Good Morning Lantus Land!

I don't know about you, but I am sooooooooo glad it is Friday!! I'm hoping to do a little more pushing with the R this weekend to see if I can get him off this pink floor.

I sometimes get so frustrated as to how long and slow a process this has become. I've also been getting mad at the inconvenience this is causing to me and my family, mentally and monetarily. With the holiday weekend approaching, I'm finding it hard to make plans based on the fact that I might be away from the house at PMPS and hiring a pet sitter every weekend is going to start getting expensive. I'm sorry to be ranting...by Friday I'm exhausted and just want to go back to bed.

Everyone have a great day. I will be trying to keep my eyes open. @-)

Hello and nice to meet you Linda and Guinness!

I hear your frustration!! Our kitties demand so much of us!
Hang in there and have a great weekend

I completely know where you're coming from!!! Money is always tight here because I'm a single mom with a kid in college. I try not to think about the limitations it's putting on me because it does put me in a blue mood. I just try to do the one day at a time thing because then I can feel a sense of accomplishment that I got through that day.

I hope Guinness starts showing some signs that he's in this to win this!! TGIF!!! Try to have a good weekend

Hi guys .. I know it can be frustrating to take care of a FD sometimes .. At least you can come here and vent to people who understand .. hang in there ...

Awww Linda i'm sorry your feeling frustrated, it is a very slow process but just think about the finish line and how good its going to feel when you get there, when Guinness is well regulated. We are like our kitties, we have good days and we have bad days, there are days when i just sit there and cry, Leo always comes to my rescue tho with hugs and meowing to make sure i'm ok.

I know i planned on not having much of a life when i realized how much work FD was, i'm a single cat mom so i have no one to rely on but myself, but Leo is worth it and i know Guinness is worth it to you as well.

Hopefully you can get some well deserved rest this weekend!

Oh! Linda, I'm so sorry your feeling the frustrations of this. You can vent any time you want to here.. A lot of us know where you're coming from, me being one of those people.. Money is always an issue.. It will get better, you'll settle in and make time to do the things you want, maybe not as much as you used to. I'm sure that Guinness is very grateful for the sacrifices you are making for him..
I hope his numbers continue to come down :-D
Have a wonderful weekend. ;-)
 
So my vet finally emailed me back today after I emailed her an update as to Guinness's new dose increase. She mentioned she thought he might be insulin resistant, but since he was responding the the Humulin R (yeah, I told her about that), that might not be the case. She felt he wasn't a big enough kitty to qualify for acro, but offered to do the test anyways, which I will do. I'm also hoping to do the pancreatic test as well.

My daughter wants to put a smiley on the screen, so here it is: confused_cat confused_cat cat(2)_steam bcatrun_gif
 
Good for your daughter to help you post updates on Guinness. What a big helper!!! And I'm glad you've decided to do the testing. If nothing else, you'll know one way or the other. And, let's be real, when it comes to FD, vets are often wrong!!
 
the good thing about testing is that it gives you an answer . . . you either know or can rule out the acro/iaa.

i know what you're saying about the pet sitter & money - the way i'm looking at it is that i don't think this is a multiple years-long thing with my punkin because he's already 13. so for now, i'm just trying to treasure the time i have with him - one more day feels sweet. there will be time later for me to return to "normal" life. it's kinda like when you have a baby - everything you want to do for you just gets set aside, but then they get older and you get to do fun stuff for you again.

wonder if there's anyone in your area with FD that you might be able to trade shots/care with for weekends?
