Nothing unusual to report here....Trix's pancreas continues to keep me guessing, so what else is new? If she would stay in high numbers, I'd know she needed juice; if she would stay in low numbers, I'd know she's solidly OTJ...instead, it's a daily game of "Let's see if Trix's pancreas can make MamaBean a little more crazy" :lol: ! Ah, that's my girl...I wouldn't want her to do anything that wasn't in her own style. I don't know what I think of this "+3" ...
She's feeling great today...happy appy, super snuggly, easy gelcap....the whole nine yards. And, I do believe we had a happy crap dash this morning, although I can't say that for 100% sure. I was in the laundry room prepping her gelcap when I hear something. I went to investigate, thinking the civvies must have been scuffling. What I found was a rather wide-eyed Trixie scurrying about a bit. I checked the boxes, and sure enough there were Trixie nuggets in one of them. So, I'm pretty she what I heard was her post-poop glee as she ran about the second floor of the house :lol: !!
My Dad is doing OK, but I can tell that one of the meds affects his mood. My business partner's husband is on the same med (it's a steroid, dexamethasone), and I've known for years that his "dex days" are challenging. I'm seeing that with my Dad, too. His dex is "pulsed" - on for a few days, then suddenly ended. This causes huge mood swings. Things that bother him that he usually internalizes bubble to the surface. I can handle it, I can understand it...but others in the family are caught off guard, and that makes things worse. It's my brother and SIL again, and I'm mediating again, just to keep things as settled as possible. I'm desperately trying to get each side to see the other side, but it's like talking to a bunch of brick walls. But, I have to keep doing it, otherwise I'm afraid it will turn into an explosive situation that will cause permanent damage. Big sigh.
With that....it's my day off, and I've got tons of errands to run. Have a great day, LL!
