'Roids

This is a picture of my arm after Riley bit me this afternoon. Since we started this round of meds, he has been a little more ... aggressive.

Riley has always been physical, but now he wanders over to his sister and cheerfully hits her until I manage to move him. And the biting is out of control. The other night Bryan thought that Riley was running over to give him a kiss. Instead, Riley bite him on the cheek. I cower every time Riley's face comes near my face. Unable to get skin, he bites my hair instead.

The funny part is that Riley has a certain swagger to his walk now. I wish I could catch it on video. He is all wide-stanced and leading with his shoulders. He should totally be in a leather jacket with a comb in his back pocket.

I know that the corticosteroids that Riley is taking are not the same as the anabolic ones professional athletes and body builders consume with impunity. But I'm still going to call Riley's doctor tomorrow to make sure that the benefits still outweigh the side effects.
