Dear Mom,
Felt well enough today to work in the studio. I'll finish up a couple orders tomorrow to send out Monday; one is for a new store: an online boutique called Orange Button. That's pretty much it for right now.
Jack's numbers had been slowly sliding down every time I tested, with this morning the lowest pre-shot number in a long long time, and then tonight the number was high again. The company where I order his b-12 supplements sent a catalog this time, and I was looking through it, and found a couple things that are supposed to be good for people with diabetes. I am tempted to try low doses on Jack. This week was a frustrating one with the local vets--Jacks' vet stocks the insulin I am using but not the right size syringe. They won't order me the right size, but aren't supposed to write prescriptions for other vets to fill, even when the other vet in the area has the right needles in stock. And none of these vets know what to do with the supplies they have on hand, as none of them have ever treated diabetic cats. I got it all worked out, but it's weird to have these doctors know nothing about diabetes.
Anyway, I'm going to take a shower now.
More tomorrow.
Love,
Ruth

Dear Ruth,
Sounds like the new insulin is working, but have no idea why Jack spiked again--- did you figure that out? Fill me in next phone call.
The reason the vets probably don't know much about diabetes treatment in cats is their clients put their diabetic cats to sleep early on. But it is surprising that they don't take more of an interest for the few patients who hang on. Perhaps you can be a test case for those vets, and stretch their learning curve.
I went to Orange Button, and like them very much. O Joy Designs and AKA Design stood out. Nice website!
Glad you are feeling better... and able to work in the studio again. That's good to hear.
I've been knitting for last 3 days, pretty much it for accomplishment. Except I finally did get all our addresses transferred into a new ring binder. Had to do it in 3 stages... so tedious. Today my desk looks clean, bills paid, and new address book, a bright red, is ready to be of use. Old black one is stored in bottom of filing drawer just in case I made mistakes.
Need a phone call sometime soon. When you get caught up, and when you stop coughing. Been thinking about you lots and lots. Finished off the chicken soup, so you'd better be feeling perfect again!
Love,
mom
