Today's Stats:
Breakfast
This was the morning I awoke to the sight of Mom sitting on the floor staring at me, and I called the paramedics to take her to the emergency room in Prescott.
This lone blood glucose stat was taken after we'd arrived home. I bathed her and we ate breakfast, as usual. I can't remember why I didn't take her blood pressure. I think it was because she was pretty run down (or, I suppose, run over) by the ridiculous emergency room experience and I didn't feel like bothering her with the typical instructions about how to make sure the blood pressure was "good".
Lunch
These were actually dinner stats. This is when we had Cobb salad for a second night in a row. She slept through most of the morning and part of the afternoon, after her ER visit, and simply wasn't hungry when she arose, although she was, unusually, thirsty, and, as I recall, drank orange juice (her second glass of the day), tea and V-8 juice before she decided, a little before 1800, that it might be nice to eat.
I am sure I did not give her lisinopril. I am also sure that I gave her double doses, on this day, of garlic and vitamin E. Other than that, I can't swear to anything.
Evening Stats
I don't remember why I took her blood pressure; probably because I knew she was mini-stroking and wanted to see if her brain was calming down. I do know that she had only two real meals, this day, only one dose of glipizide, two of metformin, 425 mg, double doses of vitamin E and garlic and cinnamon in her V-8 juice, which she drank between breakfast and lunch/dinner. She also had popcorn during the evening before bed, but I don't recall administering any night time medication. I do recall that I did not give her Niferex-150 on this day, but did give her her 36 mg dose of Iron Protein Succinylate at both breakfast and lunch/dinner.
