I made it into work today…
I made it into work today. With the three-day weekend coming up, I think I can tough out one day here. Looking back at my last two blog entries, it’s apparent that much happened between “I do think we’ll be…
RIP Mickey

Mickey will be at the vet overnight
Mickey will be at the vet overnight tonight, and perhaps tomorrow night as well. His sugar level’s still over 400. Tomorrow, they’ll do blood tests every 2 hours tomorrow and tweak his insulin until it gets under control. (sigh) I…
So the Vet got mad at David…
So the Vet got mad at David because we gave Mickey 3 units of insulin this morning when we were expressly told not to. If he was hypoglycemic, the insulin would have killed him. Of course, we KNEW he wasn’t…
