Pill's, pills and more pills
Things are going fine. The steroids are working a bit but certainly have not gotten rid of all the balance problems. My arms and legs are getting quite bruised. I tend to lean to the right when walking. I tend to lean right into door frames, furniture and other things that get in my way when I need a little more space.
I have started my pill regime last week and I'm back on chemo as of yesterday. Everyday I now take 18 pills except Monday and Thursday. Those two days I take 20. Most of them need to be taken with water and food but each dose is separate. A lot of keep track of. All these little meals with the pills will certainly help put on the pounds. Urgghh!
The weight has started to gain. Up 5 pounds so far. Not too happy about that but I know it will come back off again.
Jessica is in camp this week so I have some extra time to myself. I put in about 8 hours a night sleeping but tend to be up 4 or 5 times in that period. Could be all that water that I have to drink! I still like to have a lay down in the afternoon so that I have some energy to keep me up till 9 pm.
That is all that is new.
Enjoy the sun!!

Hey Girl,
I know it's easy for everyone to say, but PLEASE don't fret about the steroid weight. You know that is what it is, and like you say, it will come off again. I'm sure it will seem more worth it when you get more symptom relief and better balance.
Take care and try to get some extra rest while Jessica is busy at camp. We're thinking of ya.
