HOOKED ON STARBUCKS
April 11, 2016
By Olivene Godfrey
I was never a true coffee lover until Barry introduced me to Starbucks brew, and I was "hooked".
Recently, my primary care doctor prescribed a new breathing nebulizer treatment. It works wonderful but makes me extremely nervous. That medicine along with the caffeine in my coffee was too much for my nervous system.
I had been drinking coffee only on weekend mornings and could handle that. But, I enjoyed it so much I started drinking a large cup every morning. And then I thought I would need to cut out the coffee.
As Barry has said, I am 88 years old and I have very few things I can enjoy any more. So, he bought me a bag of caffeine free Starbucks coffee. I tried a cup Sunday morning and liked it. So far my stomach or nerves haven't bothered me.
Several years ago, I started drinking Gatorade in the mornings for my IBS. Then, Barry had trouble locating the flavor I like. I tried different ones and one recent day it caused me to be nauseated, and I vomited. Barry searched and found the one I like. They are only available in a large size. So, he bought two small water bottles. He will fill them for me as needed and keep them in the refrigerator. I hope they will solve the problem.
Barry is such a good son and I tell him there must be a special place in heaven for people like him.
See you next time. Comments welcome. (Edited and typed by Tam.)
