Not eating properly
My wife was always a good cook,and we entertained on a regular basis,however her cooking skills are virtually non-existent.She gets up early and prepares lunch/dinner,but it is always the same,new potatoes cut small,a bit like the way she treats her food,chopped up small,as if feeding a child,frozen peas,which she didn't used to like too much,carrots,and greens,every day the same,I have asked her to leave it to me,as she also makes a cup of bisto gravy granules(chicken variety)to go with every single meal.I have now taken over as much of the preparation and cooking as I can,I try to vary our meals,and always ask her what she would like,I vary rarely get a responsive reply,she just says that would be nice.We have things like fish,steak,gammon,chicken,cooked various ways,she likes curry,which I go out and get for her once a week.But my problem is,she isn't eating it.I discovered that she puts the food in her mouth,chews it into a ball,and then when she thinks I am not looking,she wraps it up in her napkin,and then it is thrown away.So you see it is very difficult to know how much she is eating exactly,I'm at my wits end as to what to give her.We've had a few episodes involving alcohol,that has been banned,she seems to accept this,but has now become addicted to Dry ginger,which she used to drink with scotch,but seems now to be happy to drink it on it's own.I suppose I should be happy that she is off the scotch,but I'm not sure drinking a litre of dry ginger everyday is a good thing.All in all she has lost two stone,from being close to ten stone,she is now under eight.I've been to the doctor,and am awaiting test results of blood and an x-ray.Any thoughts,or advice appreciated.
