Sunshine

Today I woke up to the sun shining brightly and the birds were singing. It is definately a wonderful spring day here in the Chicagoland area.

For this last treatment I asked the nurse if I could change my steroid dosage to see if it made a difference in how the side effects were. She told me that would be fine. It seems to have made a huge change. I have been tired and I have had side pain with major bloating, but other than that, nothing has been too bad. I have had a tiny fever to go along with those things, but honestly, I feel much better than I have the last two times.

Friday night I was able to be the "student coach" at our school's annual faculty vs. student basketball game. It was a blast. My students beat out the teachers by one point. They were very excited! I was just happy that I could be there and be feeling well enough to participate.

Friday night when I got home is when my bloating and side pain started. Yesterday I laid pretty low and I am continuing to do so today. Although with the weather so nice out today, I think I am going to go sit outside for a little bit.

Enjoy the warmth and the sun!

I'm glad that you're feeling better after this round. I know the last two were pretty rough. I hope that you enjoyed some of the sunshine on this beautiful day.

And just for the record you know that the one point victory in the SF game needs to have an asterisk next to it that reads "Ms. Nevin was unable to play due to convention in Springfield!" :-)We need to let people know that!

Take care!
