Anyone who says they can't see the change in my face is a BFL. That's right, BIG FAT LIAR.
I have been able to see it for over a week. Its been more & more noticable lately. And today I got my first confirmation.
I went to the chiropractor for the first time since December. I saw her for several months after my car accident & now, probably because of Pred, my back KILLS when I lie down. The muscles cramp and it feels like someone is compressing my spine. So I went to get adjusted today which was AWESOME...
But back on track...
I was updating her on my condition & told her I was on Prednisone & what side effects I was having. When I mentioned the weight in my stomach & face she said, "Yeah, I can tell." {I wasn't offended.}
In some ways, its nice to finally have someone confirm what I already knew.
But mostly its just depressing.
I don't like to live in denial, and I'm REALLY REALLY grateful that I don't have more side effects from this drug. I really am. But physical changes are hard.
And we have family pictures next week.
Good thing my sister is a photoshop wizard.

Haaa! I SOOOO know what you're talking about! When people would tell me that they couldn't tell, I would just look at them incredulously. I appreciated the sympathy, but I respected the honesty a hell of a lot more. Sometimes, I was wondering if I WAS crazy...was I really "seeing" myself in the mirror right because nearly everyone around me would deny it. Until I saw my little sister (she was 6 or 7 at the time) say "Jenny, you're face looks funny". Ahhhh..outta the mouths of babes comes the only true honesty :)
I saw you Sunday and you DID NOT HAVE A MOON FACE! What, does it come on that fast?
