Conflicting Emotions

Today I am both sad and mad, as well as scared. In 1 1/2 hours I begin my IV Solumedrol treatment for the first time. The fear of the unknown is just not very much fun. There will be side effects for sure, but once again it is like playing Russian Roulette. You don't know which ones you are going to get until they happen. I will likely swell up, just what I need. Already I have no idea who this woman is who looks back at me from my mirror and after the steroids, she sure will be unfamiliar.

I wish they were administering it somewhere besides my home. I wish I had told them I would just come to their facility. My home is my haven, my safe place and now there will be this memory in my house. It sucks!
