Thank you for the prayers. They must be working. That and the Prednisone.

Doctor gave me a shot and a schedule of prednisone yesterday. I feel much better today; swelling has gone down markedly. I even drove myself to work.

I have a greater tolerance for the people who drive carefully and walk "funny" in the store. I understand much better what the loss of independence can do to the mind. Maybe this is the lesson I was meant to learn.

Never take good health for granted. It can disappear in a moment.

I'll be sending prayers for everyone in pain. And prayers of thanks for my relief.
