    Although she slept in, once she awoke she moved quickly (for her) seemed to feel better, certainly looked fine.
    Again, 2 eggs, and two pieces of toast, today, too, with a generous portion of the roast ham.
    She flagged early, though, was back down for a pretty long nap by 1430. Awoke around 1800. Looked good, felt good, and rested. Not hung over with sleep.

    Again, only two meals today. She's spent a lot of time sleeping and had kind of a mini lunch when she had her antibiotics and acetaminophen around 1315. So, when she slept so long this afternoon, I decided, when she awoke, our next meal would be dinner, and prepared to take her stats, which look great.
    Again, she didn't stay up all that long. She was back in bed by 2015. But, she seems to be feeling well, just tired. I'd be tired, too, if I'd been having a urinary tract infection as long as she has.
