call Meals on Wheels
then let him fend for himself
of course the worry will be he will expect Olâ Girl to cook once sheâs back home

Yep.
The problem is she can only eat soup, which he wonât eat. Expecting her to cook 2 different things in recovery is just not reasonable. She wants to be seen that sheâs cooking (as weird as that sounds) but sheâs increasingly making poor decisions in the kitchen.
The expectation that she cooks for him has been there for decades and itâs pretty much dangerous now (hot liquids / poor eyesight / weak etc.).
Made a whole bunch in the last few days so sheâll be fine. Just pisses me off there hasnât been an effort by olâ boy.

Is it possible that she could stay with someone during her recovery from major surgery and/or palliative care to protect her from this?
This is really not a safe or reasonable expectation - especially if heâs able bodied and simply considers the job beneath him.
