Today's Stats:

Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1548
    Reading:  97
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1548
    BP:  110/63
    Pulse:  66

    Yep, that's right, a very late arising today. Both stats were taken about 45 minutes after she opened her eyes and headed for the edge of the bed; which she was in the bathroom resting on the stool, awaiting bathing. Even in the heat of the bathroom she mentioned she felt "a little cool". I meant to take her temperature but forgot. Her urine was still slightly bloody. She was, however, very alert, not groggy as she sometimes is when sleeping for so long. So, she must have needed it.
    I dispensed with her iron supplement (and her multi-vitamin, just in case) this morning in favor of 500 mg Levaquin, dispensed as two 250 mg tablets administered with "breakfast", which exactly matched her first dose 24 hours previous.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2055
    Reading:  140
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2054
    BP:  118/62
    Pulse:  63

    Blood Glucose is normal for having had breakfast so soon before dinner and snacking (on a peach) in between. I decided to go for only one 2.5 mg lisinopril last night. Her blood pressure is doing fine.
