 Well I have been in rehab for about 3 weeks now. ManorCare, the place of my physical torture, has turned out to be good. Averaging three sessions per day, seven days a week. Getting stronger and hope to go home in a few days. The corker on the whole thing is that I started a flare of my RA yesterday and it is having a nasty impact on my gut again. So the handy dandy doc jumped right into the fray and quadrupled my Prednisone (the drug you love to hate) dose and so here I lay at 1:00 AM in Prednisone induced insomnia!! Dang...wonder if and when the roid rage will strike. Stay tuned!

That prednisone is bad stuff as we all know . When I was on it for a long period of time they also gave me sleeping pills so I could sleep . We need the rest to help heal of course .
