I hope everyone has a good day and kisses and prayers for all the kitties that aren't feeling well
♥

 

How exciting!!! Yay for day 1!

 

Happy Day 1! Go Tyler!

 

Congratulations on starting the trial! So happy for you and Tyler

 

Thank you

 

Are you giving a drop dose? It's not an OTJ Trial if you're giving any insulin.

 

Oh sh*t I forgot I'll fix it Yes I did the drop dose

 

Don't worry about it. You can start the trial tonight. It's really hard to stop giving insulin and stop testing.

 

Whether or not you started the trial, Tyler sure does look amazing!!! Give him some lovin' from me.
Have a wonderful day, Diane

 

False alarm everyone I'm doing a drop dose first

 

@carfurby Can I continue with the drop dose , I'd like to do that , see that's why I need you checking up on me

Morning Lyla I was so nervous that I screwed up
I want to do the drop dose first
@Butters & Lyla

 

Morning Diane congratulations on the drop dose. Tyler is almost there how exciting

 

Morning Adrienne , lets see if that drop went in lol

 

I am ready to cheer you on, when you are ready!!! Looking great regardless

 

Tyler just gave me the stink eye and called me a screw up

 

Gotta get ready to go for blood work for myself
I have high potassium , I drink this stuff twice a week for it.
It will come back in the normal range some times and then next time out of range
Been like this for the past maybe 2 or 3 years
I have never had anything out of range before other than my thyroid which I take meds for
How the hell did I get high potassium in the first place
My kidneys are fine, had every test for it.
I must be turning into a cat
I will be back so I can post on everyones condo

 

Yes you can continue the drop dose. Make sure you keep the plunger pressed in for a few seconds while the syringe is inserted to make sure the insulin goes into Tyler. It will seem like there is nothing there.

 

...so funny. You were just doing a quick warm up and making sure everyone is set & ready to go !! Roll call

 

Hilarious!

Hope your blood work comes back ok. Good luck, Diane.

 

This was the best condo lol.

laughed very loudly at this

Hope your own bloodwork goes smoothly and can't wait for CWS to subside

 

Oh I'm keeping that sucker in there for quite a few seconds
Thanks Carla ♥
@carfurby

 

S

Susanne what's CWS

 

lol, it's from @Deb & Wink yesterday - Caregiver Withdrawal Syndrome

 

Oh yeah, duh, that's what I have

 

Should get my blood work back in 2 days. It better be in the normal range
Then in about 2 weeks back again to get my thyroid re checked
He had to lower my dose , so this is just to see if it's good

Pain in the butt
Thanks guys

 

Prayers

 

well showing up late for roll call, but here nonetheless.
hope your own dr appt went well, diane.
good luck w <insert your plan here>

 

Yes indeedy. You sure do have a case of CWS (Caregiver Withdrawal Syndrome).

It's ok to test more when you do go from the 1 drop dose to an OTJ trial. There is nothing to say you only need to test at AMPS (AMBG) and PMPS (PMBG) when you are on an OTJ trial. You test as often as makes you feel comfortable. You'll worked long and hard over the last 2+ years to get Tyler where he is today.

Sometimes, when we have become such "testaholics", it's so hard to convince ourselves it's ok to do less BG testing. You'll probably end up tapering off on the testing over an extended period of time.

p.s. For the drop dose, I would practice with a used syringe and some colored water. Draw up the tiniest amount of colored water in the syringe, and then twist the plunger very slowly, to squeeze out drops. When your very last drop is on the tip of the needle, you pull back on the plunger to "suck up" that last tiny drop back into the syringe.

When it's for real, do the same technique with the insulin. Then dose as you normally would, pressing down on the plunger to get that tiny drop into Tyler.

Sending best wishes for good blood work results for yourself Diane.

 

Hi, hello, just here to say that we are reporting in for the roll call.
Better late than never, right.
I hope your blood work goes well, Diane.
Have you checked yourself for a tail? That might be a sure indication that you are in fact turning into a cat.

 

Hey Deb , Yep I got a bad case of the CWS I should make a song about. Maybe I will title it I got a bad case of the CWS Blues
This morning when I did the drop dose I pushed down on the plunger really hard
then put it in the pen and then just let go of the plunger and removed it.
Gave him the shot and pushed on the plunger pretty hard and left it in him for about 5 seconds. I guess he got it going by his numbers after the AMPS

I will try it with the water also. , I'll see how it goes tonight
Thanks Deb and have a good night

 

Evening Lyla, I was drinks coffee while reading this and almost spit it out
about growing a tail
Give Butters a big wet one for me . I hope you get some rest tonight ♥

 

OR his cute pancreas is doing it's thang
