Edited to make it sound less like I was saying that I was sorry that Ginger was better. Glad that you feel better, sorry that you joint pain is back.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My weird respiratory infection is getting better, but I am having the freakiest side effect, which is apparently a known side effect of 2 of the meds (both of which I've used before and NOT had this side effect).
I feel completely...disembodied. Like I am not anchored in my body. Or...like my body isn't mine. Like everything I'm doing is being done by someone else. It's weird as shit (to say the least), and apparently a known possible side effect for prednisone and albuterol. Fortunately I'm almost done with the prednisone. I'm not sure how long I'm supposed to use the albuterol, but I'm starting to space out the doses a LOT more to see if it helps.
So unfair, man. Prednisone has always given me a rush of Superman-like energy and productivity about 3 days into it. But not this time. Now I'm watching my fingers type and they look like someone else's. It felt like a psychotic break until I looked it up. I'm not entirely reassured just because it's a known thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is there a medical term for it, Steph?

Depersonalization. Apparently it can exist as a disorder without a discrete cause (like a medication side effect), like depression, anxiety, etc. But it can also happen as a result of some drugs.
Weird as HELL. Tim went to a haunted house with his BFF last night, and I stayed home because I hate haunted houses, and I was going to take a shower, and realized that if I don't have a good sense of being anchored in my body, I really ought not be standing in a shower with no one else home.
I'm choosing to assume it'll go away as the drugs get out of my system.

You've got your own personal haunted house.
