Prednisone by half

So after a spirited day on Saturday, I split a tablet on Sunday. I am in better control now. It was a good weekend for me. I had a great appetite and felt good. Likely to be a long time until I have a weekend as good. Took advantage of it-- went to church for the first time since Christmas eve. Realized I had never "heard" the choir before, in thirty five years of being in that church. It was a bit surreal. Went to the hospital for lunch (as if I don't see enough of that place) and put down a huge plate of Salisbury Steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. That was about noon.

Still feeling chipper, we made a trip to Fort Wayne to visit Sammy's (another puzzle for you folks) to restock all our paper products, garbage bags, etc., and picked up some things that we thought I might eat over the next month. Not to miss a golden opportunity, we stopped at Cassa Grille (our very favorite Italian Restaurant ever) where I downed a salad, a loaf of bread with dipping oil, and a great Chicago style pizza (actually I just finished it as Monday lunch). And that was about three o'clock. When you have the opportunity, you take it-- my new life plan.

So today is day one of a month-long plan: had my Gemzar infusion and started a week of Zeloda. Next week will be a new experience with just the Gemzar and without the Zeloda. I am encouraged by my reaction to the Prednisone (didn't take any today and likely won't need it tomorrow, as the pre-infusion drugs are pretty good joy juice), hoping that it will give me a helpful boost late in the week which is the toughest time in the sequence. Peace.
