I don't know the laws and stuff by where you live, but I'm pretty sure in NY if you spend more than 5 days in hospital and have to endure an upper GI series you get to take your favorite 2 nurses home for two days.
Check with the hospital and see if they have that rule!!!

Well OK maybe I made it up but if the really cute nurses weren't too bright maybe they'd believe it was a law. Always worth a try.
Hope you are home soon and eating whatever you like the best.
