:cry: Go away 300s!
So this week is the week I head out on my vacation and my ex boyfriend/ roommate is taking over duties. After much consideration and talking to others, I've decided that while I am gone, I will reduce the dose and not have him to worry about BG testing.
It's just really not an option while I am gone and I am lucky to have talked him into giving shots and I just want to make things easier on everyone.
That being said... Right now obviously Moo is at 1.0. Right now he's hitting bigger numbers. I don't want to increase his dose before I go... But experts... looking at my SS what do you think would be the best bet for dosing while I am gone? I'd like to make the dosing easy for him too so I rather not have to do a .25 or .75 if possible.
I am leaving Fri AM. I will give the Thurs night dose and the rest is on the Ex. I will be home really late Tues night or sometime Wed morning depending on travel.
The other problem is my ex's work schedule. Right now Moo is 730am/pm due to my schedule. My ex is off on Friday which is good, however, Saturday he works 10am-8pm. Sunday he will more than likely work 10a,-8pm as well. However there is a chance he MAY have to work 6am-2pm. I am hoping that today or tomorrow that the rest of his work schedule is posted for Sun/Mon/Tues.
The other problem is... sometimes he gets stuck at work longer than he is scheduled. Though a 10 hr shift they are getting better at getting him out of there quicker.
So I was thinking I can get him to 9am/9pm so that will work with his schedule. If he does work a 6am or an earlier /later shift, I may have to have him skip that dose. Do you think that'll cause a big problem?
SOrry this seems so scatter brained. I am just trying to start feeling things out now.
As soon as I get his full schedule I can lay out a better schedule and scenarios.
I'm really stressing about this. The good thing is I know Moo is a good easy cat to deal with and he will let him give him his shots.
I also know Moo has never *knock on wood* had any hypo events.
The ex does know what to look for and where the gravy food/karo is kept as well as where the vet is. I have extra food both LC and HC extra syringes, etc.
I will always be a phone call away 24-7 as I will just be with family out of state.
Is there anything I am forgetting or need to do/remember?
Any hints or tips with a hard to work with schedule?
Again, sorry for rambling.
Thanks for your thoughts and looking.
**Please remember I have asked questions and considered lots of issues so please understand BG testing just is not feasible for reasons I have explained in the past
