The other day, I ate quite a bit of celery with low carb peanut butter, which was a lil scary with my Crohn's, but it was actually pretty good, even though I'm not on steroids.

Three days off the pred and the energy is low, the mood swings are high, irritability is high, but I'm not going back and I'm happy for it.

The good thing about being SUPER hungry when I was taking the prednisone is that the opposite is true.  Now that I'm down to 10mg (from 40mg), I'm not that hungry at all.  Oh, how crazy the body works.

Since the pred is a corticorsteroid, which is a stress hormone, it makes sense to me that when the body produces a bunch of it naturally, it would cause the appetite to kick in.

Went to a new chiro yesterday who is actually in the same office as my plastic surgeon.  I did not even realize that when I booked her.  I chose her based on her picture, reviews, distance from my house and most importantly, whether or not she accepts my insurance.  She seemed excited about my case, since I have a C-Curve and I've really only had it for a few years, which I never thought about before.  See, since my knee surgery which corrected the angle on my knee, my leg length difference went from a full inch to 3/8 of an inch, which kind of pushed up that side of my back in a weird way, causing some significant back pain.  "Scolio servey" today, which is a bunch of xrays.  One of the awesome things about me having spent five nights in the hospital this past six weeks is that my deductible has been met as well as "maximum out of pocket" is done, too.  A good time to find specialists to be on my team, for sure.

I can tell she is going to be  a good fit and she sure did beat my back up yesterday!!  She warned me that I would be sore and boy, am I!  She also is going to have exercises for me to do, which I'm all about doing.  I'm a kind of "heal myself" kind of gal.

Finished up summer school yesterday!!  A&P done.  I am almost sure that I will have a 4.0 in that class, which is cool...

Now, this week, just gonna try to get a bunch of work done and get my bedroom and office into one room (the master) so that boyfriend can have his OWN room and PLENTY of space when he gets here.

T minus six days 'til fiance number two and I will be re-united!
