Hi everyone!
I think you are right Annie, the redness and swelling must have to do with the Pred. I know I've never experienced anything like it before going on the drugs and now I'm like a furnace with clown cheeks! Today we had a fire drill at the school and everyone was whining about how cold it was to be out with no coat on but I felt completely comfortable.

Erin, so jealous of the concert - sounds like it would have been great. You should move to Scotland - as long as you don't mind rainy days. It would be quite an adjustment from Texas!

Take care everyone!

Hey there! Still loving the new school?

The concert was FABULOUS - what I saw of it @ least! I loooooove Elton John and Billy Joel! I did feel bad b/c Mike left, but I was feeling pretty yucky and barely made it up the stairs!

I would love to move to Scotland! O have never been there, but my family has and says it is gorgeous! As it is, we have to find somewhere to go during the summer or I will be a crazy shut in! LOL!

I'm gonna set up an office from home and get lots of work done b/c I go stir crazy when I'm here - that and guilty for not getting more done.........

I can relate to goig out in the cold and people looking @ me funny b/c I'm not wearing a jacket - anything warm and feeling GREAT! MY face just balloons to where my eyes are almost swollen shut by the time I get home if I get in ANYTHING above 70 degrees - I was always so cold before.....

Are you still swimming? How are you feeling?

Can't wait to hear from you!

Ugh! Cankles - I SO know what you mean. I used to have pretty good legs, athletic and heathly looking. Now they are marred by stretch marks and it's like a big tube of fat that follows down from my hips.

Anyways, the new school is fantastic and I'm still swimming twice a week. I even taught a kid how to swim last week. It was a great feeling to watch her swim without armbands for the first time.

My Mom and Dad are hear for a visit and we have a two-week holiday at Easter so that's great. The weather here has been sunny, but cold by Scottish standards (freezing by yours I'm sure). It's been about 53 ish during the day and cooler at night. The wind can be quite cutting. I haven't forgotten about you wanting to get some photos of castles etc (I'm going to try to get some up on Facebook someday soon).

I hope your Ivig goes well - I'll be thinking of you! Take care of yourself and avoid that heat (if you can)!

Yep.......cankles..the great equalizer! Nothing quite so sexy as those awful things........I never wear skirts anyway, but I love my capris but no longer wear them either....LOL!

My best friend's mom taught me how to swim....she was the best! I still remember how patient she was with me...I loved her so much.....

Are you having a great time with your folks?

50's sound perfect to me! Pre MG I wouldn;t be able to handle to handle the cold, but now when it is in the 50's I walk around in tank tops - needless to say people here in Texas think that I am nuts, but if I wear a jacket or sweater I am a sweaty hog......LOL!

Cant wait to see the pics!
