What Goes On In My Brain
The Summer of Prednisone is coming to end
loved weather but that wicked steroid
I am so happy to say "au revoir" to!
Dreams turned into nightmares
daycare kids being dropped into the La Brea Tar Pits
from an airplane while yours truly tried in vain
a rescue while wearing Superman's cape
Another nightmare featured
friends have have be reacquainted with
via Facebook at a bumper car rink
the music would stop and the friend in the middle
would disappear as a bomb would descend
and take them out
Perhaps being bipolar makes it worse
the bronchitis and asthma wrecked bicycle plans
along with Insanity workouts
but Shaun T I will be back at ya soon
Thought initially the prednisone effect
was limited to me but found out
that stuff messes with friends and family alike
made my sister-in law a temporary witch
for my brother and a close friend
with a medical background and also bipolar
swore the drug would make manic
(she was wrong about that one)
I can only imagine how my latest dream
would have turned out
which featured a pool in the backyard,
couples in it making out,
and a new friend mentioning "chain saw red"!
Love the Summers in the NW
a nice respite from the rain
but oh lovely prednisone
"parting isn't such a sweet sorrow"

Never heard of that drug before -- sounds like the side-effects were not worth what you were taking it for....
That happens with some of the pharmaceuticals out there and it often seems the drug companies are just interested in making money -- but then sometimes their stuff helps too, so it is a double edged sword like most thinks in life --- ♡♡♡

I think my problem this time was a false sense of being better after my first dose which found me doing things like riding my bike and playing basketball before I was really up to it.
