Morning Beth, as fat as he is , he is so light on his feet, he sneaks right past me, I usually wait for Perry to finish and then pick it up, but said Oh I'll just lay down for a minute, didn't happen lol Happy Friday the 13th :nailbiting: lol
 
Diane, I’m at it again....or should I say Elmo is at it again ....just got a 69 at +10 .....hoping Linda sees this and advise ab what to feed .....this cat !!!! Thanks for allowing me to hijack again !
 
Thanks, Diane ❤️ He started the day at 500 something and dropped slowly thru out the day ....I was in and out working outside ....never thot to feed him at the 127.... Tyler is much more predictable ....probably should have fed a little at each big drop...just so good to see him coming down ....sigh :oops:

We're hanging in there. Got to go deal with SIL's Xmas decorations tomorrow. Waited all day for her to call me today and I'm exhausted just from the thought of dealing with her. Going to turn in earlier tonight to make it through the ordeal tomorrow. Her highness thought I should have trucked down to the locker today to get out her decorations without any help from her.:mad:

@Beth 73 good morning Beth, Linda is a one of a kind, I don't know what we would do without her, I wish one day the three of us could get together, wouldn't that be awesome. I just hope Linda doesn't make SIL wear all of the ornaments lol. Do you hear that Linda lol I hope you have a peaceful day :bighug:

Oh no, count to ten every time she aggravates you, the way it sounds though you will be counting non stop. The sooner you go the sooner you will be home. Do you just have to go and help her get them out of storage, or do you also have to help her do the tree and decorate inside and outside
 
Linda( and Diane).... get yourselves some magnesium gummies ( Amazon).... they are for calming and they do work ! And taste yummy :)
 
And BTW , Linda , your Ozarks nephew had me up til 3AM :woot:....little poot wad :banghead: Started this day with a blue after hours of green ...makes it worth the sleep I lost ....almost . Getting too old for this nonsense :eek:

Beth explain to me , I was looking at Elmo's SS for last night, I do see the numbers in the green are a little different using a pet meter, the colors that are on top , know what I mean. Now if Elmo didn't drop below 50 tell me why did you keep testing until 3 am
is it because of Elmo dropping so low and you just want to make sure he is safe.
 
Yes, Diane , it’s cos he drops hard and doesn’t immediately respond to high carbs once he starts to drop, especially at night . During the day today I can let him go to the 50 cos easier to bring him up than at night. Color difference is cos I have to paint the bottom boxes myself cos my iPad doesn’t do it . Once Linda is back , if you don’t mind, we can have a talk ab last night here on your thread so you can learn from what she thinks too.:)
 
Last night it took 2 1/2 hours of giving high carb 20 food every 30 minutes to keep him from tanking....high carbs tend to not phase him so I have to hit him early, more and higher than the average cat, especially at night...
 
AND if you notice in my signature are the words Custom Dosing Do Not Copy....we are doing a custom response to Elmo..

@Beth 73 OK I understand, he is a tough Kittie to deal with, I understand about coloring the boxes yourself what I meant the green range that is at the top of the as is different for a pet meter compared to a human meter

I just went to Walmart and picked up the ReliOn Prime meter and 100 strips
Now have to take Tubby in to see the vet, she hasn't seen him in a year, she wants to see him, so then she will have to give ADW the order for the U100 syringes half markings and I will tell her I already have 5 of the lantus pens. So once I get them I will switch @MrWorfMen's Mom

Oh yes, Diane , ab different colors for human meter....my mind is blurred from 3 hours sleep then this marathon this AM...but I did suck it up and let him go low enough for the reduction he has been straining at for several days. This is part of his Custom Dosing. I think you will like the human meter...just have to put the AT out of your head ....I remember the transition for me and I just cold turkeyed it ...that’s what was easiest for me . If you have to do curves for vet you can use your AT and / or do a side by side for her .....Linda will know best on that score ....sure am praying that SIL behaves for her...that’s draining ....we shall hear all her tales later, I’m sure ❤️
 
And Linda and I will be with you every step of the way ❤️ She with experience and technical direction and me as cheerleader :woot::bighug::bighug::p Although she’s an awesome cheerleader and calmer-downer too❤️
 
Well I survived the ordeal although I'm exhausted as usual. Arrived to find her wearing what looked like PJs but she claimed was "lounge wear", hair uncombed, and her mumbling about a "wart" behind her ear that burst and the bandaid on it being stuck in her hair. GEES! Support worker apparently took her to the doctor yesterday for it, is calling her to remind her to take antibiotics, but she purchased bandaids far too large for the area needing to be covered. Have to wonder what the support worker was thinking?!?:rolleyes::arghh: SIL's attention was on nothing other than her boo boo and took forever to put clothes on since I refused to go trucking outside her apt. with her looking so disheveled. When she got finally dressed (20 minutes), she had put on a sweater with a hole in it. I told her it needed to be thrown out. She told me Douglas (BF) had said the same thing and thrown it out but she took it back out of the garbage. Did I mention my SIL is a hoarder of sorts and refuses to throw out the most mundane of stuff and certainly not any clothing her Mother may have bought for her many many years ago no matter what shape it is in. It's battle royale to get her to part with anything. I guess it's time to go over and do yet another major purge.

We managed to get all the Xmas stuff in one trip (thank goodness) but when we got back to the apt. and I was asking her what she needed me to do, she kept wandering around aimlessly looking for some blue garland for her tree that I seem to remember her looking for last year when we went through this ritual. Don't think it ever got found. She wanted to make another trip to the locker. I refused.

I think the support worker must have helped her pack up the Xmas stuff last year and they didn't even bother to take several other garlands off the tree so it took forever to get the tree untangled so I could put it together for her.

So having assembled her Xmas tree, 2 small lit up deer and stringing lights around her patio door, she then wanted me to decorate the top of her tree. I took the tree off the table (It's a 4 footer), put it on the floor and told her to decorate the top to her heart's content and then get the support worker to help her put it back on the table on Monday. Otherwise I would have been there forever. SIL has 3 speeds...slow, backwards and stop!

It didn't help that the weather here is crap.... slippery sleet and I didn't want to be there any longer than necessary as the roads were getting worse.

Got to go find food, ibuprofen or maybe a stiff drink. :rolleyes:
 
Linda , I'm sorry but you have me laughing my butt off right now ( at your expense) and I so needed it :joyful: :joyful: You are an absolute wordsmith !!!!! Glad it's over and that someone else will have the pleasure of helping her put it down . My fav line from your tale .." SIL has 3 speeds...slow, backwards and stop". :joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful: You are a hoot :bighug: Tell me you have the day off from curling tomorrow ?!?!?
 
Oh my lord, I am also laughing my butt off hearing about this, a wart behind her ear burst, I just can't lol and just picturing the large bandaid stuck in her hair. I can just picture you putting the tree on the floor and telling her to do the top herself, mission accomplished. You definitely have a way with words, I love it. Now go and relax and we will talk later

Again this morning, I just looked at your as, Elmo is putting you through the ringer.you must be exhausted
 
Yes, Diane, I am :( But I think of all you do for Ashley and your two kitty boys ... all Linda does for SIL and everyone here and I slap my whiney baby self ... I was going to try to sleep today but Elmo had other plans ... we shall see what PMPS brings in an hour and a half ...

You are not a whiney baby lol you have the right to , I pray that Elmo let's you get some sleep tonight, he's so cute that I just want to kiss that nose
 
Diane , I love how you check on us ❤️ Not sure ab testing ...probably will at least check at what would be his +2 ....it's been a strange 24 hours . As you have seen Elmo is a diver and a bouncer ...Linda says he's very unique in his response to insulin. He is not sensitive to carbs so it takes more and higher carbs to slow his dives and he can sky rocket suddenly . Just have to take it a day at a time . At least tonight I'll get some sleep . Hope you do too . :bighug:
 
Good morning , Diane ❤️ We are anticipating some wintery weather today so you know that makes me very happy :) Got to go over and put more straw in the yellow colony's houses and make sure they are turned against the weather . Sending hugs and prayers to you and yours :bighug:❤️:bighug:❤️

@Beth 73 good morning Beth, I think we are supposed to get a mix of snow and sleet
for tomorrow, oh happy day lol hugs to you also
 
Well after a marathon phone call of 6 hours last night, I crashed and slept but I'm still pooped today and really have to go clean up some of the crap from Mother Nature's offering of yesterday before it freezes into a solid mass. Yes I have curling tonight but it will be an hour of curling and an hour of pizza for the Xmas party so not a lot of physical activity required. Trying to catch up on all the stuff I didn't get done yesterday, like laundry and litter boxes. Seems it never ends. :rolleyes:
