How would you handle it?
How about responding, "don't worry, I'm one step ahead of you," and wave the skewers that are already in your hand or gesture toward the butter already on the table. With time, and your pointing out gently that you've already done what she is asking, maybe she will learn to trust you to be competent.

Jbug, I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you get to go home. You sound very ready to be on your own again! Hope the doctor thinks you are healed enough to be on your own.
