Thumbs up THank goodness!

Alan,

I am so happy for you! I was told by my onc that steroids would cause muscle weakness in the beginning - in fact, I got stuck on a chair shortly after starting them........really embarrassing!

It is getting better! IV IG always makes me feel great! I'm on my 3rd day and plan on feeling amazing by Friday!

They make me wear a mask @ the hosptial for the my whooping cough...........the scary thing is that I look healthier than anyone else here!

I'll bet it is beautiful there with the snow! I would love to see some! How cozy! Add that and a big cup of tea and that is my definition of a perfect day............

Can't wait to hear from you!!!!

Erin
