Unfortunately, I have to take it easy and rest and explore the possibility of having a pretty major abdominal surgery. I had to up my dose of Prednisone today a bit past what I suspect may be the upper limit before I start experiencing the mood altering side-effects, but I'm honestly not certain about that. Unfortunately, the effects aren't immediate or obvious to me in their early stages (it has to reach a critical threshold in my bloodstream before the side-effects manifest). I'd like to try to not close myself off from the outside world entirely right now, but if there are any obvious shifts in posting style/mood for the negative, I'd appreciate someone letting me know (Heh @ asking people on the Internet to tell you if you're being a douche.) and I get to go back into monk-mode.
This seemed like an appropriate section of the forums to state this in.
Pssssssshhhhhh.
