Rocket & his Mom
Member Since 2010
hi dear LL Family,
I know i don't post often, I do try with all my might to check condos but with my hectic life it's not always possible to stay in touch....but do know that i keep you all in my thoughts and prayers....
keeping BJM in my prayers
Life with Rocket is pretty challenging...as most of you know (and i realize there are lots of new kitties on the board) his med schedule plus my work schedule leaves me with very little sleep on a daily basis....we have had ups/down with Rocket....lots of hits/misses on his food intake (mainly due to his CRF)....
he is still waking me up in the wee hrs but not always as i have my alarm to ensure i get up to give a snack and subq fluids....if not he definetely reminds me i have slept thru my alarm (mainly on weekends :lol: )
i still come home at lunch from work...i take the bus back home and if Darren comes home at lunch it allows me a good 15 mins home before he drops me off back at work...if not then it only gives me 7 mins to feed both kids (Rocket and Comet) before i turn around and take the bus back to work....i don't consider it a sacrifice nor do i complain for doing it...it gives me reassurance that they're both ok especially Rocket as he sometimes doesn't eat a thing in the span of 6 hrs :sad: and with insulin and other meds in his system he NEEDS food even if it's me giving it to him at lunch.....
on Feb 9 I rushed him to the ER but after all was said and done he was sent home with no treatment....and so i continue to watch him like a hawk....and he is still keeping his weight which is GOOD ;-) and SOOOOOO antijinx!
on Feb 10 we took Comet (the dog) to see the cardiologist....long story short...he is OK for now but will have problems down the road as per the vet....with my already busy schedule with Rocket i have neglected to even look into all the terminology the cardio vet gave me...and i think i'm taking it for granted that he said "will develop it down the road...for a long time yet".....so i guess i'm slacking with him and i certainly hope it doesn't become an issue any time soon....Comet also hasn't lost weight so he seems stable as well (ANTIJINX)
i will for sure try to update his SS....just yesterday i decided to up his dose to 3u as his numbers were creeping up....now at 3u i will have to keep a closer eye on him dropping like a stone...

i treasure every day i have with Rocket and though i'm tired as hell i will eventually have time for sleep...but i hope it's not for a long long time....
that's it that's that for us here....i wish it was more exciting news....
oh...by the way.......just call me the ROADRUNNER....some of you already know i gave myself that nickname....i don't know whether i'm coming or going....
keeping all beans and kitties in my thoughts and prayers....do know that i do...even if i don't post in your condos...i hope you understand....
