1/4 tsp cinnamon on bread
6 oz orange juice diluted w/8 oz water
Med/Dose Administration Explanation
Niferex-150 [150 mg elemental iron] 1 hour before breakfast to pull her out of what I hope is her temporarily severely anemic state

garlic/1250 mg with meal standard breakfast supplement; a natural antibiotic and anti-coagulant
1/2 cup pure cranberry juice w/12 oz water with or after meal standard twice a day supplement for kidney protection and enhancement of waste management

    Nothing much to say about breakfast, today. Her blood pressure's a bit high, but I'm not doing well and am barking at her, some, so it's to be expected, I guess.

Rest of the Day
    She had her lunch and dinner, with her standard pills and such, within good increments, etc., but I had a lousy day, today, for the most part, and just didn't get around to recording stats.
    She had her usual for lunch. For dinner she had approx 1.5 cups of the last of the bean and ham soup and 1 slice sourdough garlic cheese bread.
