome, so I decided to prepare lunch for a week. After doing some research, I decided to make frozen lunches. I packed everything into a lunch box, froze it, and heated it up just before eating. I prepared disposable lunch boxes that were microwaveable (I found three for 100 yen at Seria!). Since it was midsummer, I felt safe to freeze them. I started making this a week before I was hospitalized. For dinner, I prepared meat-wrapped vegetables, meat and potatoes, simmered daikon and chicken wings, and kinpira burdock. I also prepared other dishes that could be eaten immediately by heating them in the microwave. As a result, the men in my family ate out at night, as expected, and these prepared dishes remained in the freezer.
