my mother-in-law's list of foods i can't eat is longer than my doctor's

mint_pool_9145

the doctor gave us half a page. sensible stuff. the home list is two pages now and keeps growing: papaya obviously, but also brinjal, curd after sunset, anything 'heaty', and as of yesterday, cold water my partner is home on a break this year and has become the enforcer. i'm mostly amused. mostly

    Did your doctor give it in writing? Handing over the printed sheet ended more arguments for us than any explanation did.
