If you've ever taken a Medrol Dose Pack (Z-PAck) before then you're aware of the havoc it can wreak on one's body. With two days (and three pills) left Mark is wondering how the population with steroid insufficiency copes. Jittery, upset stomach, constant thirst followed by constant bathroom breaks...the list is endless and will continue for another day. On the plus side coffee is no longer a staple in Mark's diet. He found that out the hard way on day 1...reminiscent of the 10 year old kid he diagnosed with ADHD in the clinic last week.
Nevertheless it has proven to be a benefit as Maggie and Karen accompanied Mark for his first mile run in about eight weeks. The hamstring/tendons are still a little tender, but no excruciating pain felt. A few more weeks of self-imposed physical therapy coupled with a jogging pace that rivals the Hoveround and Mark SHOULD be good to go.
New goal = Cajun Man...to finish that is.
