Re: Scans/echo today...PRAYERS welcome
Denise - so sorry you've had to deal with the disc problem on top of everything else. And I've been praying hard to hear good news on your scans (along with all the others here). On the steroids - I said the same thing-until I couldn't breathe or walk to the bathroom without stopping for a rest. Now I'm going to be taking 5 mg prednisone for life but it makes life so much better and keeps my little lung problem from progressing. (even though my youngest grandson kissed me one day, then leaned back and said "Nana, you are furry". - just a little extra facial hair from the steroids.) So we do what we must. You have made so many of my bad days better with your spirit and joyous attitude.
