MethylPREDNISolone = Better Off Dead

The ortho has given me methyprednisolone some sort of oral Cortisone. This stuff makes me nauseous. Day one I was straight sweaty..hot flashes all day. Day two nauseous. I've felt like I wanted to puke all day. Luckily its kind of a rainy overcast day so its not such a bad day to hang out around the house and watch "Better Off Dead" for the gagillionth time.

Knee feels exactly the same I still dont understand how they can say nothing is mechanically wrong when I've had a lot of down time and while there is no pain there is still that 'pulling' feeling. Anyway, 6 days of Methyl. and 10 day wait afterwards and I call the ortho back. If there is no change hes going to refer me to a different doc in their facility. I was bummed this morning went to get some bananas for our sick little girl and I passed one guy on a bike with aero bars and saw a woman running with a fuel belt. Lucky bastards.

Im only 27 years old! Do you have any idea how many people my age and younger would PREFER to sit around all weekend and watch TV?! Alot! I used to be one of them! Now Im not one of THEM and this freaking dysfunctional knee has me sitting home wondering if the paper boy in "Better Off Dead" could have caught Lane if he had a set of aero bars and some speedplays. I bet then he would have got him some $2. He does have some pretty good form though when he's climbing the hill at the beginning of the movie. :)

EDIT: Yes, I am aware the Ironman Worlds are on today but Im kind of in Nina Krafts camp today.... I just can't bare to watch. Of course my reason for not watching is far different than hers. I have it in the DVR though so when Im back at it I will watch.Sean Mayhew
