forgotten in truck

Yesterday when we were running errands, I had to change my pod and I opened a new bottle of Novolog. I put the supplies into my purse but when I was looking for my supplies this morning so I could put the bottle into the frig I couldn't find them. Turns out my supply bag fell out of my purse and spent the evening, overnight and better part of this morning in my truck. Yesterday it was 91 degrees outside the truck and in the upper 70's this morning. I know I should throw the bottle out. Losing…See More

Hi busymom- Good for you taking in an older cat. Several years ago we adopted a neighbor's 10 yo cat ( 1 of her boys had allergies ) She lived another 4 years and adapted quite well to our home. Now we have 2 adopted kitties from a local no-kill shelter. We have had them for 3 years and they are great fun to have around. If you have any questions on cats or D, just stop by my page. Cat =^..^=
