We've had a pretty good start to the day so far....Trix is still green and she's eating pretty well, but still insists on room service. She seems so much "brighter" than she was last week...her eyes look like HER eyes, if you know what I mean. I really hope she decides that eating enough fuds without me coaxing her is cool soon.
Last night, though, my anxiety resurfaced. I always have an issue with my anxiety peaking at night - I think it's somehow related to the darkness. Anyway, to me, she seemed a bit "off", so I was worried, which made me hover, which made her annoyed....vicious cycle! I finally forced myself to go to sleep at 12:30, so she had almost 5 MamaBean-free hours, and when I woke up this morning, she seemed more Trixie-like. She may not have been feeling great last night, and I was probably compounding the problem. I'm trying very hard to not worry and to step back and give her some breathing room...but, as I'm sure all of you know, it's not always easy to do!
I was a little clumsy with her gelcap this morning. She was looking all sweet and bright-eyed and innocent and trusting as I approached her. It took about 5 tries this morning...I felt bad for squashing her happy mood, but I did give her a bit of baby food to make up for it.
Today will be interesting...it will be her first totally bean-free full workday since all this started. I have to work the store by myself, so I can't come home and check on her. If I felt it was really necessary, I'm sure DH would come home, but she does seem to be feeling good, so I'm going to try to give her this break from having us in her face. I'll leave fuds out...although now Frankie and Zen have decided to snack from her plate, so I don't always know who is eating it. Of course before this, they would have nothing to do with Trix's fuds :roll: ...
Tricia had an interesting theory that maybe some of the higher numbers we saw last week were related to the cypro. I hadn't thought of that, but interestingly, we've been green now for the last three pre-"shot" tests. Will it continue? We shall see? We're approaching almost 3 weeks with no insulin :shock: ...
Time for another round of breffis, then a workout. Sending tons of prayers and our deepest condolences out to Rich today, as he mourns the passing of his sweet, handsome Rex....
Have a great day, LL!

ETA...Frankie's bloodwork looks good, although her calcium is just a tad elevated. We have to take her back for a urine draw (she was "empty" on Saturday...of course!) to make sure she doesn't have calcium oxolate crystals. Vetty isn't overly concerned, but knows how I am and wants to be sure. It's just something to keep tabs on.

Paws crossed for a better gelcap experience tonight.
