Well, today has just been sheer weirdness in Binkstown.
Was supposed to pick the Momster up at 5 am to take her to meet some family for coffee...
thought it was odd that she asked me to drive, cuz she hates the zoom zoom-
prefers her Monte Carlo with the huge racing engine (a must-have for every tiny 81 yr old woman). :lol:
She didnt answer the door, or answer my cell when I called, so ran back to the house, got my spare keys,
and when i went in, she was sitting in the hallway in front of the bookcase.
She insists that she was looking for a book to take to my cousin, but she seemed very shaky & a little confused.
When I finally got in there, it was 15 after 5am, and you have to understand- I can count the number of times this woman
has been late for ANYTHING in 40 years on one hand. Not sure what is going on with her.

So, distracted, I pulled a real faux pas with Binks' shot...the needle was slightly bent when i opened the wrapper,
but i straightened it and used it anyway (even tho I have 2 full boxes of needles)
...and when i shot, part of the insulin came out of the base of the needle. :oops:

so again, I'm not sure what his dose was this am.

4 of 5 p's so far...

guess we'll see where he goes...

and this seems like a fitting pic today :-D

Sorry to hear about your mom - did she make the coffee date? Does she seem better now?

Just call it a fur shot, and knowing Binks, he'll just chug along on the green train anyway :mrgreen: cat_pet_icon
 
Celi,
That REALLY worries me - PLEASE take her to the doctor and have them check her for mini strokes. They can be stopped. That is exactly what my DMIL did and we let it slide. We shouldn't have....

Hugs sweet Binksy....what beautiful green you have today!
 
Celi, I agree with Lyresa. Anne is a real expert in these things but she's not here right now. Will be soon though. I'll send you a pm with our phone number. Please call if you want to ask questions. Anne is great at explaining medical stuff.

Celi, I hope your mom is feeling better. You should take her to the doctor. It's probably nothing but the early hour, but it's good to get these unusual things checked out.

As for the needle--you ought to know better!!! I hope some insulin got in, but Binks will be fine even if it didn't.

Hope the rest of your day improves!

Celi, definitely take her to the doctor. I agree with Lyresa...it could be a mini-stroke (TIA) or even a seizure or a host of other things that mimic those symptoms. Please update when you can.

No worries with Binks. He seems to be doing fine even with the mishap with the insulin.
 
Hope Mom is doing better.....did you take her to the Dr?

Binks will be fine......and straightening a bent needle??!!!!! :o :o :roll: :mrgreen:

Still nice start to the day for Binksy!!!!

Hope you have a good weekend........
 
Celi: I am worried about your momster, too. I hope you were able to get it checked out. And I hope she is fine.

Well...Binksy is so consistent and regular that I doubt you have much to worry about on him and the bent needle.

Please let us know how your mom is doing.
