OK, five days of the intravenous steroids and it seemed to make a world of difference. I mean, my health still isn’t ideal, and my voice is as stained as ever, but I had so much more energy and even my walking is noticeably improved. I’m not like speedy Gonzalez or energy-man or anything but going from say, 20% of normal to 60% or 70% is indescribably. I was glad to have my arm back and not have to worry about the catheter. And there are side effects to such a powerful treatment, like even more difficulty sleeping, but I have enjoyed this respite and the conversion from IV to oral today seems to be going well. I am getting so much done! I have to be careful though; my mind routinely overestimates my physical capacity.
Tomorrow is the big test. Day 2 off the steroids and teaching. Here’s looking forward to it!
