So glad you decided to take the prednisone. It must be such a relief when you start feeling better. I’m so sorry you have had so much pain.

Yay! I am so glad you are feeling beter, even if it is a “definately maybe hope” – that’s better than the dread of what is it?

And, as a novice lace knitter, I’d like to point out that the Michelle shawl lace pattern is hardly brainless, just your personal brain-on-prednisone knitting. Under similar influence, it would have to be plain stockinette for me.

Silk and merino need no fancy pattern! Jsut the fibre itself is lovely. And a treat to knit while you are waiting and waiting….while stoned.

(hee couldn’t resist)

Very glad your pain has subsided . Knitting soothes most anything.

I am still trying to comprehend where the pain may have been coming from?

Your comfort knitting cracks me up. The only knitting I’d be doing under those circumstances would be air knitting.

I’m so glad to hear the prednisone helped! That seems like good news on several levels 🙂

Such good news that you are feeling better! I’m very glad. I know prednisone wires you up and the drugs make you spacey–but being without pain for a while is a very good thing. I await your next post…I hope to hear things are improving. 🙂 Hugs from me over here in KY. (soon to be Winnipeg!)

All in all, good news. Appropriate professionals, paying attention. Medicines being effective. Hopefully, a good night’s sleep after all that sedation!

Your getting better (or at least feeling better) is the best comfort I could wish for.

I am so glad the pain is better.

Life, indeed, is good! Wired is good…as long there’s no pain. 😉

Love the tongue-in-cheek/mindless-knitting so un-reality for me description.

I’m all about no pain. After 18 months of chronic back pain (with this bout), I know pain can wear you down.

Your sense of humor continues to inspire me.

I am so happy the prednisone worked for you! Having had more than my fair share of pain I can say with all certainty that stoned is far better than pain any day:)

Glad the pain meds. are working this time around. Thank you for the lesson. Doing things for others is a powerful pain killer too.

So glad you’re feeing better!

Know you are a little more back to “normal” when prednisone does what it is supposed to do. Sorry the staph is back – now when your other staff (Dr R) is back you will be in good hands.

Please give Don my wishes for a speedy recovery – I haven’t left him any more messages, but laugh with him almost daily.

I’ve been following your blog for a while now, found it when someone else linked to you a few months ago. I have ulcerative colitis, but have been lucky & it has been fairly easily treatable so far. Prednisone has been a miracle drug for me, and the quickness of relief, like you said, is great. Hopefully it continues to work for you & you can continue on your road to full recovery!

YAY! Glad your into the “Life is Good” stuff too, I have a bunch of it in horsie and doggy designs.

I hate prednisone! I had one of those pred packs
when I had gum surgery and I was awake for 5 days!
How can your body heal when you are wired for 5 days? why not just drink 500 cups of coffee?

Benedryl could have assisted in the calming–it stops histamine troubles. *shrug*

Totally off topic, but I love the lace in this picture, and the red one up top of your page. Do you have it posted anywhere? I’ve been looking for just the right lace pattern for over a week now, and am so exasperated… Is it for sale, is it posted, would you take pity??? =)

Hope you’re feeling better,
Kari
