After that last post I went on to have an emotional breakdown.
I have talked on the phone multiple times today and can't remember some of the conversations. I even called my mom but can't remember doing so. On the phone with my dad I couldn't remember if I had been awake or not when he called. When I called my friend Jacob, I broke down in uncontrollable sobs because he wasn't home and he's the friend that lives closest to me. Sometimes I can't use my right arm, and my legs feel like jelly.
All this compelled me to call my mom, and the two of us researched the more severe side effects of the drugs I was given in my IV today. Apparently the steroid was not my friend. Side effects include increased sweating (one of the nastier parts of my day thus far), disorientation, muscle weakness, and.... "emotional disturbance." So chalk that last post and my emotional phone calls up to the steriod. And if anyone ever offers you Solu-Medrol, think twice.
