Thanks, you guys are great. I think I just hate showing that weak side when I cry, I want to be stoic, you know?

I'm not sure why the dr didn't want me to do ivsm, but I'm actually kind of glad. I always have such a bad reaction to it, ie... weight gain, emotions, stuff like that. I hope the oral pred works. It would be kind of nice to stop falling into walls.

He also signed the paperwork for me to get a handicap placard for my car. <sigh> I was trying to hold off on that one for a while, but it's here now. I know I need it if I want to remain independent.
