Walking & Ribs

It is not as you may think - walking and ribs are totally separate items. As Greg just said "walking, walking, and more walking". First, there was the bronch this morning, tonight there was dinner at Houlihan's and then we stopped at a small shop that we thought was a candy/nuts shop but it turns out it was more like a dining linens. Either way, Greg walked all around and although his ankles are sore from not being used for a while, he did so well tonight. Oh! And then there was walking around in Walgreens to find unsalted cashews (high protein to repair tissues and muscles, high fat for CF, and no salt so Greg won't gain unnecessary water weight), while we were getting another med for his liver.Now for the ribs . . . are you ready for this??? Greg is back! We went to Houlihan's for dinner and he had a half rack of extra meaty ribs (again, meat is great for protein to rebuild muscles and tissue from the transplant) with some french fries (without the salty seasoning). Man, did he just down it all! He loved every bit of it. The great part is that we were following his transplant guidelines - watched the salt, watched the sugar, had loads of protein, and Greg maintained his CF portion of his diet (high fat, high calorie). Oh! And I forgot the bowl of French Onion Soup that Greg had as well - oh, the look of pure joy on his face! He enjoyed every second of that meal!It is the simplest things in life that bring the greatest joy! God Bless!
