Recap: After coming out of the gate strong with good pee-sticks, she managed to muff the first fence, scraping over beta #1 with a score of less than 100. Her form has improved considerably between the first and second fence. Beta #2 came back at a very respectable 308, for a doubling time of 44 hours. She's clearly rattled by the first fence, but let's not write her off just yet. This one may yet have a chance.
Okay, I'll... stop talking about myself in the third person as if I were a horse now. I'm a little punchy and adrenaline-y. My heart was pounding as I clicked open that email.
So! Here I am. Her Indoors is going away on a trip and then I'm going away on a trip so I get to learn how to give myself IM injections. Thank goodness my bum's mostly numb by now.
I'm grateful. What I wanted was either
1) A clearly good results, like this, or
2) A clearly bad results.
And, of course, I rather preferred #1.
I dreaded getting a 180, a 200, something like that -- not quite low enough to pull the plug immediately, but far too low to be healthy. So I'm damn grateful.
Next beta on Thursday.

ReplyDeleteHooray! This is the post I was very much hoping to see when I opened my reader. Looks like the calculator thinks you're smack-dab in the middle of normal! Will continue keeping everything crossed through Thursday.
