Patch,
Sorry to hear you're not up to snuff...
Steroids are like two sides of a coin...the good side takes the sxs down, but the bad side makes you feel like c$#p for a while.

Take it one day at a time. If your kids are young enough, have your DH go to a craft store and buy some popsicle sticks, glue, glitter and feathers and have them make stick puppets and put on a puppet show. It will keep them busy all day.
If they're older, let them do the chores around the house. Give them lots of hugs and appreciation for helping you out when you don't feel so well.

Good luck, and let us know how you're doing...
