Call the baseline after the steroids at 7 days. Jan 3 was last IV. Yesterday was the first "normal" day.

If yesterday was the "good" baseline, then today is a bit of degredation from there, mostly on the shakines and fine motor skill areas. It feels like I took benedryl to sleep last night, although I didn't. No problems this morning with fatigue at all, couldn't wait to get started on the day. Note the emotional shock of losing the CD last night (its found now-was on the old PC between the covers. Right where it should've been, but I thought it was supposed to be in the bag of software on top of the PC). Humorous moments with Wifey when she suggested that we look for it together. The problem was where to look. If you abandoned the assumption that there was some logic to where I put it, then you might as well start looking behind picture frames and under the rugs, 'cause I could have just as easily concluded that that was the logical place to put it.
 
VideoPC up and running. I AM THE KING!
 
Should be a very active day. BBall game this morning. Then leaf blowing. Then box. Then programming. Then anything else I can get to on my list. I'm optomistic about being able to get through the day. Yesterday, I logged over 8.5 hours of work (light on the programming as where I'm at on the charity job has me in a logical rats nest). But the good news is that I hung in there and kept working until 9:30 pm, I had stamina, and my brain was working!
 
I'll let you know.
