25 mgs and Counting

Yesterday, as part of the weaning process, I started taking 25 mgs of prednisone.

The significant changes thus far include a new tolerance for coffee. The taste of coffee (decaf) was so bitter, it was unbearable since I started taking the prednisone. But over the past few days I actually drank a few cups and enjoyed it.

Also, while the wrinkles are coming back as the swelling subsides, there is no weight loss yet according to the scales. Dr. A. indicated that losses could begin next week, when I drop down to 20 mgs. a day.

Most likely, the August postings will be short, now that MyKid is finished with camp and there are three of us at home, all day. There are many more distractions and demands on the adults' time.
