337 - today's amps

Last nite was uneventful and even R at mid-cycle did little. I guess she was just not in the mood to play, so she stuck to her pinks.

Shadoe was on my hip this morning, making sure she knew when I got up. That usually means we are not going to get any pretty number at amps. She went to her catnip plant to nibble while she waited for test and shoot time. LB already had a deposit; she's a bit loose this morn; I'll keep an eye on how those changes go.

She's had a bit of breakfast, and is sitting on her pillow, settled in for the morn.
This morning is cycle2 on this dose, so I suppose the shed's filling and I'll use that as the excuse.

One more sleep till we get her IGF-1 results; I'll stop there after work today maybe, just to 'remind' them to call about the results and not too early then wait till the lab has closed to call again.

Shadoe gets another quiet day; no testing till pm shot time.

You must be really young Gayle. I don't see much sleep time for yourself looking at your spreadsheet. But you are doing a good job with Shadoe. Keep on keeping on..

Have a good day!

Dyana,
Sleep is for the young and the weak haha_smiley
After many years of working shift work and double shifts, your body learns to just do as it's told.
Also, your body heals and mends broken parts in the body when you sleep, so once you get old enough, the body starts to slack off and it gets tired of fixing the same things over and over, things slide, and you need less sleep! haha_smiley The body starts to say, "Ok I have fixed this many times before, so I refuse to fix it again!"

When it comes to sleep, I think everyone tries to catch some bean naps here and there to get by. Even with chopped up sleep, it's better than nothing.

I am willing to bet that you are just as dedicated as I am :smile:
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe amps 337 +1~261

Good morning Gayle
Nice that you caught that yellow today.
I can only imagine how frustrtaing yesterday was with Shadoe's numbers.
Tomorrow can't come soon enough to got those results.
Your Shadoe is one tough cookie who enjoys this tug of war with you.
You are getting amazing help and support here and I know that is comfort for you.
I cannot imagine what we would all do without this board. We cannot rely
on our own vets to help us out.
Hoping for a better day today.

Morning Gayle,
Nice to see some improvement. Remember it can take a few cycles for dry, even though it was only a little bit, to work it's way out so she could do that flatline pink thing again. Just shoot through it. :)

I am exhausted just reading this. :lol:
Coming down nicely to yellow.
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe amps 337 +1~261

Nice yellow Shadoe....
I totally understand what your body is saying about the repairing... :lol:
I should have gone in for the 200,000 miles overhaul but missed the appointment.
Hope you have a good day Gayle!! :razz:
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe amps 337 +1~261 pmps 259

I am wondering what happened during the day today; it looks like her numbers paused while I was at work!

Shadoe did eat almost all of her food in the feeder, but as usual, that last bowl has some left as she takes afternoon naps. There was no LB action during the day, but she made a good deposit this morn before I left for the day.

She does a bit subdued, but maybe she's trying to adjust to this odd low pmps number. She's been yellow only a couple times at pmps and once was during her p-titis attack.
She better like it because I sure do!

Ok the usual routine is the plan for tonite: hourly tests till the R fizzles, or she stops dropping or I get too tired haha_smiley

Only one more sleep till test results tomorrow; I am so anxious. I feel like I should take a vacation day and sit in the vets office till the get the results!
I won't; that would be agony.
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe amps 337 +1~261 pmps 259 +1~265

Looking great Shadoe!!

Tomorrow's the big day huh? Hope it comes back with very good results.

Shadoe's been doing very well, but I hope u can catch up on some sleep too, dont wanna wear urself out.
:-D
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe amps 337 +1~261 pmps 259 +1~265 +2~191

So, we have some bloo tonite, but Shadoe sure seems to be quiet; maybe she is feeling weird and plans to wait it out till she can get back to her comfy pinks haha_smiley

I am not surprised either. I can imagine that Shadoe has to get used to this feeling, and it will take a bit of time.
Kinda like breaking in a new pair of shoes; they feel stiff and wrong after replacing the fuzzy slippers, but the more you wear the new shoes, the more it feels OK.

Yeah, Ronnie I will try to have an earlier bedtime tonite because I want to be wide awake for my trip to the vets. I'll just need to test after the R to see that she levels off
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe amps 337 +1~261 pmps 259 +1~265 +2~191

191!!! Beautiful Shadoe!!! Hopefully she will get comfy in blue. And then green.
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe pmps 259 +1~265 +2~191 +3~164

Shadoe may be surfing in the bloos, but she is sooo not comfy. She's just laid back and sleeping with her eyes half open, resting but not relaxed. She's quite purry, but when I pick her up, all her nails come out. It's like she is drunk on good numbers and is all tipsy.

We will see how much lower she drops but I am not expecting much more; she's slowed down already.
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe pmps 259 +4~194 -more R at mid cycle?

Shadoe is already on her way up, so do I wait and see, or give .5R at +5 to try and keep her in bloos?
Is there an advantage to force to stay in bloo for longer?
Does it help her to get used to the lower numbers sooner?

Just see his loooooooonnng SS!
Good luck tomorrrow and try to have some sleep!
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe pmps 259 +4~194 -more R at mid cycle?

Yay for bloo! It's great to see Shadoe in all of these new colors. Shadoe is looking quite fab these days. :mrgreen:
 
Re: 3/4 Shadoe pmps 259 +4~194 -more R at mid cycle?

I'm not sure about giving Shadoe mid-cycle R on a blue number. :? I understand where you're coming from, that it might keep the bounce under control and keep her lower for longer. To me, though, it seems like a big leap to R a number this low when you haven't before. Hopefully someone with R experience will stop by soon.

The testing would interfere with your pre-vet good night's sleep, yes?
 
Thanks Libby,
I did go with .5R with Shadoe at +5 when her number was pink or red, but nothing was said about what to do when lower.
As expected, she is on her way up now, and she is also acting happier.
I get the feeling that bloos are very uncomfortable still, but she IS getting more relaxed with yellows.
jojo had a post awhile back talking about sliding scales, and basing how much R if any, on the number. I don't have any guideline like that but it would help with decisions.

I don't expect any numbers lower, so we may as well call it a nite and head to bed.
 
Hi Gayle
This was a very nice night for Shadoe. She stayed blue for quite sometime.
Certainly can't help you with anything about the R but I would get a good nights sleep,
have a very good breakfast with the kitties and go an kick some vet b-t!!
Shadoe will learn in time to stay more in the blues and yellows and hopefully the greens.

Wishing the results go well tomorrow. You know we are all watching.
 
hi gayle. you're probably sound asleep, but wanted to stop by to say hi and wish you well tomorrow.
we'll all be with you in spirit... and anxiously waiting for you to post.
:YMHUG:
