Wow it does appear your doctors are good! I do hope your infection will clear up in time if not it shouldn't be too long before you will be ready. Best wishes and let us know how it goes.

I hope you start feeling better soon. That's really awesome you have a good group of medical professionals around you.

That pred will make you thirsty, and possibly hungry, but it will dry up your sinuses. Don't get upset if the scale stalls a bit because of the Water retention. You may already know those side effects, but thought I would throw them out there.

i actually didnt know about those side effects! thanks for sharing! i have been super thirsty all day just from breathing thru my mouth! im not really hungry, but my family had some yummy pizza from this great Italian restaurant for dinner so i had to remove myself from the kitchen lol these liquids are killing me! i just keep telling myself that ill be able to eat again one day, just not as much!

Hope - sorry to hear you're feeling poorly - I am sure the shot and the medicine will have you back to par by Monday - hang in there and drink LOTS of water!
