Good morning Kit, Mikan did have a bit of a run last night. Nice green numbers
and hopefully she didn’t do any deep diving. It appears she stayed where she should. What a good girl!
I hope today is another good run with nice safe numbers.
I hope you get to enjoy the day and not work too hard.

Hi Staci,
Looks like another mellow cycle for Mikan this morning. She's alternative a flat one with an active one.
I would like to see something more consistent, but she does what she does
I have a kink below my left shoulder. I think I pulled it when I was trying to coax Mikan out from this tiny space behind the tub. That's one of her hideout places. I'm going to get a massage today, and hopefully, it gets better. Not terrible, but when I lift my left arm to reach up high, it is painful
Wishing you and Ivy a lovely day!

Hi Kit, I see she's coming down to blues already. I hope there is no drama with her today. I'm sorry about your shoulder. I know it could be painful. I have been there before . I hope the massage helps , try putting those ice packs on it when you're home. Ice did help me.
Check back later

There’s nothing worse than some thing is that painful and you’re trying to do all these things for the kitties.
I pulled my back out last year from sleeping on the floor in Ivy‘s room when she broke her leg and I could barely move. It was absolutely horrible. Took me months of physical therapy to get feeling a bit better. I really hope you didn’t pull something badly and I hope they were able to give you some relief.
Feel better my friend. And Mikan, be nice to your sweet Mama

Hi Diane, 'Thanks for the tips! It's generally okay but when I have a certain angle movement of the left shoulder, it's sooo painfulHi Kit, I see she's coming down to blues already.

Hopefully it'll get better soon!A bit of disappointing PMPS. I was hoping a blue start but she must have gone up at some point.
Hope she comes down gently. I'm starting to think, well you know. Let's see how she does tomorrow!
Have a lovely evening!

Oooh, the back is definitely the worst because it's involved in everything we do
Hope you recovered now without any after effects? The massage was like tough love
The therapist was this small lady but boy, was she STRONG! She also found how tight my neck was. She said that my clenching at night was contributing to that. Oy.
It was told that I would be sore and I needed to drink a lot of water. I don't know how many gallons I've been drinking today
Mikan went up for the PMPS - bummer! I was hoping a better number. Hope she can come down nicely. Her cycles are turning to be "meh" - I will see how she does tomorrow and ... shhhhhh
Have a wonderful evening, Staci and Ivy

Wait, you're not supposed to have some pain when you lift your arm?I have a kink below my left shoulder. I think I pulled it when I was trying to coax Mikan out from this tiny space behind the tub.

All joking aside - while the massage was tough love, I hope it helps you feel better. I definitely need to get back into going. When I first started going the massage therapist was like, it might be easier to tell you were you don't have knots in your back/neck/shoulders.

Hey, we can form a tight neck club - Kinky Knot Club? (that sounds very very badWait, you're not supposed to have some pain when you lift your arm?

)I drank so much water today that I feel bloated. Why do we have to drink so much water after a massage session?
Anyhow, nice cycle for Kit cat. Mikan's taking a break today
Hope she'll show a little more action tomorrow!

They never told me to do that, but since my last kidney stone in 2013, I already drink at least 80 ounces of water on a regular day, and more if I'm being active at work. Those are NOT. FUN. And I also told them I was drinking a lot. Of water that is.
It's like a double edged sword. I want the good numbers and the good cycles. But also, I want sleep. I'm honestly contemplating moving her shot time an hour or two later for the summer to try to get more morning sleep in. Haven't decided. Regardless - I hope Mikan shows some good numbers tomorrow!Anyhow, nice cycle for Kit cat. Mikan's taking a break today

Oh no
I've never had one but I've been told that it's the most painful thing in the world Great that you drink a lot of water. 80oz! That's awesome. I should drink more, I know. It's easy to forget...Exactly, exactly, exactly! I don't understand why some kitties can keep a very consistent 70~90 BGs all day all night, whereas others, like Mikan, go up and down like a busy elevator
I'm still trying to figure out how I can maximize my sleep time!

I use an app to track my water intake. It's the only thing that I've found that works for me. And now, because I'm slightly competitive, I have such a long streak of hitting my goal, that if I'm not there by the end of the day, I make myself drink water to hit said goal. I'm usually pretty good, but sometimes have to get that extra glass of water in.Oh no
