Hey Y'all ~ What day is it???? My first realllllllly late night/morning with Bubba. Finally he came up in numbers (91 after a whole lot of HC and a few drops of Karo) so Momma could go to bed at 2 AM EST. Guess he really is in charge of leading, right? And he still managed to be 82 this AM. So he's going back to 5 units again. Where is his Goldilocks dose, you know, the one that is just right........let's see if this is it now. Catch everybody in few hours. Zzzzzz

Yesterday's wild ride

 

Good luck with the new dose. I hope Bubba surfs safely today.

 

Surf safely Little Pirate. Enjoy catching up some zzzz's, no such luck here

Who needs sleep anyway?LOL

 

Good luck with the reducing and getting some rest! Mr. Bubba certainly is in charge.....surf safely today buddy!

 

Good luck. I guess he's trying to tell you something.

 

Yeah, he's a cat and he's going to do what he wants to....

 

with that 106 @+4 he sure looks like he wants to tell you something!!

Bubba you are looking good, just play nice now!

 

Let's hope that he will do better with going back to 5 U again. Fingers and Paws crossed.

 

Good luck with the lower dose! Hope you were able to have a quality nap this morning.

 

Went back to bed after 5:30 feeding/dose for 2 hours, tested him and went back for another 2 hours. I am still in PJs at 11:15 AM

 

+6-77 Golly @Jill & Alex (GA) and @Libby and Lucy , is the boy asking for another reduction? Guess he will be keeping me on my toes the rest of the day.

 

The depot is probably still in play in this cycle.

I thought I told you to play nice Bubba? What do you mean you heard there was some extra fuds in it for you?

Out of your PJs yet? LOL

 

At this point, I don't think so, Bobbie. I'm more inclined to think what you're seeing is the depot at play... the residual effects of the higher dose. It usually took 5 cycles for the residual effects to dissipate with Alex... and she was on lower doses.

You know what to do....

 

After I posted,I thought of the depot. Guess I will have to hope that he doesn't go lower than 50 (this is his high point in his cycle usually) And he has 5 more hours with this dose. Yes, showered and out of the PJ's. Glad I got 150 test strips yesterday.

 

What "IF" he would drop below 50 in this cycle, ( I will keep close tabs on him) would I decrease tonight?

 

Do what you have to do to keep him up.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat. = same as last night.

Let's cross that bridge if we come to it. Before I could possibly answer that question I'd have to see how the rest of the cycle plays out... when in the cycle the drop occurred and how much you had to do to try to keep him over 50.
Like I said above, since we know we're seeing leftover depot action, do what you have to do to keep his numbers up.

I can't stay on the computer, but I can drop in in-between appointments.

 

Never trust the depot! It's likely what would cause any low today. For a lot of kitties, it's common to see some active cycles for a few cycles after a reduction. I have to watch for about three cycles after a reduction, didn't matter if she's on a high or lower dose - been both.

Glad you enjoyed your first official PJ party last night.

 

Oh, it was fun. Thank Goodness for Trader Joes dark chocolate truffles. I only ate them because of Bubba.

 

Looking pretty good at this point!

 

Getting ready to test him again in 10 mins.

 

He is 78 @ 8.75 going to give him .75 oz of MC and check in one hour.

 

Sounds good!

 

150 strips should last about 4 days at this rate.

Bobbie, I followed your lead and stayed in jammies until 11! Now I'm heading out into the world to do errands but it was a lovely lazy morning. Hope you feel more rested now!

 

5 days if I ration them out some
Glad you got to have a lazy day too!

 

I bought 500!! Bulk purchase deal!

 

My mom uses the Freestyle Lite, and they are pricey. Luckily she gets them for $16 for a 3 month supply through the VA benefits.

 

83 @ + 10 gave another .75 oz of MC to makes sure I can get him to PMSP w/o more food.

PS decided to also give a tsp of HC just for the money

 

Yes they are pricey, about $24 for 50 if I order from UK (at the pharmacy here I paid $87 for 100) I am back to using my original meter which George decided to send for a swim in his drinking fountain, the strips work out at about $17 for 50. I do like the freestyle though as it only requires a minuscule drop of blood, My sd meter requires a bit more, so I need to be sure to get a good poke!

 

Hope Bubba stays up for your PMPS!!

Think I might be having another PJ party

 

Oh gosh, I am sorry about possibly another slumber party. I sure hope Bubba behave for me...... and that I can shoot him safely at PM time.

 

Good job! Looks like you shouldn't have any problems shooting at shot time!
I won't be available for the next several hours. I don't foresee any problems, but if you have any questions put up that question mark prefix or just put a big old HELP! in your subject line.
I'll check in when I get back...

 

Thanks Jill!

 

Good job getting him up a bit for that pre shot.

 

Glad as a second thought I decided to give him a 1 tsp of HC after the .75 oz of MC.

 

Just like you did yesterday Good call.

 

You are on it Bobbie! He is keeping you dancing, but at least it is a happy dance! Keep up the good work!

 

PM +2, 239 YIKES! Good news: I guess I will get a good night's sleep and I will test him when I get up tonight around + 8. Hope this is residual of HC food late in the cycle and then 2 hours later dinner and not an indicator that the 5 u isn't going to cut it again.....sigh.

 

Hey Bobbie, wow you guys had an all nighter and a busy day! Looks like you may get some rest though. Hopefully it is just a bounce that will clear quickly and the dose will stick!

 

Sleep well. Some kitties like to delay their bounce a cycle or two. Too early yet to say failed reduction.

 

Much too early to call it a failed reduction!
Glad you can get a good night's sleep. Take advantage of it.

 

Thanks @Jill & Alex (GA) and @Wendy&Neko for the reassurance. G'Night

 

You say that like there's something wrong with this?
