So Popcorn hasn't been feeling well lately. She has had a stuffy nose and has been really thirsty. Some days she'll pee alot, others she won't pee at all. So KC took her to the vet and they ran some tests and she has been diagnosed with Diabetes! So now she is on insulin.. now for a normal person this would be sad, but it cracks me up. Not because I think it's funny that she has it. I get home from clinicals, ask the boyfriend how the vet went and explains to me that she has diabetes, and I will be giving her insulin injections. So I check the stuff from the vet/pharmacy and find the script to say (NPH 10 units BID) in non-medical terms it means 10 units of normal insulin twice a day. Then I open the box of insulin and it's the insulin I use at the hospital!
I guess it's really not that funny... but in my nerd nurse (in training) brain I find it comical...
here's a picture of her all tucked in ready for bed
