Yesterday

Phew, what a night. I was up til around 2 AM but she was giving me 51 and 50's so I didn't want to load her up with carbs. Had to go to sleep for an hour after feeding her low carb. Woke up around 3 and as I was going to get stuff for pokes I saw the largest insect I think I've ever seen quickly crawl down my bedroom wall and disappear somewhere :nailbiting:. Clocked Bell at a 43 :nailbiting:. Look for the giant bug and could find it, thought I was maybe still dreaming. Set alarms for the rest of the early mornings and fed some MC to get Bell back into a safe zone. Woke up for her AMPS to find Blair doing battle with the giant bug. Turns out to be the largest house centipede I've ever seen. Like rat-sized! It could have dragged Blair back into the netherworld. Got it with a vacuum (I hair-tied a plastic bag around the end of my vacuum to be safe :p) and gave Blair extra belly rubs today. I felt bad because I KNOW those things are good and eat pests but I can't be having that crawl on me in the middle of the night. I have a size limit in my tolerance of insect friends.

Bell seemed better today with the gabapentin dose. Still a little sleepy but less wobbly. I do think it is helping her back, which is good. I just don't want it to cause her to sleep all the time (well even more, since she already sleeps all the time 😆).

Seems to be bouncing from that lime, so maybe some sleep tonight.

I've heard that over time the gaba sleepiness goes away. I only tried gaba for 2 weeks with Neko. She was still pretty sleepy, but most important it didn't seem to be helping her much. ECID though.

Ugh on the bug. 🐛
 
Oh Seth what a night 😱
The centipede story is totally creepy.
I see them in our basement 🤢 (where Ivy’s condo is). So we spend a lot of time down there.

Sorry to hear about the looong night (I just had one last night too).
Thank goodness for phone alarms (or I’d be useless when that exhausted)🥱
I hope you slept last night from the bounce you recover. 🦸‍♂️

Glad the gaba is helping and tweaking the dose is working for Bell 💝😻🌊
 
Thank you thank you! Good to know that the sleepiness goes away for some cats. Bell is sleepy enough as it is 😄

Staci, I don’t know what I would do without the alarms either! Sometimes my brain can hardly function to set them correctly!

I know what you mean, me too! I've set them incorrectly too so many times (and shut them off, I think) due to complete exhaustion 😭😭😭
