Cinco woke me up this morning 1/2 hour before my alarm was supposed to go off. Darn! I actually made it six hours without waking up in pain!
No doubt it was because I had my little emergency kit all ready beside the bed with cookies & milk and pain meds! I looked at the clock when I heard him and realized it was +2, so I thought maybe he'd gone low. I dragged my butt downstairs (literally), and got all the kitties' breakfasts and meds ready. Cinco tested at 124, so he had dropped a decent amount, but nothing to holler about (unless you're Cinco)! Just checked his +4 and he's at 83, so I guess I'll be checking again in an hour! I like what he's doing on this dose so far. :mrgreen: We've had lots of blues and greens and only the occasional yellow PS (anti-jinx). Nothing too exciting, but I really have enough excitement in my life right now, thank you! Keep up the good work, Cinco!
Sasha continues to do well. Once the Miralax kicked in, she got nice and regular with her poos. I cut her down to once a day, but I may try every other day, just to see if she's able to stay regular on her own. The Bupe is at twice a day now, and she doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, so I may drop it again in the next day or two. I have an old sewing bench, about two feet high, that I moved in front of my bathroom counter so I could kneel on it while brushing my teeth, etc. Last night when I went up to bed, Sasha was all curled up on it! :shock: We're far enough past surgery now that I didn't worry too much, although I did check her incision. It looked fine and she was very pleased with herself. I set her on the counter and turned on the faucet, and she started to go for a drink, and then remembered that she only had one front paw, so her usual method wouldn't work (she would get half-way into the sink and wave one paw under the flow, then lick it off). She looked so disappointed! I stuck my hand under the flow, so the water ran down it and toward her. She got the idea right away and was soon lapping at the water as it ran off my hand. Both of us were much happier!
Time to go give Sasha her Bupe, and I think I'll lie down for a while, as the pain meds are starting to kick in and I expect my tummy to start complaining shortly.
Sending healing vines to all in need, and hugs to all their beans!

:shock: It's the first time she's come down the stairs since her surgery. We've left the door open, even with her out of the cage, because she didn't show any desire to roam. I guess she was lonely, or wanted a snack. She got both attention and food! We let her hang out a while, and then DH went up to bed and took her along. No sense in pushing the envelope by letting her climb the stairs. She continues to amaze/scare me!
