G'morning :)

Jonesy has given me a lovely blue this morning, first one in days, me likey!

He's tired of all the poking, so I'm going to do some random tests throughout the day, rather than a true curve. He's earned it. We're also back on schedule re shoot-time, so that's nice. It's been awhile . . .

I've been forgetting to mention, he's playing now! Be still my heart :joyful: For those who don't know, Jonesy was my outdoor feral who I'd fed/sheltered outside for 3 years. Just this past summer he allowed me to finally touch him. After a couple months of earning his trust, I scooped him up and he's been inside ever since.

But I believe, due to the rough life he lived outside (always having to watch his back) I don't believe he's ever truly played before. Now he will bat around the balls and springs I have littering my dining room floor. He's a beaten up, scarred, chonky boy with a limp, and to watch him just Get Goofy with silly cat toys . . . well, it does a heart good! :p

Off to get working on packing stuff up. Have a great day everyone!

Bummer . . . he's sailed up from the blues, through the sunshine yellow and is hovering in the Grinchy greens . . . Just another 10 more days till your dental buddy, hang in there :(

Oh, I did give him sub-q fluids today also. He's such a champ sitting for them :joyful:
 
So I'm looking through his spreadsheet and I'm wondering why I'm not still giving him 1.25? Anybody know what was going on in my head??? LOL ('Cause *I* sure don't know . . . )

I'm sure I would have been freaking out about those blues, and now as I look back at them I think "Why did I decrease?? Those blues are GORGEOUS!" HA!

I look back to Feb 18th, and when he was at 79 I stalled. Should I have SHOT at that time? Then monitored? I think THIS is my biggest weakness (for lack of a better term), shooting the low numbers. I know the phrase "Shoot Low to STAY Low", and I try to practice it . . . but I've no confidence.

(Put me in a business situation when a client or my boss is asking me questions, I'm BURSTING with confidence! LOL But not when it comes down to the wellbeing of my beaten up, scarred, sometimes-pee-on-his butt-end, chonk boy ;) )

Could any of you that fully understand TR, please look at his spreadsheet and give me your thoughts as to whether or not we should go up to 1.25?

Thanks!

I combined your two posts today. We prefer just one post per cat to day, to help declutter the forum. ;) First a favour to ask, on the AM of the 21st, your spreadsheet has a 106 coloured green. Ahem!

OK, the dose. If you are following TR, you hold doses giving you greens for 10 cycles or 5 days. Today is day 9. You could increase. However, a couple of considerations. I would do the increase when you can monitor well. The 1.0 unit dose has taken him down to the 50's, so there's not a lot of room to increase if you cannot monitor. Second, tomorrow is cycle six after his last greens. Might be a bounce clearing time, so I'd wait at least until the PM, especially if you are working tomorrow.
