Thanks, everyone!

I started taking the steroids yesterday morning (I think it's prednisone), and I CANNOT believe the difference in one day! I was really worried about taking them, since I had such a problem with the Decadron with chemo. My husband had already tried to reassure me that they are two very different "drugs" and that the doses are lower with these.

I am going to try to light walking this afternoon, and am going to bring home a stretch ball from my store. They are really for pregnant and nursing mothers, but it should work for me, too! Plus, I have already paid for it. LOL

Have a wonderful day, everyone.
