it's 2 am, and I can't sleep

Yup, back in the hospital.

Getting IV Prednasone, a steroid to treat a reaction of some sort. Unfortunately, it makes you a little loopy. In my case, you may not notice so much. It also makes you hungry, which means I'm eating like a horse. Funny thing is though, I've lost weight since Sunday. I don't reccomend it as a diet form, as it usually causes weight gain. My body is weird apparently, and doesn't react the way it should. Go figure. It also makes sleep a little bit out of reach. And I finished my book, and nothing is on the tube, and I'm bored out of my mind. I'm told I may get to go home tomorrow. If the rash is still present, I doubt it. Maybe. I'm tired of seeing the WTF??? look on the doctors face when he sees that nothing has changed, or the rash has spread a little further. He doubled my last dose, which was 5 hours ago, and to my eyes, the rash is redder, angrier looking. My luck, I'm reacting to the steroid, which I'll now have to be weened off of, since you can't just stop taking it =/

I want to go to the business meeting tomorrow night, as there is lots to discuss I hear. I think I'm going to bury myself in the Barony for a while, and get some things done that I've been wanting to do, now that I have the time - assuming I get outta this place.

Assessments is still very much up in the air. I'm jonesing for an event and seeing friends. If I go, it'll be a daytrip thing. Fighting is out of the question, and even marshaling is open for serious debate. I'm not going to be in any position to be in the open sun for long periods so soon I don't think. But I can try and help out at Troll, which needs doing, and maybe work on finishing my MOL warrant (both of which would be under dayshades). We'll see if it's doable. If I can work it in any way, I plan on being there, if only for a while. I'm not going to do anything to risk my recovery either though, so if the Doc says it's a bad idea, I'll not risk it. I know that my health is more important than any one event, or even several. I'm not loopy enough to risk that ;-) It may be my next event will be Coronation, I certainly hope not!
