to be lying in my hosp bed eating choc?

[giraffesCantZumba]

its too hot to sleep. Plus ladies around me are snoring. Starving because didnt eat much dinner due to pain. Choc helps pain

YANBU and you are allowed not to get up and brush your teeth. Hope you go home soon.

As long as it's milk chocolate. Milk is a great spice of calcium. And it has protein. And cocoa beans are a fruit so it's one of your 5 a day (more for fruit & nut, obviously). Plus everyone needs a bit of fat in their diet. Not to mention the antioxidants and the happy chemicals.
You should probably get them to prescribe you it on your drug chart.

[giraffesCantZumba]

its minstrels so they are practically tablets! Bet as soon as they wake us us I start to get tired!

[QuietTiger]

Chocolate is a recognised food group.

IIRC, it's also used by the nurse-witch in Harry Potter to fix ailments and that's a work of fact, not fiction, so you are actually helping yourself get better more quickly by eating a cure for your ailment. Like bagelmonkey says, you should get them to prescribe it as a medication.

::nods wisely::

[APieOfButter]

me and a gang of mentals all just had a past midnight feast for that exact reason :)

[LordOfTheFlies]

Dark chocolate is practically a health food because its got minerals and vitamins in it.

Actually that's a lie, but it has got more iron .
And if it's Green and Black,then even better.

But won't it melt in the hot ward?

Then you'll get nasty smeary marks on your sheets and the nurses will 'tut' at you and give you a cold bedbath.

[giraffesCantZumba]

minstrels dont melt cos of the shell! Staying in another night glad still got most of a packet left!

[Onemorning]

YADNBU. IIRC it produces feel-good hormones. That means it must help you feel better.

Get well soon :)

[LoveBeingAbleToNamechange]

Yanbu I remember eating a choc brownie at 2am cause I couldn't sleep in mat ward. Was the only good thing about my stay, oh and dd of course!

[giraffesCantZumba]

[RoyalWelsh]

[SecretNutellaFix]

[PamBeesly]

Giraffe do you know when you will be out? You seem to be in for a long time for your tonsils, how are you feeling now?

[giraffesCantZumba]

[giraffesCantZumba]

[PamBeesly]

When I was in hospital with my tonsils they used to make me eat salt and vinegar stick crisps to 'heal' the stitches it just stung like mad...don't be duped into that one but toast is ok :) Hope you feel tip top soon

[giraffesCantZumba]

[Punkatheart]

Get better soon and of course chocolate is a good idea. Chocolate is ALWAYS a good idea.

[ItDoesntBodenWell]

As long as you haven't just had a gastric band?

[PinotsKittens]
