I should have shot through the bounce, 20/20 hindsight.

I'm going to try to get R today to have on hand for next time. I'll check in everywhere I shop for WiFi hotspots to vote for DCIN in the free surgery contest. If you are out and have a smart phone or iPad take it with you and look for hotspots.

WCR Just 4 Ps, working on Clean Plate Club, appy is good this morning though, but more fog so nap time!
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415

Good morning!
I just wanted to say hi.
I love the avatar picture of Tess, she is so cute!

I am wondering.... about the "R" you are going to get today.
I saw this mentioned in someone else's condo too.
What is it???
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415

Hi Mariko, "R" is a fast acting short term insulin (just a few hours) that can be used to help slow down a bounce. Since Tess is so bouncy we have been thinking it may get her evened out.

Thank on th pic, it's one of my favorites even if it is years old.
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415

R is Regular Insulin and is used by vets to get a cats blood sugars down fast, like in DKA situations. It is very very potent and dangerous in the wrong hands and should only be used with guidance from someone with lots of experience using it. J.D. gets just 1 drop, or sometimes 1 and 1/2 drops (right at the zero line, or less), when I give it to him. It is used as a bolus insulin, and besides being very potent, it needs to be given only at the right time. For instance J.D. is climbing to 362 at +4.5, but I can not give him any R now as it's nadir would coinside with his nadir from Levemir and that could cause a big crash. Also giving it when a bounce is breaking could cause a cat to come crashing down way too fast and just set up another big bounce. It is a good tool to have, but not recommended for use by care givers just starting out.
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415 +3~349

Thank you for the info about "R".
It's a wonderful new discovery that visiting other people's condo can be very informative and educational, besides meeting new people!
I'm very shy, but I'd like to do it more often!
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415 +3~349 +6~303 +10~174

Nice +10 then Tess. You are braver than me with the R. Looks like Tess cleared the reds with no problem for now. Have a great night Ann!
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415 +3~349 +6~303 +10~174

That's quite a slide today, Tess! Now, let's even things out in green.

Ann, I hope you get some sleep tonight! Good luck with R.

Hugs, scritches,

Ella & Rusty

Hi, Ann, I hope Tess finds that surfboard for some gentle surfing tonight.
Good luck with using R ~ learned something new from your condo today!
Enjoy your evening!
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415 PMPS~126

Ella , you may just be right about the Lagoon tonight! I didn't expect her to clear this so soon. :-D :-D :-D Tess may be aiming for a full Rainbow!

Never got out to get the R today so I hope this doesn't trigger another bounce. And i still need to get advice from Libby.
 
Re: 6/10 Tess AMPS~415 PMPS~126

Yay much better PS at pm then am!!! I hope Tess gives you a nice surf tonight! Have a great night Ann! :-D

Ann

Hold off on the R. Jill and Libby both looked at Tess's SS and pointed put the one thing I saw......that Tess's bounces are inconsistent.
For instance, if you had given it last night when she started up in those pink numbers, you might really have been fighting her today. However, if you had given it 6/7 at +10 or PMPS, it probably would have kept her from bouncing a whole additional day.
Click to expand...

Jill and Libby both were concerned that Tess's bounce lengths are too unpredictable.....sometimes it takes her several cycles, other times, she clears right away. You would have to somehow know which she was going to do because you wouldn't want to give it if she was going to clear the bounce on her own.
