Good morning!
AMPS 239 shooting 2u

Boomer let me sleep last night again! Well....he did call out a couple of times but I think he was telling me he was coming btb and wanted to cuddle because he immediately jumped up onto the bed and flopped down beside me. He ate all of his +3, all of his extra fuds, and about 2/3 of his +6 and +9 meals.

Allen ate well overnight. Somehow, we missed fasting him last week for his weekly alendronate. We will fast him tonight.

This is the last day our grandchildren will be here; their dad has the rest of the week off. I wish it were nice out but unfortunately we've been stuck in the house all week. And my knee still hurts so it's difficult for me to walk for any distance.

 

Oh, Boomer. Whatcha doing up there?

Sorry your knee is still bothering you. It is one of those things that it is almost impossible to 'rest'. Hope it is better soon.

Other than Boomer's PS # - good update!

 

Boomer, that color does not belong on your SS, mister! Come down from there!

Hope your knee feels better soon, Judy.

 

Hope you had a wonderful time with your grandchildren! Hope your knee gets better soon.

 

I hope you're just seeing some NDW and Boomer heads down and surfs soon. Sending prayers for your knee.

 

Come on back down, sweet Boomer Continued prayers for your knee, Judy

Booms, time to get back to business buddy, nice and easy to the lagoon. Sure the cold weather doesn’t help your knee so hopefully it will warm up soon.

 

Ok, Boomer...no more making MamaBean make frowny faces in your condo, OK? As Carla said, hopefully it's just some NDW. I'm sorry your knee is still hurting!

 

My bet is on NDW or having a house full. Come on down Boomer and get back to those nice blues and greens.

I am sorry about your knee Judy. Did you get an MRI of it? Hope you didn't rip something.

I agree with Bobbie... having anyone in our house other than us is definitely NOT Elmos favorite thing Maybe Boomer is a more hospitable host

 

I'm thirding the visitors raising Boomer's levels. Come on down Boomer!

 

Thanks everyone! The visitors didn't seem to bother Boomer; he stayed in our bedroom or the spare bedroom most of the time (no hiding under the bed like he used to do) and I moved his auto feeder into our bedroom so he could eat in peace. I'm thinking it's NDW.

 

My my my Boomer, I don't know what to say. Except knock it off and get back to business.

Boomer buddy, work the juice and get back down.

 

What is NWD?

 

New Dose Wonkiness. Happens when you increase the dosage and the depot needs to fill up.

 

Aaahhh. Thank you!

 

Here's the stickie description of NDW:

The Tight Regulation Protocol with Lantus or Levemir describes what we've fondly dubbed "New Dose Wonkiness" (NDW) here in L & L:

"Many cats will occasionally react to an increased dose with increased BGs - within the first 2 to 3 days after an increase, usually lasting for less than 24 hours. Nobody really knows what the reason for this phenomenon is (perhaps a "panicky liver"?) - hold the dose and ignore the fluctuations."

You might also see this happening while following the Start Low, Go Slow Method.


NOTE:

• NDW usually lasts for less than 24 hours and is usually seen in the second day following a dose increase.

• The concept of "New Dose Wonkiness" is NOT applied to higher numbers which may be seen after a dose reduction

 

And thank you, too, Bobbie! There's always more to learn.

 

I'm still learning!
