COMING OFF STEROIDS, NOW THAT’S A TRIP…
I suppose that a lot of people, at some point, have to take, or stay on steroids for awhile; and I bet that everyone has their own story on when they are able to come off. Woop-tee-do, what the body tells you is happening, is happening, plus some. A lot of what I was feeling the first week, the Dr.’s called it right; these guys know their stuff, and I ‘m glad they do, and call it out. Let’s drop back a little bit, and I’ll recap what was happening as I was on Dexamethasone and Famotidine, (these are the steroids, with a sedetive to help them along!), along with the anti-seizure…

DO I HAVE THE GREAT FRIENDS, OR THE GREATEST FRIENDS…HUMMM
I’ve often thought of every friend that has come along my way, in one way or another. It’s amazing how many there are, and I’m not even thinking of numbers; it’s all about the people, and their hearts and what they have inside their bones. You don’t know how many times I just shake my half-brain head, and acknowledge how lucky I am; because I JUST am. So many things have come my way, from other people giving, and many times me not knowing what was going on, and by the way, still happening in some ways. Maybe I’ll go out on a limb, and actually try to name everyone…

HOW MUCH FASTER CAN THIS HEART BEAT!!!
WOW! AGAIN, WOW! What a life. I’m telling you, we ALL can say that, and should, but do we? That’s the point here; I think that we all feel this at some point, recognize it and enjoy! I just had my folks visit for a week. Guess what we did? Absolutely nothing, but relax. I think they enjoyed it as much as I did, because every time that I took a nap, ( as we mentioned before, I take a few a day, since I don’t sleep due to these steroids that I have to keep taking, but my last week is right now, by the way!), they did a a nap,…

ALWAYS KEEP ON, PUSH FORWARD….
I slept! Let me say THAT again, I slept! What a feeling that is, to actually wake up, and feel pretty good! Woop-to-do!! For what ever you’ve read, you’ll notice that I’ve been on these wonderful steroids for the inflamation from radiation for about 3 weeks now, another week to go as we taper down the dosages, but the side effect on this, you DON’T sleep. An hour or two, wake up my half-mind starts to race,( and for me, what does does THAT mean?), so you stay up, write, read, whatever; I guess if I think about it, maybe it’s really not SO bad! Sure makes an interesting day/night combo that…

Have Some Juicesssss….
Come on now, you gotta like juice, of some sort. It could be something very simple, orange, cranberry, grapefruit; but it could get deep, here. Most people like to buy a processed juice at the store, why not juice you’re own thing, make it exactly what your taste is? I prefer to juice everything, I have for years. It’s addicting. You can make some stuff with a juicer that coast less than $100.00, and that’s a deal over time, because you’re paying that money out when you buy a product, and why do that; put that money in your body! Why would I do a blog on juice? Because it’s GREAT for…

Ster-oiiiiids; What A Catch
Big word, this steroid word. We all hear about it, and “them”, and sometimes just take it and “them” for granted, and not even think about what they they might do to our body. We’re told to by our doctors sometimes, and we just do. Other times, and who knows what this reason might be, people elect to inject, or swallow, or rub or whatever might be in the back of their mind. Pretty rough stuff. As you probably read, I had an unbelievable trip to Kauai, Hawaii. So, so lucky that I would do again in let’s say, 1/2 a second. Pretty well exhausted myself, ( and by golly,…
