Every time I look at it, tend it ...I think of you. Remembering you said these are your favorites.
Bless you sweet lady.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers for a quick and speedy recovery. Keep everyone on their toes.
I hope you feel better soon Sass! Big Virtual Hug!!
Sass,
So sorry I just read this update, have just got out of the hospital myself yesterday pm (Saturday) and its probably not exactly big news that what they call hospital food isn't exactly good for the eyes or the stomach. Got to wonder if the hospital's chef ever tells anyone what they do for a living, cause I'm still wondering myself.
Sending you lots of love Sass, and am also sending up some prayers that you will once again bounce back. Your courage and resiliency are nothing short of amazing!
Many hugs,
Daisy
feel better soon dear sass!
I hope you feel better soon Sass!
-wishing you strength, comfort, and support to get well quickly dear Sass
Dear Sass:
Hoping you are better soon and that they get the infection under control. Lung problems are no fun!
Take care, and hope to see you back in fine form here soon.
Genko
Get well soon! Glad you have a lap top with you. Hospitals suck.
Just thinking about you Sass, hoping you are doing better and get to go home soon!
Nancy
thank you all...I am still going to be here for a bit longer, but rest assured that I am fine....
So good to hear from you, Sass.
Hugs
Elaine

And we are with you.
Love
Elaine
I'm so glad you're home ~sass~ :D
So glad to see that you are home. No place like home.
susanep :)
Rest... get better, Please. ;) CK
this is so hard...all the medications...withdrawals...I never give up...but geesh...just sometimes!
sass, I am glad to hear that you are home. Turn on the TV and hunker down for a nap. That is what the stuff on TV will do to ya!!!!
So sorry that you have to go through all this and suffer so darn much. Hope that you will gain strength now that you are back in your own neck of the woods. Hospitals are just not a good place to rest and recoup are they. TAke care my friend and enjoy the holiday weekend. Hugs Irish
Every time I want to feel sorry for myself I think of you ...what you are going through. I kick myself in the pants and say get a grip. You are an inspiration to so many people. I can't even imagine how hard it is, just know that I pray for you. I wish we could all take a turn and give you a well deserved break. Too bad it doesn't work that way. Rest and take care. CK
Glad to hear you are back home from the hospital. Rest up a lot and if you need noise, turn on the tv. They always let you out too soon, not when you can take care of yourself good. If you feel you need it, get help either from a service or a relative/friend.
When I was discharged, getting dressed, nuke-ing something and eating were the extent of my abilities for a few days. I had a service come in to do some cleaning, etc. though I didn't want to and they were a BIG help.
Hope you are able to enjoy this Memorial Day. Hope there is delivery service in your area.
Take care of yourself and give yourself a break while you are recovering.
really trying hard...no services in our rural community...and everyone lives far apart...your words are my comfort and i am lucky to have internet...I have to drop from 20mg to 0 mg of prednisone Wednesday..and as hard as this is..I certainly hope that the ride does not get wilder...if it does..I just gotta hang on to my rope tighter.....we don't quit......so keep the light on for me!
Sass you are in my prayers, and I hope you can get some rest. Just relaxing right now is a good thing.
susanep :)
Sass - the light is on for you; in fact it is a beacon of warm thoughts and hugs that you will indeed hang on to that rope!
sass, Prayers being said to keep you on the straight and narrow with not wild rides from this big taper. Hang in there girl---you are a tough cookie and you have come too far to let go of that darn knot in the rope.
YOu have had one heck of a year. Here is hoping and praying that this summer will bring you more joy and peace. Hugs. Irish
Sass,
If it makes you feel any better, I have been on an increased dose of prednisone too. Hoping to start tapering down at my next appt. :) It makes me moody. Crying a lot this week....over stupid stuff. Even commercials on tv. LOL Man, hormones and steroids just don't mix so well. I have to laugh at myself to keep from getting worse. My husband is like " what is wrong now "? Poor guy.
I am just so thankful that you seem to be hanging in there and hopefully making some progress. If there has anything that I have learned over this last year it is to enjoy each moment. Life is way too short. I have spent too much time dealing with things that did not matter. Now I stop and enjoy the little things in life, I celebrate the small victories. No more fast pace. The me I once knew is gone, but The me I am getting to know is okay, because I am still alive. So I guess I am just thankful for so much. Take care Sass and know that I am praying for you, our God is a big and mighty God . CK
i do not care anymore...

Understandable. When it is too much, you ride the waves..........and float.
Thinking of you.
Love, Elaine
Praying for you.
Genko
Sass,
Sending thoughts, prayers, and a big hug.
Even when you don't care anymore, we still do. Sending prayers your way. Wish there was more I could do. CK :'(
Dear Sass, I just want to let you know that I am thinking about you & that I am really missing your posts. I hope today is good to you.
Hello All...i am so sorry for my negative post...I do care!!! I care about myself and about you...he medication withdrawal throws me for some really low dips at times...But I am making a come back and am improving...Thank you for pulling me thru again ...there are many special people here...and I thank each of you...Please feel free to message me if you want to...I do not mind and it is never a bother...One thing that pulled me down was I lost a friend from another board that I actually knew...she lived about 20 minutes and was a lovely person..She did not have sjogrens as far as I know ..she had a Parotid issue...But I am pulling thru and will return even stronger than before...We must all stick together...thank you for sending your weel wishes and prayers my way,
love ya,,,,,,~sass~ :)
Dearest Sass,
I am so sorry about your friend - jeeeeez meneeez, what an ordeal. No apologies necessary; we knew you were not giving up, we were just worried about you.
It is very good to read your post and thanks for your offer of receiving messages. It is also a day brightener to hear that you are getting stronger - keep going. Love back at ya', P. Trish
So glad to hear from you, Sass, and am so sorry to hear of your loss. Seems like we are losing so many friends this year. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for you. Take are friend. God Bless the prednisone and God bless the day that one can get off the stuff. Irish
Sass,
So sorry about your friend.
I am glad you are feeling some better though...no apologies are ever needed though. We love you. We are here for the peaks and the troughs. If you can't say it here, where can you? Sometimes it is hard to be Miss Mary Sunshine when you feel like your whole world is falling apart. You probably deserve an academy award for performances you have had to put forth for friends and family to spare their feelings or confusion. Girl please....vent. Scream . Cry . and complain as needed. Sometimes it is only the people here who can understand the most? Strange but gives me comfort. Thanks to all of you for that. CK
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, but we are glad to hear you are doing better personally. That prednisone withdrawal can be extremely difficult, as many of us know. Take care - we are all hoping you are feeling much stronger soon.
Genko
Hang in there! Sometimes losing a friend is much harder than using a family member. :(
Hugs, Sharon
Just checking in on you Sass. Thinking about you. Hoping July is finding you feeling a little better. Thoughts are with you. CK
Sass, with SJS we all learn to take it one day at a time. Each day is different. I hope this day is going well for you. Always know you are in our thoughts. Here is a (((hug))) for the day!!
Jennifer
Sass, we all know that when you have SJS, you take it one day at a time. Each day is different. Hope today is a good one for you.
Here is a (((hug))) for today!!!!
Jennifer
Hi Sass
If you are able to, please let us know how you are doing.
Hugs

I am doing fine for the most part. I am on vacation and just have not got on the computer too much.
I am suffering of all things right now with my knee..Did not do anything to it and went to the local ER, they referred me to an orthopedic as they have no clue as to what is going on..No swelling or anything. Can barely walk on it.
I called my Rheumy in Texas and he is concerned that it is something called Osteonecrosis means, literally, bone death. Also called Avascular necrosis and must be diagnoised by MRI..the hospital where I am at on vacation would not do one, although my Rheumy called twice and spoke with the ER doctor and requested he do one...so now I have to wait til I return home.
It is one of those side effects of heavy doses of prednisone. I also have Steroid Myopathy from it. Basically it is attacking my muscles, joints and bones. YAY! another fun moment! I am struggling to loose this weight from the heavy doses of prednisone..I swear I never want to even hear that word again!
I have a few times that my oxygen saturation has dropped low, but a little O2 and it gets better..I am just determined not to let this stop me.
oh well! I will beat it too! Just a minor set back.
Hope this finds you doing reasonably well. Thank You so much for all your thoughtfulness and concerns...
~sass~
oh...heart is hurting again...I have lost yet another friend to what they are calling pneumonia .She ran errands Friday , had her Secretary make a dr appt for Monday but died Sunday. She had 18 month old twins and the 7 yr old. This is just terrible..A Young Woman! early 30's. This is the same way things started for me...had I had a panic attack with angina and went further than the pneumonia DX and then did not take the word of the first Pulmonary Doc..got that second opinion! The doc's in Houston said I would have been dead if I had waited another week to go in the hospital that first time and got oxygen and steroids then...I would have went down as having pneumonia also......so terribly sad. I hate that there is no definitive way to know if you have a lung disease. It will not show on X-Ray!!!! geesh! Please Please Please if you are having a breathing or lung issue, do not stop at first opinion and certainly not just an X-ray..please get a CT Scan and get that second opinion
Oh, Sass. Sorry to hear about your friend. It seems like you have had so much sadness on you lately.
Know that we are all here and with you in spirit. Stay strong. (((hugs)))
Jennifer
I am so sorry Sass. Life is happening too quickly these days it seems. I am so sorry for your friends family. CK
Sass
Thank you for your update. I'm glad to hear you are having a holiday, though sorry to hear about your continuing ailments. And I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. Her babies and family are in my prayers, as are you, dear Sass.
Kathyx
Sass
Sorry to hear about your friend. Otherwise you sound like you are holding your own, hope vacation helped. Love ya!
Cricket~
I hope you have a good vacation, and that things look up, and the MRI shows good news!
Hugs, Sharon
Thank You all..You each are a Blessing to me..I think of you often..I will be returning from vacation soon and will try to catch up. hugs to all...and I am doing great right now, though sad to be leaving my paradise! My home!
