How God Must Laugh at Me!!
In one of my last posts, I think I mentioned that I was going to try taking a steroid to alleviate some of the symptoms I am having - dizziness, loss of hearing, and nerve pain around my bottom and down my legs. The idea is that the growing tumors may be causing inflammation that can be decreased by the steroids.
I tried them for 2 days and then went off of them to see if the symptoms came back - and they did.
So I am back on the steroids for who knows how long (the rest of my life?).
KB (my nurse) and I had a long discussion about the side-effects of long-term steroid use. Here is the sad part: if I am honest with myself, the side-effect that bothers me the most is that MY FACE WILL GET PUFFY!!
I have bruises all over my body, am 100 lbs over-weight, the entire left side of my face does not work, my hair is coming back in gray and patchy and I am STILL CONCERNED ABOUT HOW I AM GOING TO LOOK! Seriously.
Much love! Kelli

It's human nature to care what we look like! But just remember that those who love you don't see all that...we see the beauty that shines from within you. We are all just so blessed to still have you with us to share your faith, to cry with you, and to laugh...the shell is unimportant. Love ya- Lori Jo
