Today I finish my dose pack. I can almost walk without major pain. It seems like the steriods have helped and I am grateful. Again, things like walking should never be taken for granted.

I am so moody and frustrated. My emotions are up and down and up and down with the drop of a hat. I can't walk and am crawling up the stairs now. I take a deep breath more than once today and keep my head up as much as I can.

Today I start a dose pack of methlyprednolisone. It's a six day wean off from my IV treatment. All goes well. My skin looks horrible, but it's worth it. I can barely walk. The numbness has subsided, but it's been very painful to get from point A to point B.

IV day three and all is well. The guy I'm seeing is nice enought to take out my iv and come over for a bit. I fall back into bed at 9pm again tonight. All is well this time with treatment. I usually am so razzed with my steriods it's unbelievable. I've actually been pretty normal this time.

IV treatment, day 2. It is such a quiet day. I grab a lunch with a friend and go home to rest. My phone does not ring all day and I don't care. I spend a quiet night with my IV and I'm off to bed at 9pm. Ah, rest...

Today I started an IV treatment for 3 days. The attack didn't get better, just worse. I start it in the afternoon and snooze. It feels really good and it is one of those naps that you wake up in the sun and feel all fuzzy. Yum.

My feet are still numb. My next youngest sister and I decide to drive to South Dakota to surprise my parents for their anniversary. I'm very excited. The drive is kind of icky, but I make my sister drive a bit for me. That helps.

I woke up today and my feet were numb. I think I may have learned my lesson on seeing the doctor. I would almost bet that my immune system has turned on me for fighting this sinus thing for so long. I think I'll wait and see what happens for a couple of days before I draw conclusions.
