@ernpick1 you may be retired but you’re working hard! Please take care of yourself and do something special . My husband was/is my caretaker, mostly by doing all the things i used to do. I know it’s exhausting, so i make sure he’s able to take his camping/fishing trips whenever he wants to.
Are you able to check your wife’s blood sugar every day and keep a record of it? Any infection will cause the blood sugar to rise. Between diabetes and prednisone, infections can be dangerous. Just keep close track of things and call her doctor when you need to.
I can tell you love your wife and doing a great job. I’ll be thinking of both of you so will you stay in touch>
