Curious to hear from the medical professionals and those with experience.
I guess I've heard of this before, but never thought about it much. I know it's a whole different class of drug from what the athletes mess with.
I went to the Urgent Care and got antibiotics. I was telling the doctor my recovery was going to suck after being down a week. She said she could give me prednisone and it would help with that and that also I had a tiny wheeze it would knock out.
I didn't take it at first - a little put off by the "steroid" name. By yesterday, I was moving around the house, sure on my feet with a clear head, and with a positive demeanor. So today I figured I'd try the next step. Took the prednisone and waited for something to happen - never did. Figured that was a bust.
I thought a good first outing/walk/fresh air would be to go to Costco and get a chicken - never a bad time for a Costco chicken. Got a bad spot, so it seemed like a half mile walk. Got my chicken, shopped, dodged copious number of zombies, through the checkout. On the trek to the truck, I see a guy with a 65" TV. "Need a hand?", so I helped load that - back to the truck. Then I remembered I had an Ollie's coupon and decided to go there. If you're familar with Ollie's Coupons, you know that meant another hour. Filled up the truck on the way home. Switched out loads of laundry before settling into the office.
That sounds like a pretty normal day, right? That's the point. How the hell did I pull that off after a week of not moving?
This is how I want to recover from everything from now on. I haven't the slightest idea what's going on with my body, but I like it.
The seems like the kind of thing you'd want to have around in bad times.
Any educated/experienced thoughts?
