……last week
This week………
I’m gradually starting to feel somewhat normal again
( normal for me that is…) , but it’s still a one-day-at -a time kind of process.
As my docs always tell me…..”It’s pretty amazing how fast you seem to bounce back after a serious attack”. Well, I don’t know if it’s amazing, but I’m sure thankful for it. There have times where it’s taken me MONTHS to recuperate after one of these flare-ups.
Actually , this recovery hasn’t been as easy as it sounds…there’s been a lot of bumps along the way. Tapering off the steroids is always a tricky affair, and I have a long way to go before I wean down to my baseline dosage of 20mg.
Starting tomorrow I’m going to attempt to begin walking again on a regular schedule. It’ll take me several weeks , if not months, to regain what I’ve lost , but I don’t have any pending races, so I guess that’s cool.
