LAKEVIEW, N.Y. We re always told to appreciate the small things.
In 50-year-old Tim Pike s case, it s something many of us don t even think about. What I miss the most is drinking more than 30 ounces of fluid daily, Pike said.
He s limited to about a scoop of ice cream or a glass of water. It s one of the many ways Pike s life has changed since he got pneumonia almost three years ago and the side effects put him into kidney failure.
