For the first three weeks after the diagnosis I was not allowed to use a computer or a phone. I could not even watch TV. I was only allowed to sleep or take a walk if I felt good. The first couple of weeks were hard. The following weeks were better as I learned how to pace myself. I realized that my body was quite adept at letting me know when it had had enough.

Italian Cream Soda

Aaaah, Summer is finally stopping by and I'm feeling so warm and fuzzy inside that I felt that I should have a drink that was as equally yummy.

Recipe

Pour 2 ounces of Torani Italian syrup flavor (I use orange but they come in all varieties such as cherry, raspberry, vanilla etc.) into a pitcher.

Add 2 ounces of half and half cream and
8 ounces of club soda (you can use sparkling water if you prefer)

Mix ingredients together and pour into a glass that is half filled with ice.

Garnish with an orange wedge (and a cherry if you love them like I do and find any excuse to use them).

If you really want to get fancy you can also add a scoop of whipped cream on top!

  • Enjoy!!
