Yesterday

I'm not sure if Mr P is taking break after his crazy shennanigans yesterday or what...I don't love these numbers, but at least her pancreas is doing something.

Crazy day yesterday with Trix's big 130 point insulin-free drop! When I saw the 201, I was crushed...I couldn't believe she hit yellow. I knew she'd come down, but wasn't sure how far she'd go. I had to leave the house by +2, so I had DH test her since I wanted a later reading. He forgot at +3, but got the amazing +4 of 71 :mrgreen: . Crazy, crazy, crazy! It makes me wonder what my civvies are like throughout the day, but I would never subject them to earpokes just because I'm curious.

Today, we're off to a typical start...nothing unusual to report, other than she was adamantly opposed to Fancy Feast for breffis, despite the fact that she devoured it as her bedtime snack. Apparently, Purina One was the preferred choice today.

We take her for BW and BP check on Saturday this week....her first follow-up since all the p-titis chaos. Her appointment is earlier than I hoped - 10:40 - which means I have to get up at 4:00am to feed her and pill her @-) @-) ...Dr R likes to check her BP 6 hours after having her meds.

I survived BeadFest, but am thoroughly exhausted. Setting up the booth, REALLY selling for days (way more intense than the store), then breaking down the booth is like a month of working at the store crammed into a 4 day weekend. But, I do enjoy shows...I'd like them better if I didn't have to work my regular job the next day, though. It will take me a few days to catch up around here in LL (soooo many new kitties appeared this weekend!!) as well as catch up around my house.

My Dad's chemo starts tomorrow...please keep those LL prayers coming for him. In the meantime, I've got my prayers going out to my entire LL family....

Have a great day, everyone!

Amy

Come on down Trixie. She is certainly doing some crazy stuff without insulin but always comes back to green. I agree that it makes you wonder what goes on in their little bodies. Silly girl on breffis.

Beadfest sounds exhausting. I hope you had some good sales and some fun. Prayers coming in the dozens for your dad.

Prayers and vines for your DF today and that the chemo is goes well without side effects.

The numbers you get for Trixie are around the numbers I have for Max over the years of pancreatitis. I have a lot of blood tests. I was wondering for months now if maybe he had been diabetic for some time but my vet always said it was stress, there never was glucose in his urine and his frctosamine was normal. So I think this maybe is Trixie's normal and might be for many cats, JMHO.

That is interesting about testing the BP six hours after the medication. My vet never gives me those kind of guidelines. He only told me to make appointments 6-7 hours after insulin but never says anything about other tests. I will try that next time. If my rotten memory is right I thing that might be when amlodipine peaks.

You have a lot of stressful things going on right now so I hope you take some time to take care of you.
 
Wow....that is really bizarre....I have no idea how I ended up with such and odd and wacky date. I must be more deliriously exhausted than I thought.

Yep, my vet says the amplodipine peaks 6 hours after the pill which is why she likes to check the BP at that point. Of course that also means I only have 2 days I can take Trix for testing, because there are only 2 days that OUR vet is in the office at that specific time, one of which is Saturday. It's pretty rare that I can take a Saturday off, but I'm doing it this week anyway.
 
Trixie, you are a real stinker! Don't you know your Mamabean gets stressed when you throw her those weird numbers!? Now you settle down and stop playing games with her. She needs some nice, green post shot numbers and a happy appy from you right now. Okay? cat_pet_icon

Sending lots of good vines and prayers for your DF.

I agree with Elise. Don't forget to take some time for you amid all this chaos. You can't help Trixie or your parents if you make yourself ill. :YMHUG:
 
I hope Trixie gives you some green later on. I'm glad Beadfest was sucessful, even if it was exhausting. Sending prayers for your dad's first day of chemo tomorrow.
 
I like Elise's thought about the bgs. Good luck with the vet appt.

Will be thinking of your dad tomorrow. I hope it is easy for him. It's hard being the daughter when the parents are sick. They're lucky to have you close by.
