4/7 Indy - AMPS 215

4/3

Hey everyone,

Meant to post yesterday but it ended up slipping my mind. Indy's appetite is back with a vengeance. The fortiflora seems to be helping him. Was a little worried over the weekend because he hadn't pooped. Gave him a bit of miralax and he pooped overnight Sunday night/Monday morning. That was anxiety provoking. I don't know if it is because of the fortiflora or just because of his increased appetite but I think we are going to be looking at increasing back to .75u. He was rocking the .5u for awhile but we have a yellow 2 hours before AMPS and it has been steadily going up. Going to keep my patience pants on and see if it is a fluke especially since he was in the 70s last night. I know that hubby smelled a bit of insulin on him at AMPS yesterday, so I guess that could have affected it. Patience pants....must keep on my patience pants.

In other news, spring break is over and I feel just as exhausted as when it began. Part of that is because of the anxiety of Indy's IBD flare-up and then the resulting depression hangover. I had one day that I literally just dozed on the couch....all day. I accomplished nothing. But my anxiety and depression wouldn't let me move. Also, messed with my appetite. Went to a 90th birthday party for my dad and my social anxiety was alive and well. My mom was concerned because I was so quiet. To end on a positive note, we got professional pictures done of some of the reptiles, the photos are unprocessed but they look amazing! I can't wait to see how they turn out.
 
239....I don't like it...I don't like it at all.

EDIT: It autocorrected to 215. And then I think he laid on it because it dived down quick to 179....lol.

Sending lots of hugs your way, Jessica. You and your hubby are doing a great job with sweet Indy!:bighug::bighug:

Sorry your break is over, it's so nice to have a bit of time off now and then to recharge!

Glad to hear Indy is eating well, hang on to those patience pants and safe surfing to Indy 🌊 :cat:💙

He is dropping fast today.... +2 we are at 157, so I feel a bit better.

Still crazy to me that he is 18 years old. (or just about, don't have an exact birthday, though I have had him since he was a kitten in 2008). He has never been a big cuddler or anything. Has become more stoic as he has gotten older. But he has his bed on my desk and that is *his* spot. He will reach out for me while I am at my computer and almost always stands up to greet me when I enter the room. Love my old man for as long as we may have him.
