Good Evening L&LL,

It is so disconcerting to see Rusty's numbers! But it is worth it because his breathing/sinuses are so much better after the steroid shot yesterday. I've raised his dose to 0.25U (from 0.10Unit) and will hold it for 3 more cycles to see what happens. He is acting fine, but I hate seeing him above the renal threshold.

It was a beautiful winter day here today, and I had lots of shopping chores to do after the really cold weather affected the stock in the stores. I wanted to go skiing again today, but there didn't turn out to be any time. The rain/freezing rain/ice is supposed to begin tomorrow. Bummer! It looks like our ski excursion to the Sheep Meadow on Friday will have to be cancelled because of rain and freezing rain.

Wishing everyone a good evening. The LagoonMeister is way up on the beach!
 
Aw, yes, I know what you mean. I hope you find a workable dose soon, then I'm sure it will back to business with Rusty, the new and improved better breathing lagoon meister! The steroids will make the scuba easier on him when he has to go fix the shark nets! ;)
 
Steroids really suck for glucose levels, but they do amazing work in so many other ways and sometimes it’s just plain worth it. Glad to hear that they are working for Rusty and that his breathing is better already.

I'm so glad Rusty's breathing is better. I'm sure you'll find a good dose soon. How long will he be on the steroid?

I don't know. A shot is supposed to last 4 or 5 weeks. We have an appointment on Monday (it will have been 1 week) for evaluation.

thanks for the visits, guys!
 
I can sympathize completely! It broke my heart to watch Squallie's BG rise so much when he was on steroids for his ear. In his case, it was a little difficult to get his numbers back down and evened out; his cycles have not been the same since then. Hope Rustydoes better with it than Squallie did. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Vines for Rusty to continue to feel better each day❤️. We’re in for a whopper of a rainstorm here (perhaps the warmer part of what’s forecast for up north?). Stay warm, snuggly and dry vines, too.

ETA: oops, our rainstorm is forecast for tomorrow!
