Starbucks today, but no coffee

Hi all
It is so good to be out of the hospital. Rick needs to eat a lot of protein and his brother got the idea to bring him lots of packages of salmon and a George Foreman grill. Crazy idea - and now we are cooking every meal on the grill! Who knew it could be so easy to grill salmon?

Rick is making great progress - eating and sleeping well. He still is very weak and he is taking so many drugs that make him light headed, sleepy, and nauseous (they all say that on the label). Often he thinks he can't go for a walk, but once I get him up and going, it is hard to stop him. This morning I convinced him to take the elevator, walk out of the building, and go to the Starbucks (which is the very next door) to buy a newspaper. He is limited to one liter of fluid a day and every ounce is supposed to have calories, so he hasn't been drinking coffee. The papers were sold out, but instead of heading back to the apartment, Rick just kept walking and circled the entire city block! It is cold and damp out, but he smiled through the entire walk and wasn't out of breath at all. He may be thin, but he is still very strong and once he discontinues some of these medications I think he will feel so much better.

Thanks for all your calls and good wishes.
Sue
