Pred Report

Well it looks like the Prednisone is working pretty well for me. I have been up and around, went downtown yesterday afternoon (in my little car which hadn't been on the road for a couple of weeks, it is terrible in snow) and had coffee with Vince for an hour. Man, it was good to be out with real pants on and see folks going about their normal lives. I don't really have any appetite, but I can eat when it is time. Put down half a Subway yesterday in good order. Thinking hamburgers already today. I feel a little edgy and am awake a bit more in the evening, but only mildly so. If I could get my bowels regulated, I think I would be in good shape. This is, after all, day six and I am headed for a week of no Zeloda. So Pred is a good thing.

There are two home basketball games on campus today and I think that we will be able to go to a portion of them. One of the new problems is that I have lost some of the padding on my butt--sitting on hard benches is different than it used to be. Just realized that if we go to the game, there are hot dogs! Now I haven't tried one of those yet. Note how I seem drawn to the things that I tried not to eat before. I am certainly less concerned about my fats these days. Bring it on!
