BM A Bit More than Stats:

Blood Glucose:
    Time:  0945
    Reading:  130
Blood Pressure:
    No longer taken at this
    time unless necessary

    I was expecting her blood sugar to be a bit higher than usual in the morning. It always is when we have hamburgers and fries because of the amount of ketchup Mom insists on consuming when she eats these. Her reading was a little higher than I was expecting, but I chalked that up to the fact that she her appetite was roaring yesterday and she assuaged it more often than usual.
    Meds as usual. Breakfast was again two eggs. Lunch? Hmmm...oh, yes. Pretty hearty. Some left over More than Mac & Cheese and mandarin oranges in light syrup, drained. Dinner was, at her request, ham and eggs, two eggs, and V-8 juice.
    As you can see, she was up earlier than she's been in a long time, on her own; finished with breakfast long before noon. Lunch was served at 1515, dinner at around 2000. She asked for a snack once, about an hour after breakfast. I gave her a limited choice of very, very low carb snacks, nothing that she wanted, so she refused it.
    Short nap. Retired at 2200.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred about a half hour after lunch: Small but not awfully small volume, so easily expelled that she didn't realize she had to have a bowel movement until it happened; excellent consistency, very easy clean-up. I still have no idea what caused her extremely runny fecal accident a few days ago, but I am relieved that we're back to normal eliminations, again.
