Rumours of my demise are moderately exaggerated.

Back now. They said I could actually go home at 12:30 last night, but that probably wasn't the best time to attempt it. Not that I got any sleep there, being woken every two hours anyway. Fish and chips for lunch. I was apparently okay to leave at 12 noon, but then was waiting two hours for my tablets (eight steroids a day for a week — presumably I should expect great breathing, spectacular muscles and testicles like raisins) to arrive. When I got dressed and started getting arsey, the tablets arrived quick smart.

Now looking through eBay for severely underpriced laptops for arkady. I missed a few great deals last night, which really annoyed me.

when Richard has the steroids for his asthma, he gains weight like crazy. watch out for it!
glad you're feeling better.

[ashbet]

However, do not allow possible weight gain to deter you from taking said steroids, since, well, BREATHING is important and stuff. Weight gain can pretty much be avoided on a short course of steroids by just paying attention to what's going in your mouth -- it's the long-term doses that can really do harm in that department.

And I'm glad you're HOME and ALIVE and all that!!

Glad you're somewhat better. Seems to have been the night for it last night, but I definitely got off rather better than you did! GWS!

You stay well!

Good to hear you're still breathing.

Steroids are over-rated. I was oon a course of them in a bad hay-fever season and grew one chest hair. I've still got it somewhere.

Glad to hear all is well :-)

Ps - I just managed to pick up a refurb Dell (1.8 P4m, 512mb ram and 40gb hd) over at www.tronec.co.uk for £320

[reddragdiva]

Yeah, I'm hitting a lot of Tronec auctions ;-)

Good to see you back, hope you're well soon.

.. er, raisins?

[medakse.livejournal.com]

best of luck for feel-betterness and no-no raisin danglies.

um
that made sense in my head.

Good to see you are well and have returned.

Technically, there's a difference between cortico-steroids (reduce inflammation) and anabolic steroids (male hormones). You probably got the cortico kind; they won't give you muscles, but they may make you bloaty and watery.

[reddragdiva]

I know that, but I couldn't pass up on the line.

[baljemmett.livejournal.com]

People used to look at me in confusion whenever I was taking steroids for my eye -- I'd put a drop in, someone would raise an eyebrow, I'd explain they were just my steroids and there'd be much confusion as to why I was still a complete wimp.

Guess I've got that to look forward to again now, but hopefully the course will only be for a few months this time!

Glad you're home and safe and hopefully feeling better again, was worrying... *hugs*

Glad things are ok - I bet you annoyed the nurses.

[severina-242.livejournal.com]

God, I'm so glad you're okay dear! I hope you're being sensible and resting and not smoking and such. Don't make me come over there young man!

[reddragdiva]

You know, that would not count as an incentive not to smoke.

[yellowrocket.livejournal.com]

Glad you are feeling more the thing :-)
Panic not about salient bits of you transforming terrifyingly into dried fruit overnight, a weeks course of steroids is not enough for the *schwoop...AAIIGGHH!* effect...

[barbedwirekiss.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you're OK.

Glad to hear you are feeling better :D
