Story
Ruth & Gregg have spent their lives helping others. It’s time to help them. Ruth has spent quite a bit of time in the hospital lately and is not yet up to cooking and food prep. She needs a renal diet. I have listed components of a renal diet below. Anything is helpful, and I know the restrictions can be daunting. Ruth & Gregg aren’t picky, so let’s keep Ruth healthy.
