There was no pain with yesterdays walk.  I got a little winded because I haven't been doing much of anything but felling sorry for myself lately.  Another walk on the treadmill for 38 minutes covering 2.34 miles.  It is so hard to not try and get in 3 miles.  That has always been the minimum that I thought I should do as a runner.  Need to change that mindset right now.  I need time on my feet.  I have lost so much muscle that my legs look like skeletons legs to me.  My body fat has climbed way up there with the loss of the muscle.  I am learning when to take the Prednisone (6 am in the morning and 6 pm at night), that is keeping me pretty much pain free.  I now have more questions for the next Doctor visit.  The main question is, we get the pain under control, is this a lifetime treatment or what????
