"I got used to these by mixing in a few ounces of skim milk. I was able to tolerate the chocolate flavors and the strawberry but just could not handle the vanilla. These only have 15g of protein, and when I added the skim milk that ended up being about 16oz. that I had to drink. I just don't think they're worth it when you can get ProBlend or ProScore products that are about 30g or so of protein in 8oz. of water. It's good to know they're out there though in case I run out of BroBlend or ProScore and am without a protein shake while I'm reordering."
"I put Detour, One-Way, and U-Turn all into the same category. I can only eat about half of one at a time which equals about 10g of protein and 150 calories. My favorite is the Detour, followed by the One-Way, then the U-Turn. You better be hungry if you try these because they are very filling! Nutritionally, they are probably best used as a treat, but I'm sure your body must use at least some of the protein. By far the tastiest protein bars out there!"

"Carilion Roanoke Memorial is a teaching hospital so there were LOTS of folks in and out of my room. I didn't mind, because I'm a teacher myself, but I'd bet that some people who are feeling sick anyway would be annoyed with that many folks in and out. (hehe and I was worried about them being understaffed!)
I had a really sweet nursing student assigned to me for most of the week who did a good job. The nursing assistants were great and the nurses were good too, some I liked better than others.
The only seriously negative problem was parking. They are currently building an additional parking garage as the current one is PACKED! Fortunatley we only live about a mile from the hospital so my husband usually just walked. However, I have handicapped grandparents who had difficulty. And circling the parking lot for half an hour did not help my family keep on their "duty" schedule. They were usually frustrated or tired from walking so far by the time they got to my room. Luckily, this is a problem they are already in the process of working on."
