Another major milestone was reached today. I fired up my trusty espresso machine. For the past week or so I have tested the waters with some cappuccino's from my favorite coffee shop. Those have gone down without a problem so I purchased some fresh roasted espresso beans from the same coffee shop and today I brought Miss Silvia out of retirement.
For those of you that don't know I am a bit of a coffee addict. In particular espresso. I have a Rancillo Silvia, aka Miss Silvia, home espresso machine that can make with the proper grinder and fresh roasted beans shots of espresso just like you get at a coffee shop and in some cases (say... Starbucks) much better. (Yep... you can just feel the espresso snobbery. :-))
The picture above isn't my specific machine but the grinder shown and bean storage container are the same as I have and this is pretty much what my set up is like. Now I can combat fatigue the traditional way, with caffeine.
Another Milestone
I did also reach another milestone today. Today I started the drug to help with saliva production. Its a pill I have to take 3 times a day. The pills are pretty small, 0.3 inches in diameter, so I thought I would give swallowing them a try. The test was wildly successful and swallowing these pills with water was not a problem. This is great news because crushing up pills and putting them through the PEG tube gets real old fast. One of my hesitations on going on this medicine was having to take 3 additional pills through the PEG tube. Being able to just pop one in my mouth and take it with a glass of water is a huge step forward.
