Yesterday's Blue!
Morning, everyone.
Woke up in the wee hours of the morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so I'll definitely want to skip the coffee and take a good nap at some point here.
As for the important part:
Whoops! Forgot to update Rufus' Spreadsheet (and thread) with his PMPS yesterday. It's wasn't heart-crushingly bad, but it wasn't great either - between Rufus' happy nadir of 130 and dinner time he had jumped up to 270. Well, for a PS test, we can definitely cope with that.
This morning, his AMPS was 274. Once again - not stellar, but not depressing either, and if you look back at his SS, you'll notice that during his initial 1.00u run he seemed to like to spend his early mornings in the 200s. At this moment, he's upstairs sleeping (and pouting) because I shooed him away from the dog food. He'll come down eventually - maybe when he realizes that there's lots of good sunlight to sleep in down here. I don't remember getting any purrs this morning, but he was cranky for his breakfast. Litterbox is normal, he's definitely feeling frisky (the dog food is more of a game to him than an actual want, I think), and he was good and damp from his bath when I came downstairs. He's certainly acting like he feels good.
We got a voicemail from Rufus' vet about his diet. She thought it looked great, but urged us to handle the chicken on our own to avoid e.coli and salmonella poisoning as best as we can. (We were planning on parboiling and chopping, so that ought to reduce our risk to an extent). She also mentioned she'd been watching his Spreadsheet (we sent her the link) and she loves it. I think she may be pointing her other Diabetic Beans in this direction now - if for her ability to track her patients' progress only.
At first I was unsure about her - but to be honest, with scheduling issues, I had never been present when she discussed Rufus' condition (my mother was, obviously). So that wasn't fair of me at all. After being at a Rufus Appointment once my mind was very much set at ease. I like her and I trust her (even for my littledevil angel). :lol:
Today is a busy work day, and since I don't drive (and Mom handles the vet bills, lol), we'll probably have to postpone the trip to the Animal Control center until tomorrow. I'll get in contact with them to see if John/Jack/Finn is even still available to adopt. It would be awful to get there and be told he went home with someone else the week before and they just hadn't taken down his listings. :-|
I'll cross my eyes and hope that everyone has a good day, full of lots of cool, breezy numbers.
