A couple days ago...
Guys... I am so, so sorry! I have missed the L&L! Apparently, my corner of the world is not totally functionable without my active participation.
Well, to be fair, I sort of put the real world on hold these past couple months, especially during the actual trip for SRT, in order to take care of my love. My focus was laser pointed on getting Pig to feeling better and doing what needed to be done for him. So much so that a lot of my other responsibilities got put on hold and now they are catching up with me. I am having to drop this entire past semester of school (thank god they are letting me wipe it off my transcript because it was not going to look pretty against my 3.9 gpa) and just start all over. I have been trying to chase my tail in everything the past couple days and have barely even opened my computer. It does not help that as soon as I got back work was incredibly demanding.. lol. 
Go figure...
With all of that being said, adding another layer is mister Sunny Pig... He is wanting to creep back into the yellows and I have added R back into the equation, but cannot seem to really pull his BGs down any. I am thinking that it is about time to look at doing an L raise. Obviously, I wanted to avoid that, but I do not think there is much options at this point.. I am just toying with what unit to raise.. I am liking a 5uL raise back to the last good dose we had. @Wendy&Neko do you think it is too soon to do this? It is stretching out to be more than just a one cycle thing, but then again he did hit a 160 on this dose. Not perfect, but not a 260 either...
I have been watching for other signs or symptoms of post SRT issues, but really I see none. Yes, his BGs are higher, but what I am seeing is more the symptoms of higher numbers than anything else. He is still super, super hungry (of course..) and he is still coming to sleep with me on occasion, but he has the sugar slugs. He has not had a change in personality or motor skills and there seems to be nothing wrong except the elevated numbers. I am thinking that his trip to blue and green was the result of that tumor ramping down and now it is gearing up again. Considering I shave quite a bit off the dose, I am not overly concerned about it at this point. I just want to get him back to a good dose again..
He continues to have amazing bathroom habits and his bladder has been just perfect as of late! I think the dose just got cut a little too far...
@JeffJ I have fixed the SS for you! Great idea! Thank you!
It is good to be back! We have missed everyone!

I have taken to putting 1tbs in the auto-feeder every two hours and feel more comfortable with doing this, especially considering we might be looking at reductions very soon. I will look at raising it back up on tomorrow's am cycle and I will have my brother stop in before work. That will put a test at the +10 hour and give me a good idea of where his nadir will be. Also, since the full effect of a raise is seldom seen in the first cycle, I will be home on the second and able to monitor every few hours. I typically do not leave for work until the +3 of any am cycle and am home for the entire pm cycle. Now would be the time to do it since my work schedule is pretty solid until Sunday morning.
