Yesterday
As we work on continuing to figure out the new rules to the game, since we now have fluids and ABs in the mix, I had to shoot a huge BCS this morning; I shot 1.00U instead of her current 2.25U (which was an extra big reducie I took yesterday as a result of her plummet into the 30s on Sunday evening). I have to work today, AND, I have the store by myself which means I can't come home to check on her. I leave the house at +4. DH will come home at lunch time to test and make sure all is well; that will be +6, and that is the only other time we're able to test. Since at the moment my mostly-predictable kitty is not so predictable, I don't know if and when she'll really drop...I wanted to shoot something, but was afraid to shoot too much with that rather unexpected AMPS.
I am really kicking myself for not testing her after +4 last night. She seemed nice and flat, and if she is flat by +4 she is usually good to go. I know the game is different now so I should have known better than to take her flatness for granted last night...but I was so physically and emotionally exhausted that once my eyes closed, I was dead weight....I couldn't move. As always, I did leave a snack out for her, and she is good about feeding herself when she drops. Fortunately, it doesn't look like she dropped TOO low, but I will set off every alarm in the house for sleep-testing if I have to so I don't wake up to surprises like this AMPS again.
Today she is feeling and acting like 100% radiantly normal Trixie....if I didn't know it and you told me her BW was so whacked the other day, I never in a million years would have believed it. Yesterday morning, she seemed like she was about 90%...almost herself, but not quite. Today, it's just all Trixie. She was waiting for me outside my bedroom door when I got up. She sat on the arm of the computer chair with me while I spent a few minutes waking up and checking e-mail before we started the day. She scurried into the laundry room with me, where I prep their meals, in hopes of finding a dropped, lost kibble on the floor. She was happy to eat her blechy Wellness/BFF mix, as long as I kept the FortiFlora coming. All part of our daily routine, all normal Trixie behavior. LIke yesterday, I dozed on the couch after her shot, rather than doing a BTB, and she came for snuggles.
Our first fluids run last night was a success. Of course it helped that she is such a helpful little kitty who just hung out and looked around during the process. She's equally as helpful for tests and shots...such a good girl.
I'm going to attempt a few more phone calls to see if I can track down fluids by the case, but I have a feeling that, at least for now, they're going to have to come from my vet thanks to this frightening shortage.
It's just about time to get ready for work...I could use some Zs, but since that isn't an option, my door is wide open for sweet Elsa
!
My brain and emotions are starting to settle, so hopefully I can manage a few more condo visits today. I have had everyone in my thoughts, even if I haven't posted in your condo. My LL family is amazing...I don't know where Trix and I would be without you :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: .
