Swallowing = Good; Taste Buds = Discriminating

Mom eats 3 or 4 bites of each meal. She then pronounces the meal a distasteful mess, and does not eat more. She is skinny. I'm hoping exercise will increase her appetite. Doctors have threatened to resume feeding her through her still-in-place stomach tube. She says that is fine, adding defiantly:
"I'd rather you do that than force me to eat this food."

Mom can only eat soft food. I've brought in food from the outside, then mashed it up. She didn't like that,either. I brought in a milk shake. She didn't like that. Maybe her taste buds need an adjustment period. Or, maybe she's become a food snob late in life, and will only eat 5-star cuisine. Calling Grady Spears.
