Today's Stats:
BM Breakfast
Well, our Just Desserts dinner of blueberry cobbler settled well overnight. I'm still a bit concerned about her blood pressure, but her feet and belly looked good this morning. She was eating breakfast by 1230 today, which is good; ate a hearty one of sausage and 1.3 eggs with toast and orange juice. I'm giving her about 8 oz of orange juice, now, mixed with 8 oz of water, which, I'm sure, tastes better to her and gives her a little more glucose oomph.
Her Bowel Movement happened on schedule today, at about 1400: fair volume, excellent consistency, very easy elimination and very easy clean-up.
Dinner
You'll notice almost an hour's difference between the blood pressure stats and the blood glucose stats. I was concerned about her blood pressure when she awoke from her nap, just because it was a little high this morning. She wanted hamburgers, though, and wasn't really interested in eating much in the way of a snack between awakening and dinner, which she'd already announced should be hamburgers and MCS's homemade Bread & Butter pickles. I gave her a glass of V-8 juice, knowing that she wouldn't be getting much in the way of vegetables at dinner since when she has a home made hamburger (on an onion bun with a thick slice of Bermuda onion, an equally thick slice of sharp yellow cheddar and dill pickle relish), that's all she wants (well, except for the pickles). She was pretty thirsty and drank it down pretty fast. Afterward, I took her blood pressure, which looked good, and waited until about 15 minutes before dinner to take her blood glucose.
Other than her joints bothering her because of the weather, she seems to be feeling much better than yesterday. About a half hour ago I gave her one extra strength acetaminophen that should help settle her for bed.
