I'm OK..it's just "ten elephants" dear

Hubby:  Are you OK?

Erin:  I'm OK....Just tenesmus

Hubby:  Wake up..you are sleeping on the toilet and talking about ten elephants

At 3am that was freaking hilarious!!!!

Prednisone is not doing anything this time.  I actually feel more sluggish and don't have that spritely pred bounce.  I cut to 30mg today.  See GI at end of month and thinking about the antibiotic option again (that I keep forgetting about trying).  Cut my cholestyramine down to 1/2t. (a packet is somewhere around 2.5t.) and that seems to have helped some.  The weight gain is on.....  and my eyes are really bugging me this time.  They feel big in their sockets.  Having a hard time focusing when I read or look at the computer.  I feel like the blueberry girl in Willy Wonka---round, round, round & puffy.

My issue is right at my neo-TI.  Thinking surgery (or procedure - balloon???) will be my next move over more meds since the pred is not really doing anything.  I just do not have the time to take from work (who do I sound like now????).  I am having a hard time babying myself this time as we are still in addition construction and we are not shopping often or eating home as much as I should.....going to try and be better.  I really could use a nap again too......working 7am to 5:45pm several days in a row is not helping....yawnnnnn..maybe I can dream of elephants here at my desk!
