Hi everybody!
I just thought I would pop in for a Caturday report. Lucy is still doing great - I test her roughly once a month, and last week she was still hanging in the 60s. Good girl! We are approaching 3 years OTJ, which makes me a little nervous because it seems like 3 years is when a lot of cats come back from the Falls, but so far she is hanging in there just fine.
I've seen some of the comments about tight regulation, and I have to say that I would give ANYTHING if I could take back the mess I made of Lucy's first 7 months on insulin. I thought she was going to die and that it would be my fault because I couldn't figure out how to use insulin. I'm so grateful to have found LL and some people who said "sure, we can help. Here is what YOU have to do." My goal at the time was just to try to get her to live to the age of 6. Now she is 9.5 years old and almost 3 years OTJ. I don't care that I missed a few months of good sleep - Lucy is alive and well and I would do it all again in a heartbeat (and I guess I did do it all again when I got Jazzy!).
I miss Jazzy a lot, but her death has freed up space for me to do some fostering for Siamese Rescue. Here are my current girls, a bonded pair of sisters who lost their home due to domestic violence.
Chloe and Bailey's album
They are so, so sweet and fun. I love them and can't wait to find them their furever home. Lucy can't wait for them to find their furever home either (three divas in one house is a bit too much and she wants them gone! LOL!).
Sorry I can't be around as much as I would like, but I do lurk and try to pop in when I can. Between my job and having 5 cats in the house, I'm stretched pretty thin but I think of you all the time and I hope I can get back soon.
