80. I am so sorry, KS Toronado.

Sending healing vibes and love to you and your family. You all are in my thoughts.

Fruit smoothies, shakes, ice cream, homemade mashed potatoes--anything that will stay down.

I also love oatmeal with real greek yogurt, fruit, and spices. Nothing better on a cold morning!
