I still haven't gotten the nerve up to try a sweater, so you are my hero.<BR/>As for the tapering...My doctor only started tapering mine with the ominous projection that I will no longer need them by the beginning of next month. She told me that they normally taper at +150 days. I've talked to other patients at other centers who have been tapered much earlier. Who knows, I'm just happy to be here.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214868698905207283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185478329549346639.post-42868229378806005882007-11-12T18:11:00.000-05:002007-11-12T18:11:00.000-05:00woops! hit return too soon.i was going to say . ....woops! hit return too soon.<BR/><BR/>i was going to say . . . pj, if you master the knitting, great!<BR/><BR/>i used to live in a remote log cabin in interior alaska (in between the yukon and tanana rivers, roughly 10 miles to each), and i tried knitting one winter as many of the other "bush wives" knitted all sorts of cool stuff--heavy wool socks, hats, mittens (obviously, more for autumn and spring than sub-zero winter). <BR/><BR/>i never got it either, despite my bush-neighbor snow machining to my cabin and spending quite a few afternoons showing me. i finally gave up when spring brightened and warmed the days, landing me outside more often. ironically, my husband (an alaskan gold miner, 3rd generation) seems to be better with domestic skills of sewing, knitting, etc.<BR/><BR/>alas, we have since left alaska for warmer temps in florida, exchanging gold pans and dog sleds (we used to raced sled dogs, too) for beach chairs and sail boats.<BR/><BR/>glad you are feeling better, and great news about the immunosuppressants.<BR/><BR/>sueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185478329549346639.post-49888055224560253432007-11-12T18:00:00.000-05:002007-11-12T18:00:00.000-05:00pj . . .pj . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
