Intensification

BOOP, Betty Boop and ME

There is no doubt that the effects of the prednisone have become more intense.

My legs hurt and are wobbly. I can barely walk a block. And I sleep more. I drift.

Today, at Father's Day festivities, MyDSD was shocked to see my appearance.

In the street, people avert their eyes.

Early on in this blog, I warned anyone looking for Betty Boop, to look elsewhere.

But the prednisone has changed all that.

And while, my chunky, sagging, engorged cheeks could be just a tad reminiscent of that classically cute babe, my

appearance is still pretty foreboding, as these recent photos can attest. Note the chin under the chin and the pad of flesh below that.

Note the pads on the pads under the eyes.

On the other hand, sometimes as I look into the mirror, unable to tear myself away from the disfigured face, I think perhaps I look like a chipmunk:

And MyKid's contribution to the mix is that he has likened me to a guppy:

And since there's nothing like an interactive website....why don't you pick your fave and vote. Which one do you think I look most like?

Betty?

Chipmunk?

Guppy?
