Hello Everyone,
Today's start at 116 ambg . :roll:
Shadow is doing well still although she does like keeping me on alert with this borderline numbers. I'd be less concerned about it if
she dropped in bg a few hours later but she is often nearly the same bg. She always did do a flatline kind of curve so maybe it's just
her way. The flat way. There have also been a few occasions where she starts in the 80's and then goes up 4 hrs later.
I don't know what that means.
I am finally getting her to eat from her timed feeder. I found the better location for it. It now sits on my nightstand by the bed.
I give her a meal in it when we go to bed and put food in the other side ( 2 tray feeder) to open 4-5 hours later.
Last night she was actually sitting next to it (at 2 am) waiting for it to open. So this may work for our Christmas trip after all.
I did feel her front right paw this week and she does have a split nail for what would be her thumbnail. And it is tender since she doesn't
want me to pull on it. I put on the strong reader glasses and looked under the light. It's not inflamed or anything.
But I bet that's why she was limping weeks ago. I was looking on google and apparently it's pretty common. I thought about taking
her to the vet for it but it's not bothering her unless I push on it and if it's so common , then it should eventually heal on it's own.
I wondered whether something like a touch of superglue to hold it together while it grows out would help but if it's a common occurrence,
then it should grow out on it's own and hopefully quit splitting. They would have to do it since I have numerous funny tales of bouts
with superglue. I glued myself to the bathroom door once ( putting a hook on the back of the door) and I couldn't yell because I had just gotten
our son to bed ( he was 1) so i stood there for a long time and finally had to just rip my hand off. :roll: :lol:
My family loves to tell tales on me and superglue. I've glued myself to so many things. That stuff is quicker than I am. :lol:
Shadow has definitely been feeling more like herself. My dd was scolding Luna and Shadow ran over and swatted Luna to reinforce the
scolding. We all love it when Shadow does that.
No news yet on DD 's bloodwork/testing for gluten, dairy, etc.... It's been a week today. Hopefully they will call soon.
She says she's feeling slightly better although she did get a new symptom a few days ago. Her bottom lip is numb.
I had more work than usual this week so I haven't been around as much. And when I was around, I was tryin to sort out the medical
bills. We have a pile here from the hospital stay for 750 and if I get it paid before 30 days , they will let us have a 40% off discount.
My DH cashed in some vacation time for medical bills ( he always has too many vacation hours and it becomes use it or lose it) .
Still waiting to see how much we'll owe on the endoscopy which was over 5k total. I sure hope we don't owe 500 on that. nailbite_smile
It's been a sadder week here on LL. So many troubles.
Many prayers for everyone. Especially Roni and Moonie.... and today, Kotek. TiggyandWendy, Ann and Tess, Melanie. Rueben and Alexa And still Dale.
It's made me feel like our cats getting diabetes is just a tip of the iceburg. I sure would like a few more uneventful years.
