Well, today is the day two years ago that I bought Frankie home from the vet in a complete daze with syringes, insulin, tablets, glucometers and testing strips in a huge carrier bag. I just dropped everything off and cried my eyes out. Now, his numbers are not improving, but he is. He is back to his mischievous self and running around after his brother. Well. I say running, it's more like bunny hopping as he has had neuropathy now for over a year, and despite over 6 months of Zobaline, there is no real improvement in his posture, but he can move around and climb stairs and jump now, so there are positives. I have stopped hoping for him to stop bouncing now, it's just a part of him, and as long as he seems healthy and happy then that's enough for me.
 
Happy Anniversary, Frankie!
And congrats to your lovely Mum for doing such a brilliant job of caring for you. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Edited to add:
Just wanted to say, Sue, that I think you've done a particularly good job given that Frankie isn't the easiest diabetic to care for (and because you have two diabetic cats in your care!). You really are a very special Mum to your beautiful kitties. They are blessed in having you in their lives....

Happy 2 year anniversary Frankie!

Sue like you I have a difficult kitty to treat, so I feel for all your ups and downs. But Frankie is doing well in spite of the trials and tribulations you go through. If not for your tears, efforts and persistence Frankie would not be here today.

Hope both you and Frankie (and Romulus) all have a great day and don't forget to give yourself a huge pat on the back for everything you do. :bighug:
 
Happy anniversary, Frankie! Sue, your story sounds so much like my Hannah's story. There are many similarities. It's also been just about 2 years for us... we're coming up on an anniversary in May. You've done a wonderful job of dealing with Frankie's diabetes. And you've pointed out one very important thing. It's not always about the numbers. It's about doing the best you can and seeing Frankie respond by being a happy, "mischievous" kitty. Best wishes and hugs to both of you!!

I try my best, but some days I just feel this isn't enough.

Yep, me, too. Some days, I still find myself in tears over it. But for the most part, I'm able to deal with it, as Hannah is so much better than she was two years ago. I try to focus on that. Just know that when you're having that feeling, there are others here having that same feeling about their "sweet" efforts. We're sort of in this together. And I'm quite sure there are more of us than we think... or know. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Happy Anniversary, Frankie! :joyful: Sending you some special celebratory scritches and some big :bighug::bighug::bighug:s to your mama for doing such a great job looking after you.

Wishing both of you many happy returns of the day. :)

Me, three. When I can't get things right for my girl I feel like I'm failing her. :( I want so badly for her to be happy.

Mogs, you do an absolutely admirable job of doing your very best for Saoirse. There is no way you are failing her!! I think everyone here can agree on that!! Sometimes we forget we're only human and there are just some things in this life over which we don't have complete control... things we can't completely fix. But that doesn't stop us from trying... thank goodness. God grant us the patience and the courage to at least try to make a difference.
