Well, the nurse wasn't kidding when she told me that I would get high from the Prednisone. She said that I would feel buzzed on it. Not fully understanding what that meant I can now tell you what it feels like between life with Prednisone vs. life without, well almost without, Prednisone.
When I was taking the five pills /day dosage I felt full of energy and ready to go to work. Today that dosage decreased to 2 pills per day and I can tell you that my tail is dragging! I also feel very groggy so it is hard to stay focused on anything that requires mental thought and clarity. Tomorrow, the dosage will drop again and by Monday I will be off it until the next go around of Chemo. It was nice to feel like my old self again but I will be glad when I can have that same feeling without the use of drugs.
Other than that I don't have anything to complain about. I am home with Brian today and get to spend some time with him- which I am glad to have. We both admit that having each other to hold is a wonderful feeling. That is the natural high as it should be found! I am glad that he is so patient with me when I get so uptight. Fortunately, I don't get that way very often.

I'm so glad that you and Dad have each other! What a big support you are for each other! I hope you continue to do well with Chemo - and I am so grateful that you chose to fight the Lymphoma (although I know it won't be an easy battle) - I would have been devastated if you had chosen 'flight.' We love you so very much!
