Thank you everyone for the warmest of wishes!!!! I had blood taken yesterday again and it went really well. My counts were really good, and we are lowering the steroids just a bit this week. I still have a few doors to sand and stain so I don't want to come off the steroids too quick - lol! My house truly looks amazing.

Dana - my son graduated last year. He finished his first year with a 3.96 (love to brag).

Bill - Thanks again! Hope your getting out and doing lots of fun stuff...

Jackie - I really don't understand the steroid thing. There are so many different types. I'm not getting muscle, I am loosing it. The falls I take are really weird. It's like I have no muscle for a quick second and I'm down on the ground???? I have the little extra hairs growing on my chin, but I am Greek too...

On a funny note, I'll tell you about one of my falls. Every morning my dog and I walk to the pool and then sit on the swing and just have quite time together. Last week, I wanted to flush the filter so I pulled out the hose and started dragging it to the pool. It got snagged so I pulled harder, stepped back and my dog was under my feet....I filled up in the air flat, like Charlie Brown would do. I landed flat on my back, with the hose running all over me and the dog in my satin pj's. I swear my dog was laughing! I was laughing and we rolled around in the water for a while. I am sure it looked as funny as I felt!
