yesterday
Amps 368 Contour Next
Libre unavailable as Ivy pulled it off :banghead:
Well….
Yesterday began with some lower numbers for many hours to then bounce and or lose duration up to pinks later in the afternoon. She tends to have this pattern when going lower in a cycle.
Pm cycle was as expected since I fed 12.5% food for her meal and snacks since I was out to dinner. She came down to yellow and blue later in the cycle after the carbs were off.

First thing this morning, I thought something was weird as I wasn’t getting readings on the Libre and Ivy didn’t come to greet me when it was time to eat.
So I went downstairs to find her and saw that she had pulled her Libre off somehow. (I guess she’s been talking to Tiger and taking lessons).
She’s never done that before with her tee or tank top on so that was very odd.
It must’ve really been bothering her. Luckily I don’t use glue so even though she pulled it off her skin was red, (but if there had been glue used as the vets do, It really would’ve been bad news).
I tested her with the Contour Next meter and she was high pink, no problem with giving insulin and then we installed the new Libre.

Thank goodness I don’t go to the vet to have this done and I keep them in the house so I’m ready to go at the moment’s notice.
She’s high in pinks right now and hoping she will come down and see what today brings.
Hope things get better as the day goes on. Yesterday was insane around here with the Painters still here. We then realized we had a leak in the basement and carpeting got wet so we’re dealing with that. When it rains it pours.
Oh, and we need a new furnace, so that’s being installed on Tuesday. Plus I have a contractor coming tomorrow to do some work in my pantry, doing some reconfiguration there.
If Ivy is “off”, I certainly understand… because my head is about to pop off with all the craziness going on.
Hope you all have a much calmer day than I have been having the past week :cat:
 
Good meowning Staci and Ivy!

I'm just catching up meow cause I missed all the posts yesterday due to work and after I got home I was exhausted after 4 busy flights.
I'm glad you got away for your weekly dinner date yesterday cause it's so important we take care of ourselves too.
But it sounds like your hands are full. I'm sorry Ivy pulled her Libre sensor off but glad she didn't cause any damage to herself while doing so. Poor little monkey. She must be stressed with everything that's going on inside the house. Purrrrhaps that is also why her numbers are a bit higher?

I hope you can take some time today to relax, maybe a nice bath and a face mask :joyful: if that's your thing or a good book and a cup of tea :bookworm::coffee:?

Either way boys and I wish you a nice and relaxing Sunday :cat::bighug::cat:

Hi Karolina, thank you for the support. I really appreciate it.:kiss:
I sure hope you get to relax today. Boy, I’m usually exhausted after one flight let alone you being on four flights in one day, that sounds unbearable.
You must have incredible stamina to do that job and the people on planes are just nuts. o_O
I’m sure you’ve seen it all.:rolleyes:

Yes, my little monkey, somehow contorted herself to pull that darn sensor off even while covered. :banghead:She must’ve been very determined to do that.
No time for rest today… way too much to do. But if she cooperates, I’m sure I will sleep very well tonight. :smuggrin:
Hope you have a relaxing day with your sweet boys And a safe surf for Nestle, of course :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hi Staci :)
Looks like Ivy is learning new tricks. Cheeky girl :joyful: I can imagined your anxiety in the morning. Im happy it was only her taking the Libre off.
Is her appetite restored?
How was your dinner last night?

Sounds like you have a lot of movement in the house. I know Ivy doesn't like it. I hope she's not suffering too much for it.

I hope you can get some rest today so your head doesn't pop off :banghead:

Sending much love :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hi Staci,
What a morning! Ivy was busy getting the thing off this morning :rolleyes:
Good thing that you noticed immediately and was able to manage it! So well done :)
Hope the rest of the day will be more relaxing ;)
Happy Sunday to you and sweet (and rebellious :p) Ivy girl! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Vet gave me a onesie for me to consider a Freestyle... I'm going to put it on her to see if she'll wear it. :eek:
lol. Let me know how she does with the onsie. She may not need her entire body covered but let’s see how she does.
If you get it, get the Libre 3 (not the 14 day or the Libre 2).
Then you can follow her on your phone and you don’t have to physically go scan her (a real pain in the butt and you can’t see it on an app on your phone, which you will want).

Hi Kit, it’s sure been quite a day. Ivy is a rebellious girl. Always has been. Good thing we love her so much. :p
Hope you’ve had a good day. I’ll check in on you to see how the day went :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Shelly, thanks for the much appreciated love. Sending some back your way :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Dinner was so nice last night. The place we went really isn’t that far. Not sure why I haven’t been there in ages. But it’s back on the list. One of our favorites.
How was pizza night for you?

Yes our girl Ivy is certainly cheeky. She is one to put me through my paces even at 5:30 in the morning :banghead:
And it’s been nonstop since. Had to fr with water damage from a leak (which will now require carpeting to be pulled out and new flooring so one more project.

Since Ivy stays in the basement in a different room(from the water damage but the next room over), I decided she can’t stay down there while there’s mold or anything nasty going on from water damage. So I had to relocate her up to my bedroom along with litter box and everything.
So that’s going to be quite a challenge for her to move in with mom and dad, and all her junk. The fun just never ends. :banghead::banghead:

New routines big in in an hour for meal time and shot time in a new location. Ugh. She will be confused. Send good vibes my way, please.

I hope you and the boys had a great day and are having a relaxing evening now. Hope you have a great upcoming week:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
What a crazy day and a naughty girl! I wonder how she will adjust to the new accommodations? Looks like she is headed back up after hitting some green. That Libre gives some crazy numbers (last night yellow blue yellow blue) but chalk them up to meter variance. Still....

I’m actually thinking she needs a dose increase tomorrow. Today was six cycles after the FS but I know no one likes to increase at night. How would you feel about popping up 0.25u to 3.5u?

Gosh what a pain with the flooding and the furnace and the painting contractors. I’m pulling my hair out for you! Hang in there.

Hi Marje, it has been quite a day that began at 5:30 am with insanity. And hasn’t stopped.

We pulled up carpet, removed padding and treated the concrete below.
I don’t want to leave her in the basement until all is cleaned and repaired and put back together. She’s usually in an adjacent room to the room that had damage but I’m afraid if there’s any mold or anything bad in the air I don’t want her around it so I’m gonna have to keep her out of the basement and relocate her.

She’s really pissed off, she just loves her little Ivy suite.
She wouldn’t eat her dinner so I’ve been trying to hand feed her just to get food into her so I’m gonna have to make sure she’s eating.
I’d like to give her a dose increase, but I wanna make sure I can get food into her.
I guess I’ll see what happens tonight and again in the morning. If she doesn’t seem happy for her food and it’s gonna be a struggle to get her to eat again, I may put it off a day just to be safe.
Does that seem like a good plan?

I certainly didn’t expect this turn of events to throw an additional whammy into my dosing situation.
When it rains it pours! Thanks for the support!!
:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
I can't imagine juggling all the balls you've got going on at the moment. :eek:

Miss Ivy has certainly been busy! Glad she didn't damage herself in her efforts. I find it interesting she didn't come to greet you - like she knew pulling it off wasn't good. Has her appetite improved?

On the bright side, you had a nice dinner out and some sleep before more calamities arose! :D I know, I know. I'll find the door and show myself out.

I know. As soon as she didn’t greet me, my instinct kicked in “something is wrong”. We do know our cats and their routines.

And yes, some days you just feel defeated. This was one of those weeks. But one foot in front of the other. All I can do. :blackeye:
 
Hi Staci, sorry you have so much going on. I hope Ivy gets used to being in your room and will eat well. I'm sure after everything is done in your house she'll get back to normal.
Ivy must have been watching the movie Houdini when she took her libre off :p. Nice to see her down to blues this morning 2-19, I peeked at your SS .:bighug::bighug::bighug::cat:

I am just catching up on the news … what a stressful time this has been and continues to be in your household. I hope you can shake it off by stepping up the lovely dinners and other treats that remind you of how great it will be when the chaos subsides and life gets back to normal! :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
