I can't say, over that short time, I noticed any weight change.<br /><br />I would have enjoyed a little swelling.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824632356834631279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395301831609983730.post-77487821977383497032009-06-30T17:36:13.415-07:002009-06-30T17:36:13.415-07:00Steroids ... my research nurse keeps reminding me ...Steroids ... my research nurse keeps reminding me of that.

I was most upset that i couldn't get my late mums ring off my finger and had to have it cut off. I got it re-sized once i got back to normal and now it never leaves me.. <br />xxTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456462918099391171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395301831609983730.post-86854111786010632502009-06-30T09:25:40.721-07:002009-06-30T09:25:40.721-07:00Great idea to take a picture of them to treasure t...Great idea to take a picture of them to treasure them.

You may find you need to resize them when treatment is over if your fingers don't return to their normal size. And if you want to keep them close now you can always wear them on a chain to keep them close to your heart.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.com
