Breaking fast is not always about break-fast. Today was about nausea. And then feeling better and eating. We had our 8:30 am appointment at the IPOP (in patient/out patient clinic at the hospital). Today was officially the first day of recuperation (between the first phase of induction-inducing remission- and the second phase is a two to three week recuperation). Pretty much every day will involve going to the hospital, being tested, being given various intravenous solutions, and slugging through.
Today started at the hospital with some nausea and then again mid-day. All despite anti-nausea drugs. Fortunately Sue felt better after some sleep (she didn't sleep well last night). And she was able to eat a fruit salad and latter during the Yom Kippur ending breakfast. Right now we are just chilling out with the television on.

The weekend was OK, lots of sleep during the day. Dave came down after dropping Edison (his dog) in Princeton. Dave and I walked around Fells Point. Had a nice lunch at Bonaparte (cafe) except for the "pigeon" incident.

Sue has been reading the comments on the site and thanks all.

Pigeon flew in the open door of the cafe (very clean and proper cafe). The pigeon tried to get out through the closed windows and obviously failed. Giving up it perched over one of the tables. The manager, very prim otherwise, started trying to brush/scare the pigeon back through the door. No luck and it even flew to the beam above our table. As the manager came closer to our table with the broom held high over her head, I asked that she not.... too late and I quickly shifted my seat and covered the coffee cup as she whacked at the beam above us.
It wasn't until the manager gave up that the pigeon found its way out.
