My entire post just got deleted somehow ***SIGH*** so I shall try again.....

Last night was full of restless sleep for this momma bean so when I woke up at around 230ish and Skooter right by me, I figured, why the hell not poke that ear and get a test?! July 2nd was the first and last time I got a +8 on the PM cycle.

I am a little nervous still at shooting "low numbers", which sadly for me, 157 still feels a little low, but it was done with only slight hesitation as I know Here is hit is what is best for him. I then went to the freezer and saw I did NOT have two more frozen foods like I thought....I do not remember giving him the last two, but apparently I did. So, I will have to see if I can switch some stuff around at work today, otherwise I would not be home until +6 or so and since he seems to nadir earlier, I will have to see if I can finagle getting out in time to come home around +5 or so. Then I can test and give him some food.

Here is hoping my brand spanking new debit card arrives today so I can get all of his stuff ordered. We will be heading to the vet tonight just to get Skooter weighed. I want to see how his weight is doing since changing his food as I am still not sure I am giving him the right amount lol. Then when we get home, I will run out and get a scale for here and compare to the one at the vet's. With my luck the scale I get will be off by a pound or so, and if I don't bring him in and weigh him on what he has been used to, I will freak out that he has gained or lost too much, so, I figure this is the best option.

Sending healing vines to all the kittehs and beans who need them and hope everyone has a FUNtastic Tuesday....

Very nice shooting! Surf it safely for MamaBean, Skooter!!

Ugh on the fuds...I hate when I think I have more and find out I don't! I hope you're able to juggle everything without much stress and hassle. Good luck with the weigh in...have a great day, guys!!
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter AMPS 157

Molly, I have been on vacation, but I have been checking in on Skooter every day. I am so glad to see him in blue and green numbers! I'm not sure what kind of scale you are planning to get, but I use a baby scale and it matches my vet scale very closely. Mine looks sort of like this: http://www.amazon.com/ULTRASCALE-MBSC-5 ... aby+scales , but I'm sure I didn't pay that much for it. I probably got mine at Walmart.
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter AMPS 157

Hi guys .. nice blue this morning skooter! And nice shooting too ;-) I hope you can find a scale that is close to what your vet says he weighs .. Have a great day!

Thanks for the visits, info and encouragement!

I was able to change my schedule pretty easily as I have a really awesome coworker who switched a few things with me....

We have been noticing that his nadir is usually a little earlier, so I was actually expecting a lower number than what I got. Oh well, he is still surfing safely for me, which makes me happy!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Nice blue surf there Mr. Skooter!!

Now just continue surfing while your mamabean slaves away at TBP to earn the money for all that good fuds you're eating now!

Good for you shooting this morning too, Molly!!

Nice blue surf for Skooter especially since you had to go back to work.
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter AMPS 157 +4.75 130 +11.25 305

I do declare I see some bouncing occurring.....


But choosing not to get down about it. 1. There really isn't anything I can do about it. 2. He must have gotten lower after I fell asleep or the 90 was enough to make him bounce and 3. I am going to see it as him training his body to regulate a little more. Plus the fact, it really isn't TOO bad of a bounce...and that was right after a car ride to and from the vet to get weighed....

Must make frozen food treats for Skooterbear tonight, hopefully if I can find the right balance of water so when it melts there isn't so much water, maybe JUST maybe, he might eat it. He did so well the first few days with it.

Made a quick trip to the vet to check on his weight....last time (which is the day I learned to home test, so about a month ago he was at 12 8 oz.....today he was up just ever so slightly, which means (hopefully) I am feeding him about the right amount of food. The vet tech said he was impressed the old guy could even put on a little weight...it wasn't much more than maybe 10-15 oz he has put on, but glad he is basically maintaining....

confused_cat I wonder what Mr. Skooter has in store for me tonight.......... confused_cat

Ok Skooter....joke is over....let's do a nice slide down tonight, but not TOO fast....let's move down a floor to yellow land at least.....
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter AMPS 157 +4.75 130 +11.25 305 PMPS 351

What's Skooter's ideal weight?

Gaining 15oz is almost a pound, and if the 12.8 was a good weight for him, he IS eating too much

Sorry to rain on your parade Skoot....LOL

He's not too far off the yellow floor...bet he makes it!
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter AMPS 157 +4.75 130 +11.25 305 PMPS 351

She doesn't like him to go under 11 or so and not above 13 or so....
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter AMPS 157 +4.75 130 +11.25 305 PMPS 351 +2 2

Ya know, we even SHOOK on it....paw and hand that he would behave tonight and now a 118 mg/dL drop in two hours?!?!?!

Should I be going for a +3 tonight? I am guessing this is considered a pretty significant drop....
 
Re: 7/22 Skooter +4.75 130 +11.25 305 PMPS 351 +2 233 +3 175

I bet if you looked behind his back, he has his toes crossed while he was making that promise :lol:
 
Well I feel awful.....meant to set my alarm for 11:40, but msut have set it for 1:40....Ugh, blaming my poor eyesight for this one.....


All of a sudden I shot straight up....so I am not sure how much lower he actually went, but looking at his PM cycles, it does not look like he often, if ever goes down, then back up and then down again, especially this late in his cycle. So perhaps he stayed steady between +3 and +3.75? Then again he could have taken some sort of a dive and this is his trend upwards....UGH, I have GOT to get better at this alarm setting thing.....but if I can learn as much as I have about FD in this short amount of time, I am sure I can learn this as well :)

I guess now: To bounce or not to bounce, that is the question.....and he if does bounce I am guessing it is a good indication he probably when a bit lower during his two tests....growl at myself once again.....I really wanted to see what his +5 was.....oh well, as Elsa says, Let It Go......
 
Just looked at my alarm...

This one is my fault, I DID set the alarm correctly, I just didn't hear it :roll:

Looks like I am going to have to find me a VERY loud and annoying tone to wake me up for his nighttime tests......
