OK mental note to anyone who's got a kitten:
Kittens and Pumps DO NOT mix!!!!!
Picture this - I wake up this morning, grab my pump (which was up by my pillow, out of the covers) and go to put some PJ's on. While reaching into my drawer, I realize that the hand which is holding my pump is further away from my body than it should possibly be. Momentary confusion, until I see a short tail of tubing, about 10 inches, dangling free from the reservoir. :eek: This leads me to quickly inspect the tubing that is dangling from my infusion site, because I'm in absolute disbelief that the two are not connected!! :confused: So I check the short end of one, then the short end of the other as though my glare can magically connect the two again. No such luck. Don't think I've ever gotten dressed so fast, nor changed a site so quickly. When I checked my BG is was a ghastly 14.3 (257)!!!!! Thankfully it corrected down within about two hours, although I haven't been feeling on top of my game all day.
Eventually I found the section of tubing that my cat had chewed free - it was about 5 inches and she was still playing with it. How I slept through her performing tubal ligation ;) I'll never know.
From now on I'm either closing my bedroom door and locking her out, or else I'm going to have to break down and wear PJ's to bed.
And to top it all off, when I looked out the window this morning I was greeted by a blanket of snow and more coming down!!!
