I suspect she will read hi on the meter sometime in the next 24hrs. its really too bad at this point in her life...to have such swings.

Prediction correct. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

amps=266
+9.5 =hi

And OF COURSE I had to work today... 8am-5pm with a 15 minute visit to get that test. Thats her +2-+11.

Im just so mad!

I left the air on for her all day...starting at 8am. Was probably the only one in the city with their air on at this time of day. I did it so she would stay cool while I was gone, since I wouldnt be home to turn it on when it started getting hot. Of course, where did I find her when I got home?!?! Ya! The hottest place in the apt...no where near the a/c rooms. ohmygod_smile

No, she does not feel good tonight from what I can tell. And now she is just set up for another large drop with the consequences of a bounce...because I, yet again will not be around to make sure she eats at the right times. Let the viscious cycle continue.

One year ago tonight I rushed Latte to the ER vet after vomiting 8 times and liquid poo 5 times in a 4hr period. They gave her a steroid injection and sent me home with the pred. We had a wonderful summer, with me NOT having to syringe feed her for the first time in almost a year. Then came the FD.... :YMSIGH: I certainly hope tonight turns out to be a little different.

So ya, something positive right?!?!?! :roll: My bike will be fixed in about a week. I have always been a very avid rider, climber, and paddler. Since Latte has been sick (3yrs now), I have become completely innactive. My bike has been broken and I just didnt have the energy to deal with it. I may not be able to get out climbing because of time constraints between work and caring for her. But, it wont be hard to sneak in a daily bike ride and/or ride to work. Im really hoping the physical activity will help me feel better inside and out.

Regarding Questions/Comments from Yesterday:

Appy stim- I give latte cypro. It usually jump starts her for a few days...as the mirtz does for other cats. I hesitate giving it to her because she will eat A TON of kibble. Im not too psyched about giving it to her when she is in the 600's, ya know? Then there is the bupe, and how it was decided it might not be the best idea to give both. So its a little bit of juggling things when I decide to give it to her. The cypro DOES work.

I do also sprinkle treats and such on her food. its the only way she will take it...if she sees me shaking the bag and I put it to her face to sniff. even then, as soon as she gets to the bowl she turns away.

And, Im sorry about scaring anyone by not putting her numbers up in the heading. I really am not interested in advertising her HI readings. they are not worthy of being next to her name. And, if its not about the numbers anyway, then...why put them out there. Ya?!

Hugs and scritches to you both (you know who gets which, but you can share if it makes you both feel better). I hope the bounce clears quickly and doesn't leave her feeling washed out.

Glad you got your bike fixed. Yes, fresh air will probably help you feel better.
 
That's ok about not putting the numbers and feeling how you do. I am sure everyone agrees that you can vent all you want here.

I am happy that your bike is fixed and that you will be able to get some rides in; exercise of any sort is good for your whole body health including mental health. It also raises your spirits and helps you to better cope.

I hope Latte has a bit of a better evening, but speak to her about making use of the a/c next time!
 
Hi, Carolyn.. Latte too.. I always wonder about the air & kittes :roll:
When not too hot.. I leave the windows open... the fresh air/interaction with outside I feel is best.. but then I get home & feel hot.. so I turn the air on :YMSIGH: or leave it on sometimes with a window OPEN.. who knows what they want!!
Reading HI not good.. but I would rather that then her goin too low & you not home.. I figure you feel the same too.
Get that Bike fixed & get on it.. take care of you.. Latte's momma.. that is the best thing you can do for her.. is to take care of you.. 24 hours in a day & unless I dedicate more than half to Sadi & Baby I feel a failure.. but WHY is that?? Geez.. all kittes on FDMB have it better than a lot of beans!! Take care of You... it is the best thing you can do for lil momma & there is no better time to start than right now!! I work out nearly 3 hours a day & I feel soooooo much better & know my babies do too!
 
Carolyn & Latte - I am sending you all of the good energy we can possibly muster up: for you - to maintain & not go crazy. Keep remembering you are doing a heroic care-taking job and have been for some time; for sweet Latte - to do what she has to do, hopefully getting better in the meantime. Remember, not only in Lantus Land is it a wild roller-coaster ride, but in life as well. Just hang on and make it thru the dip. We care so much.
Love & hugs,
Susan & Lanky
