Can you stomach some hot tea with milk and too much honey?

Hang in there, Char, the liquid will leave and the bloating will subside. Your orders to rest are still in place and they don't yield to our desires to do other stuff, even on holiday weekends! Remember, we talked about the false sense of energy and the inevitable crash and burn??????

The roids will take another week or so to do their thing and I strongly urge you to put anything and everything you possibly can on hold for now.

It sucks, I know, but please believe me when I tell you that months and months of it feels a lot worse!
