Daniel, that's perfect. Thanks!
Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I slept terribly too, but that was because of weird dreams and Mr. Jimmy the cat. I got up and I finished my knitted tote bag! I just have to felt it and get some handles for it. It's my first attempt at using 2 colours so I'm chuffed. I took pictures and will post in lj soon.
Pretty sure the myopathy is back. It shouldn't hurt that much to walk around the block to CVS. That's not overdoing it.
Popping some painkillers and being very thankful that I only have two more days on the steroids.
Sweet! A's one-hit the Mariners.
I know! First time the M's have been held to 2 or fewer hits in consecutive games. I was scared to check because you never know with Zito anymore.
We've been "watching" the games on broadband in the early mornings. It's weird, and almost entirely unlike baseball.
~ma for your dad, Spidra. I'm sure the surgery will be fine, so the ~ma is mostly for recovery-coping skills.
that the conundrum of prednisone. It's such a "miracle" drug but often the side effects are just as bad as the problem they are prescribed to cure. My sister has colitus and when she was first diagnosed she was on predinsone for about 8 months. I don't think she got myopathy but she did gain 60lbs.
Oh, ugh, Megan. I gained about 20 in the month I was on it about two months ago. Fortunately this is a really short course. Hopefully it will work, and I can be off it again.
*fingers crossed*
I've been on a few short courses of prednisone (for nasal polyps) and one longer course (when I got Ramsay-Hunt syndrome/Bells palsy) and I'm not anxious to do it again. It's the ravenous hunger that's the worst. I tried to eat fruit and veggies but nothing quelled the hunger like grease!
Just as long as I don't get a yeast infection on top of all this. That was SO miserable.
{{{vw}}} I hope that the symptoms go away soon.
{{vw}} Only 2 more days. The prednisone talk is scary.
I took a nap around 7 last night and that was it. Was tired. My face still is awful, but rested now. My always weird and entertaining dreams are lost to me when I awake.
Still sad about passing on the trip to St. Louis, but I likely would have been very uncomfortable.
So I figure now Anne has to go to SF since I missed seeing her at home. I am so looking forward to the F2F. So many people I will love to see again, and so many people I get to meet for the first time!
Spidra! Much healing ~ma for your dad. Easy surgery ~ma, and some Listening to Doctor ~ma thrown in. That’s not at all what I was going for when I offered you distraction ~ma yesterday. I really should have been more specific.
