Well... there is the part that she won't be around forever, and is a
generation older than you, so she may figure why bother or deny herself
unduly...  As long as her bg isn't too far out of control, she may be
doing ok enough as it is...
 
 NB>>> And then there's albuterol and something else, both nebulizer
 NB>>> treatment meds... something else that MJ was using...  :)

 RH> True, but I'm trying to avoid needing the steroids. (G)

Hmmm... is albuterol a steroid, too...?  If so, at least it is
differently administered... directly to the lungs where it is needed,
and not, like the prednisone, through the digestive system where it can
affect all sorts of other parts of the body just as easily...  I use a
steroidal eye drop, but that doesn't affect much else than the eyes
themselves...  Admittedly, the NSAID eyedrops started to give me the
usual bleeding and dizzies that oral NSAIDS do, so some does make it
into the system, I suppose...  :)   In any case, not needing the
steroids in the first place is a very good ambition...  (G)

 RH>>>> that's why I want to try mixing it with some Stevia.
 NB>>>> Give it a try... and report back... ;)
 RH>>> I will, but probably after we get back from Florida next month.
 NB>>> So you're finally making the trip to visit Steve's parents, that
 NB>>> got put on hold with everything else happening... :)
 RH>> Yes, it's happening now. We've been here for a few days but will go

 RH> Some have been saved out and are now up north. Don't know if Don took
 RH> them or my sister. She came with her significant other (common law
 RH> husband) and their son. Other sister is in AZ, probably told Don she
 RH> either couldn't get off work or couldn't afford to come out.

Not surprising... Hopefully she'll be able to come in May for the burial
service for your Mom and Bill...?

 RH>> hopefully before a replacement phone for Steve gets delivered. He
 RH>> cracked the screen on his (and put it in the washer) the night before
 RH>> we left. It also had a few minutes in the dryer before we realised what
 RH>> had happened. It still works but there's no touch screen display.
 NB>> OOPS...!  ;)

 RH> Big time! This is the first time we've ever done that. He's not sure
 RH> if the screen cracked when he was working outside earlier in the
 RH> evening or when it was washed but is getting a replacement on Monday.

I'd imagine he's happily using the replacement by now...?  (Hopefully it
arrived on time... [g])
