8. That had to be scary for your sister.

It's good the doctors were able to use the device to help her hearing be more balanced.

Prednisone apparently can cause, anxiety, mood swings, agitation, and increased appetite in some. I asked the pharmacist before I started taking it, if there was anything he could recommend to lessen the impact, and he said not really. He said all I could do is just keep reminding myself that it was the drug causing my fears to be over-exaggerated. That didn't help.

Thank you for the well wishes!
