This is one of those times when I’m glad I’m a performer. I don’t love what the prednisone has done to me this time around (oh yeah, I needed ANOTHER 40 pounds _and_ the moon face). But I’ve found I’ve gotten over the "Oh god, I can’t let anyone SEE me like this" bit simply because I’ve had to get out there on stage almost every week. If I can get up in front of a whole crowd of people, then going to parties/weddings/reunions isn’t quite as bad. In fact, the worst part this time around is having to make sure I always have a seat up on stage now and having to use the cane to get up and down off stage. I’ve been trying to offset my "Oh god, I’m fat AND crippled" twinges by making sure I wear clothing that looks good and that I’ve done basic stuff like dye over the depigmented streaks in my hair. Looking at the photos and video clips, I’m _still_ fat, but I’m not hideous. I’d still like to have my chin and my waistline back, though.

Hi Dawn, Good for you. It takes courage to do something like that. I had two weddings to go to last summer. I have a confession to make, now that the event is behind you. I dreaded going. I even posted here about my feelings. I did go, and it wasn’t as bad as I imagined. There were some people that I hadn’t seen for a long time. They didn’t recognize me. I came through it though. I don’t think it helps us much when we stay home and avoid things like that. We are still the same people we were before, even if our appearance has changed. BJ-in cool, cloudy Sk.

Ok, let’s try this again:) I went to wedding. Sat in back so no one would notice (hopefully) the sweat dripping down my neck. I’m guessing prednisone causes this?? Decided not to go to reception though. To much interaction and much more sweating. Wasn’t in the mood for that. Left my card and $ at the church. I always cry at weddings. To see two young people with so much love and filled with so much hope. To remember standing in their footsteps feeling so happy. About ready to burst with excitment. Watching parents beaming with pride, their babies giving their hearts to someone and it’s not them. I love watching the brides. Such big eyes and huge smiles. Looking ssssoooo beautiful, feeling soooo beautiful. The grooms still look nervous though. Handsome, but nervous. Millions of thoughts running through their minds. Am I doing this right. Is the ring on the correct finger? Such a magical moment, ssssiiiiigggghhhh. I’m getting verclempt…. I’ve vented/dumped and have got to move on. You know guys, it’s only through your strength and encouragement that I will accept this crap dumped on me. Not willingly and not gracefully – but who of us is graceful?? I have had the fortune to belong to other support groups. AA and CA have helped me tremendously. I have found that through the help of strangers/acquantences/friends (I use strangers only ife I don’t know a persons address. If I know where you live, you are not a stranger, you are an acquantance. When I know more about you and see/talk/email to you on a regular basis you are a friend. My way of sorting things out <smile>) I can move mountains. I got out my pick and shovel, lets start moving!! I know I cannot control what happens to my brother. Yes, he is an adult and only he can change his life. It just rips my heart out to have him living like this. He’s my baby brother and I have always been a caretaker. Taking care of too many things I might add. I just want to bring him home and nurse him to health. Give him some good constants in his life. Let him live unstressed for a change. But I do realize the best love I can give him at this point and his health circumstances is to leave him right where he is. I pray for him and think of him daily. I just have to force myself to let go. I guess the embarrasment and anger will eventually subside. On the upside, at least I have an excuse for loosing my train of thought. And since I don’t work with anything sharp I won’t put anyone in danger if I can’t finish my sentence. I have said this before. God has blessed me for being a part of this group. Thank you all ! dawn
