I drink mostly coffee. My last treatment, I drank coffee, but not as much as home. I did bring my Nespresso machine not wanting to risk bad coffee lol. I was dehydrated, needed IV infusions. Blood transfusion, even though I have a tube, and was staying at hope lodge by myself, traveled to and from treatments, had to shop, cook, clean, do laundry, get medicines by myself. Not what I invisioned. Most, at least 95% had caretakers with them. Statistics say single men don't fare as well. I agree lol. I knew I was in trouble when I walked a block to get something to eat, could barely walk back, and knew I was in trouble even before I started.
