Today's Stats:

BM Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1140
    Reading:  100
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1200
    BP:  109/53
    Pulse:  56

    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1235, after her bath, while she was dressing. She reported that elimination was "a little difficult, not bad"; volume was fair to good; consistency excellent, clean-up very easy.
    She was very slow this morning. It took 10 minutes for me to coax her hand over the edge of the bed so I could take her blood glucose; another 20 minutes to coax her into sitting up for her blood pressure. Everything looks good, though. I hoping to get an exercise session in sometime today, although I've got a lot to do before tomorrow, including Mom's hair, and something tells me that she isn't going to want to go without a nap, today.

Snack
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1739
    Reading:  146
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1738
    BP:  96/51
    Pulse:  60

    Pretty dehydrated, yes, even after all the fluid I pushed while she was up. No, she hasn't had any furosemide since night before last. These were taken right after her nap. Her feet and belly look good, though. She's having a snack of yoghurt, since we'll probably be eating dinner about 2000.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2013
    Reading:  110
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2016
    BP:  137/62
    Pulse:  53

    I'll be checking her BP before she goes to bed, of course, but, I'm actually pleased it's where it is. Her feet look good, as well.
    For dinner she had sauerkraut w/polish sausage and fennel seeds; toasted garlic cheese bread; a small dinner salad with a variety of fresh vegetables and homemade Ranch dressing.

Bedtime
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2216
    BP:  122/56
    Pulse:  60

    Well, everything looks fine. No need for a third lisinopril tonight.
