Good Morning, Everyone
Ann (Tess) and Lisa (Do Lou) celebrated their 2-year anniversaries on FDMB earlier this month and I am celebrating mine today. I remember vividly how scared I was when Stu's body almost gave out after having been switched to Lantus and improperly dosed for several months by his vet. I found this board on 1/11/2010 and began my education. Stu's diabetes and his general outlook on life improved greatly over the months. But other, serious, health issues emerged in the summer, resulting in his journey to the Bridge in September of that year. Rusty became a member of our household in November 2010. Many of you know his story. I am still working on becoming educated in feline diabetes--learning something new every day from the great people on this board. As I begin my 3rd year here, I want to thank you all for being here with us through tough times and times of joy.
Rusty is starting out today wearing green. We lost a few tiny drops of insulin last night in the partial fur shot, but this morning's shot of the new dose (fat 1.50) was successful. Rusty enjoyed 2 sittings of Wellness Turkey and has retired to his cushion by the radiator. In a little while we'll play some of his new games with his new toys.
The weather today is "seasonable", but a big storm is on the way for tomorrow. It's coming from the south, so the snow will mix with sleet and freezing rain. Not ideal, but at least we'll get a larger base of snow for x-country skiing/snowshoeing. Hopefully the ice build-up will be minimal. I was thrilled to get my new snowshoes yesterday, 24 hours after I had ordered them!!! (with "standard" shipping, even!). I'll try them out this morning in the yard. This afternoon Edward and I have our annual appointment with the dermatologist in Potsdam (70-mile trip), so Rusty will hold the fort and get his +9 snack in his automat.
Wishing you all a good day, and sending healing vines to all kitties and beans who need them. Feel better soon!
