Feeling better, slowly.  Had a nice birthday Friday.  Lovely phone chats with both DDs, and my friend Tess came over and spent the afternoon with me.  I can eat again, and was thinking of fish and chips, she volunteered and actually went to pick up an order for me.  Tasty.  Haven’t had fish and chips in some time, but the point is….how lucky am I to have a friend like that?  Very, I’d say.  I was very, very tired that day, but still managed to have a lovely time.

I’ve cut back the Prednisone, as per doctor’s orders, and am seeing him again Friday for more blood tests.  I’m hoping less Prednisone doesn’t mean the pain comes back, which it did briefly yesterday, but not today.  Wait and see, I guess. Nothing much else going on, just slowly getting better.
