Side effects

At my follow up appointment Tuesday, my doctor decided to put me on a short course of prednisone to knock out the remaining crap from my lungs and chest. This did not make me a happy camper, given the list of possible side effects.  Heaven knows I need neither insomnia nor involuntary twitching.

But it seems that I'm avoiding most of the more common side effects, moving straight to one of my own devising: on line shopping.

Since taking that first fateful dose on Tuesday, I've ordered groceries on line (trying out Pea Pod; one of the symptoms of the bronchitis AND a side effect of the meds is exhaustion), a spring jacket, packets of notepads for my direct reports and an Easter gift for some friends. Oh - and at least two books, one a download and one actaul paperback ordered along with the notepads.

I need to get well before I go broke.
