Default What do you do when you can't cook anymore??

Since I've had all these breaks I'm unable to shop for groceries. Have to make a list of everything, in detail of what we need. I can't stand up to chop veggies, can't stand up to cook or even fix myself a sandwich. I need quick easy things that we can eat without a lot of preparation. I use the crutches to prop myself on in the kitchen but it gets old trying to just make the movements you need to fix a cup of tea. One thing in this cabinet, turn around, try to move things from one counter to another. Just gets old, so I've stopped eating as much. My husband is one of those who will fix things for himself that I can't eat, but it's hard to suggest things that are easy enough for him to prepare that both of us can eat.

Today I'm doing the prep for that camera pill test. Liquids all day. Not a problem, I'm not hungry anymore. But what kind of things can be prepared that you can do with minimum effort. And I usually have to make do with whatever is on hand. Husband doesn't see the need to have more food than what we might eat today. And there is only two of us. I can't prepare food in bulk. It's just hard. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have that would make it easier.

Thanks folks,
Billye
