Journal Entry for October 2, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, October 2, 2007
Good morning everyone.  I am on my sixth day of 20 mgs of Prednisone and the double dose of Lasix.  I am feeling much better.  I still have difficulty walking due to pain in my knees, my arms are still very painful, and so are my hips, but at least now I am back where I can actually take my own shower, get dressed, and all the other necessities of daily living.  I still am unable to stand or walk for more than 5 to 10 minutes at one time, but when the pain is at its worse, it is much better than before.  I was crying all the time before my doctor put me back on Prednisone.  I was in very severe pain.  I now am at least able to function to the same limited level as before.  Prior to the re-entry to Prednisone, I could not function at all.  The swelling looks like it is mostly gone too.  My face was swollen and I didn’t even realize how much until I started the double amount of Lasix.  I thank all of you for your prayers and now feel that I am able to withhold my level of pain and functional limitations well enough to wait for my December Rheumatology appointment.  Love all of you ….Char
