Three Days Left of Steroid Therapy

I was in the hospital for 5 days for steroid therapy. Steroid therapy was basically an infusion of high dose prednisone for 4 days, and a tapered I.V. push of prednisone on the 5th day. 

Nothing really happened during that stay. I just relaxed, got the meds, saw the doctors once a day. I seriously watched a lot of tv. I did some treadmill on the 4th day to pass the time. Elaine and my parents came to visit. 

All my labs came out great. Doctors did not seem worried at all. I did go home with more tapering of prednisone, in pill form. I am currently taking 10mg a day until my follow-up biopsy, which is this Thursday at 9am. 

My dad picked me up on the 5th day at around 1pm.
