While I'm gone, I decided to put Cat TV on for Maury after seeing this trial :cat:♥:joyful:

Hulu has a cat channel. Is that what you turned on? I turned it on one time for Frank, but it's like cats and sunshine, and I think Frank was like b*$@h please, what is this garbage that you think I'm going to watch? If there was a channel of world destruction, I think he'd probably like that better. :woot:
 
I am heading out but just saw your message :). I was a little worried because it was at +3 but figured he was OK cos he was getting his MC lunch after the test. I set an alarm for +5.5 but when I woke up and he was curled up in his bed on my bed, I gave him some scratches and said you're good. lol. I was exhausted ;)
 
And we have a bounce. Probably should've dropped to 1.5U this morning but hopefully he won't stay on the trampoline long. We were doing so good :)
 
So this is just another one of my theories....but I think we could have been pretty sure he was going to be high today after that beautiful green last night, so I think you actually could have gone with the regular shot this morning and this evening and been fine. That being said, since you had a lower AMPS and weren't going to be home, I think lowering the dose was the safer decision. My theory that you could have given the regular dose would NOT have been a good idea to try out without monitoring! (You know that, I'm just making it clear for anyone in the future who stumbles upon this thread!) I'm curious if you hold that 2u dose a bit longer if those greens might not start to show up more often?

He was kind of hyper when I got home today too, so have to wonder if the number was slightly stressed. When I was getting ready for his PMPS he was a little feisty so I thought maybe he was closer to where he was for AMPS but NO lol. But as you said, I really wanted to give S2.0U again but I wasn't going to be home until a few minutes before PMPS, so went safer. Since it was a bounce, I've learned my lesson, I didn't do a big increase. Just went to a fat from AM dose. He seems to do better when moving it that tiny bit on a bounce number :) (antijinx). Now that I've typed it here, he's going to change :facepalm: (antijinx). Should be home more over the weekend so planning on doing 2.0U, numbers permitting :D

(Antijinx) side note: His front paws seem to be more on the toes, more progress :smuggrin:

ALL THE ANITJINXING!!!
 
LOL! It does seem to work that way, doesn't? As soon as we think we've figured out how a cat is going to respond, they change their patterns!

Sue used to say that it's a dance, and only the kitty can hear the music. That has always been my favorite metaphor for all of this.
 
Oh no, that's such sad timing. He was very cute though, and probably would've had a lot of good things to tell Maury! I also love his name.
 
Was the first time I moved out of my parents house and out of state. I obviously have a thing for the Maine Coon tabby mixes :smuggrin:.
 
So it's in my notes but figured I'd post here. I "tickled" Maury's hind paw last night and it used to make him spread his toes before diagnosis. For a while, I occasionally did it to see if he was getting more feeling back but no luck. Last night, his toes spread! :joyful:

On a dosing note, go figure as soon as I talk about increasing him again, this happens :facepalm:. No shot tonight. Going to try to give LC for his lunch instead of his MC carb. Wondering if the MC lunches are impacting him now with better numbers. :bookworm:
 
Not 100% sure! o_O:confused: Only thing I can attribute is I was having a very lethargic day, passed out on the sofa, way past his lunch time so he did not get his lunch. Just his normal breakfast with his YAZ.
 
Geez, that F2.0 is making him all kinds of bouncy, huh? Awhile back you said that he's very sensitive to dose changes, and he's sure proving that. Hopefully a few steady cycles will settle him back down!

I wonder if the u100's or some calipers would help, since it seems like even a drop of two of difference matters for Maury?
 
Only with this 1.75 - 2.25U range lol. After today, with me missing his lunch may have played a bigger part. So if I starve him, he will have low numbers :p just kidding of course!
Giving him LC lunch last night didn't change much, which makes me and him happy that he can still have his "MC" lunches :D
 
We're creeping the dose back up. If he has similar PMPS tonight, we'll have a frown curve instead of smile curve :(. Will probably start 2.25U again tomorrow morning since I won't be home til probably his +6 tonight.
