Ok, people should not get up at 2:50am to go to work. :-|
Wow am I tired, and glad I chose the dose early option since I did not get home until 9am. That would have made getting back on schedule by tomorrow impossible.

I like his +6 of 316. But he's still sooooo hungry. I kept track of my calories and his yesterday and up until 6pm or so, he was higher. Forgot to track after 6pm but that's just not right!
I can't digest food and he metablizes like a machine. :lol: :lol:

I boiled up 3 chicken breasts and diced them up. Gonna give him some of that to try and keep the calories down a bit.

morning brent! glad you went with the early option - looks like it was just right for tigger and definitely better for your schedule!

*whew* that is an early morning! my son was doing a paper route for a while - he could get the papers after 2:30am and had to have them delivered by 6am. sometimes he stayed up to deliver and then went to bed at 6am - talk about messing with your body clock! hope you can get a nap in today. perhaps tigger would cooperate by snuggling with ya!

the person who posted yesterday about going up by 1u is right - if you don't see significant action with these .5u changes, don't hesitate to go for it. i know sandy & libby are in the hurricane path but as soon as they're back on maybe they have some ideas for you as well. basically i'd go up every 4 cycles until he's down into the 200's, then slow down.

i posted tigger's movies in the loose lips condo today so others could see them - that's where a lot of people post movies and pictures. we love our kitties!

Yeah, pretty beat right now. Used to work swing shift in the factory where I work before I went back to school for computers. That stuff is brutal, and not looking past that adding to my current issues. So, yeah, the overnight shift sucked, I feel for your son! Most kids can't do that stuff, its not easy!

Cool Cool, you put the movies up there huh? I was going to look for that section, but ran out of time and energy yesterday. Thanks!

I'm gonna go with full unit increases from here on out, enough .5 units when he's mid 300's. And its too damn hard seeing that half mark!
:lol:
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

wait til you're trying for the .25's. talk about hard to see! i like the even units too.

yes - i put the links and your news re acro/iaa in the 8/27 loose lips. there are several people who don't have time/energy to visit condos and people share news of illnesses and diagnoses there.
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

Where is that? I can't find the Loose Lips section, but then again you could blind fold me with dental floss right now.
:lol:
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

I bet once that tumor starts to slow down, so will Tigger's appetite. When the tumor is active, it's pumping out growth hormone. Figure Tigger is like a teenage boy when that's happening -- he eats like he has an empty leg to stash it away in.
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

You know, I often said he is very very strong. And when he has gotten after other cats, most bigger then him, he just over powers them. His favorite move is to just get them to flinch and then they take off and he comes in from behind and just rolls them. It was cool to watch since these are the same cats that screwed with him when he was young, then he grew up and needless to say they didn't like it. Plus, he's a marking machine with Diabetes! LMAO
Wow, could he cover the back 40 with tigger cologne!

Is this Growth Hormone issue also giving him strength? When I say he's strong, he is tough to hold back when he tries to sneak into Momma's food dish.

I mean even as a kitten he was a force, the one video he knocked Momma right into the wall. Plus, he knocked me off my speaker!
:lol: :lol:

Hi Brent - just saw Julie's post on Loose Lips. The video's of Tigger bouncing and jumping just made my day. Bet he is just endless smiles that way. He sure suits his name doesn't he.

I'm sorry about the diagnoses but you are in good hands. You aren't in this alone. Just want to send my good wishes. Tigger was meant to be yours :cool:
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

Hi Brent
Just checkin in on you here. I try to peak in on all the acro/iaa/cushings moms/dads here. More just for a little support and if I can help at all.

I'm peaking in quick but I don't see your spreadsheet. Could i ask what dose Tigger is on now? Just trying to get caught up to date a little! :)

Give your handsome boy a hug!
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316 PMPS 397

Yeah, been a while since I looked at those videos. Wow has he changed and grown up.
He's not nearly as bouncy these days, i think he's lost some spunk with the diabetes, IAA and Acro. Hoping he gets that back.
All he does now is want food! :lol:
Then again, dad doesn't have any spunk either, hoping to get that fixed soon too!


Currently Tigger is on 11 units of Lantus. Haven't had the time to sit down and get the R going. Little worried on that one.
Want to make sure i am around to get his numbers when i do start it.
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

Are there special syringes for the R?
I'm gonna have to find that link someone put up about how to use it.
I will need a new box this week of regular syringes.

Hey tigger, Daddy's gonna have to get a third job!
I think i'm gonna put him to work, hunting varments to sell... :lol:

Between him and my Gluten/Dairy free groceries, damn. Anyone out there buy natural food? :shock: :shock:
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

R uses the same syringes as Lantus.

I spend way too much $$ at Whole Foods. Does that count as natural foods?
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

I'm not sure what Whole Foods is exactly, but sounds like it is natural. Do you pay $6 for a loaf of bread?
LOL
 
Re: 8/28 Tigger AMPS 360 +6=316

let's see if the 11u does anything to get him down!

i had 5 young adults here most of last summer - 18-24 - talk about a food bill! when the last one was out in august the cost of food at our house must've dropped to literally about 10% of what it had been. this summer just our 22 yr old son is here - it's not too bad and he does buy some food to contribute. punkin & anya are about 5ish cans a day of fancy feast - $2.50ish - even that adds up. good thing i love em! and good thing you love tigger!
 
Yeah, you got me there, 5 young adults = $$$
lol

I hope i can curve Tigger, 8-10 cans of FF is adding up!
Cheaper to buy chicken breasts I think

Ok, off to bed. Numbers came down a bit, 320, but he's eating again so we'll see what he is in the morning.
