Hi Alan!
Hi sweetheart!
I'm so very happy you were able to get off of the pred - it is brutal but necessary sometimes....
The weight WILL come off. Don't over do it and hurt yourself...I know I'm a HUGE hypocrite but I care about you!
Before you know it you'll be jetting off to see that beautiful grandbaby of yours and hold her for the first time - oh what a feeling!
I am so happy for you!
Love,
Erin
