Wearing my patience pants today. I'm honestly really discouraged. I feel like I'm losing time to get Bell into remission here, but I also recognize I'm doing everything I can and the last step is up to her. I think I got my hopes up with that really good stretch in September. I am super appreciative of all the reminders and support from this forum. You all are so kind and patient and positive to me. :bighug:

I missed the urine sample twice today, ugh, so no ketone reading yet. I will keep trying, but I think I will take Heike's suggestion and grab a meter. One positive reminder (mostly to myself) is that we are around 2 months out from Bell's last anal gland rupture. I don't want to jinx it, but that is the longest stretch we've had since her first one. I don't know how I'd deal with her going through surgery right now. Extremely thankful for that.
 
This is cute and all, Bell, but let's not make it a habit of hiding in the dryer

I know it can feel discouraging sometimes, but remember Bell is more than her numbers. Take it from someone who has been doing this for 8 years, you sometimes just need to recognize there’s only so much you can control in this dance, and the rest is up to the cat. That doesn’t mean you aren’t doing all you can, both can be true at the same time :bighug: Sending extra chin scritches for Bell.
 
Thanks so much Christie. I know a lot of you folks have been dealing with much harder situations for way way longer than I have, so I feel really bad venting. It’s hard for my brain sometimes to separate the results from the process.
 
Christie beat me to it. You are doing all you can and it is really up to Bell to do the rest. I "only" did the feline diabetes dance for 5 years but I was battling a pituitary tumour that caused the diabetes (and more), and did all I could, but it won. Knowing I couldn't do anything more didn't stop me from having pity parties. I think the majority of us here would do what we can for our cats. It's what makes us a family.

Thank you, Wendy, means a lot
 
Hi Seth,

I can imagine these numbers suck. But you are doing everything right and Bell does benefit from it. Even though you are used to get better numbers. And we need to vent sometimes. It is an exhausting disease and very often without instant gratification. Hope you can catch some urine. Small victorys keep the spirits up. Keep on breathing. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
