[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 198246, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][B][FONT=Comic Sans MS]In many ways, I feel better - in other ways the fatigue & pain get to me. The scarring & drooping of my face from the shingles bothers me less but is still bothersome. (I get stared at a lot by children. I get the parents apology & the scolding of children while I'm still there.) I guess I need a makeover. My biggest concern is not knowing from day to day how my body is going to react to being asked to go about a day's business. husband got frustrated when he couldn't wake me last week. Yet, I feel more positive ~ this is probably as good as it gets recovery wise; however no one is talking about things getting worse. The only thing I must watch is stress & infections. That affects the Cushing's & the need for add'l prednisone. I'm thinking of asking all the staff that wander through my home to have flu shots this year. (husband is willing to cover half the costs if the shots aren't covered by staff insurance. It's mostly our PCAs that concern us.) The other concern is the muscle atrophy; need to find a water aerobics class or something nearby. I hesitate, with this economy, to join the Y or a health club. So, it's a day by day life ~ just like everyone else. I believe I'll start painting my walker or at least decorating it for the upcoming holidays. I have a black (outdoors & stays in the car) & silver (indoor) walker; now I want a red or royal blue walker. How selfish can I get? :queen: Must be all the star power I'm feeling from becoming the newest poster girl/woman. Yup, that's it. Thank you all for your support - I know I'll need it again - I can count on you all. [/FONT][/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
