So I am back on the IV steroid roller coaster. I just got home from day four of a five day course. I did get horribly sick from it yesterday, but sedatives, anti-nausea meds, and a slew of other remedies later, I was floating along just fine.
My neurologist just isn't happy with my lack of progress, hence the latest attempt at steroids. I will finish the IV portion tomorrow, and then have a two week oral taper. I also get to be sedated for as much of it as I need, so at least I won't feel as bad as I did yesterday... Woo yay!
They did take out my IV port on Valentines day so that The Doctor and I could go out to dinner sans tubes and bandages for our big date. I felt good that night and we had a lot of fun talking about everything non-medical and kid. We even made it over to Cupcake Royale to get a few of my favorite peppermint chocolate cupcakes. I did pick up a few for my wonderful Ballard treatment nurses. They are so great there; the best I have ever worked with! They deserve a little Cupcake Royale everyday!
So here is my medium long quick update. I am about to go crawl back into Big Guy's bed (since sleeping in my bed in the middle of the living room just screams JUMP ON ME! to the kiddos...), and pull the covers over my head. I may not even have to take a Lorazapam tonight! Yay for the little steps!
