I figured I better start a new thread before I get in trouble for keeping an old one going too long.
We don't have any new data because the sensor died and for a few days we are pausing. Since they won't get back to me I will probably have to give in and take Jessi Tuesday for yet another visit just so they can officially decide to schedule a surgery date, although I am trying to convince them to do without that. If they insist on me bringing her, I will have them put the sensor on then. If I have to take her anyway, I can't do two different stressful events close together.
If they agree to cancel the appointment and give me a date instead I will find someone to help me put another sensor on in a new location. We are almost ready for that with all the necessary supplies.
BG testing is also on pause. She got so traumatized recently by my brutish attempt that I had to stop. Then she got traumatized by a bandage change too, yesterday although nothing unusual happened. But that was when I made the choice to change our set up entirely.
I also created a totally new approach to covering the tumor which has improved our lives immensely. I wrote about that in the previous thread and in my SCC thread:

Who knows, maybe some of these experience will be useful to someone else who is struggling to find solutions in a difficult situation. Hope so!
I still want to hear people's guesses as to what I used to line the turtleneck and protect the tumor.
I'm trying to be playful to lighten up an otherwise heavy situation, can you tell?
I will keep updating and checking in. I don't want to drop out every time the sensor dies. Although it is a good time for putting my attention more on all the other aspects of her care, and even slipping in one or two things for myself, it doesn't feel right to just disappear from here just because we have no data, you know?
No matter how rough things get and no matter how much I may slip down into bad feelings, I am always super grateful to you all and to this forum for being there, even if no one actually responds to my messages it helps just to have a place to share!
