Combined Stats: 7/26 - 7/27/05
Breakfast 7/26/05
This was the only time I took stats on Doctor Day; when she awoke in the morning. I remember wondering if she actually needed a 12 hour sleep at night in order to lower her blood sugar to normal range.
She ate a healthy breakfast. We ate lunch at around 1130; well stacked tuna salad sandwiches on hearty, dark, whole grain bread that we bought at Starbucks. For dinner we went to Black Angus. She had an 8 oz slice of prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes and a side salad, with a couple of hunks torn off the table bread. She left little on her plate. We were both hungry.
Just as a note, although our day was not particularly active, quite a bit of it was spent in the motel room or in the car, she didn't take a nap. There were a couple of times when she could have, but refused, satisfied to watch TV in the motel, go along with me to Ulta to buy some shampoo that I can't get up here, and read the bible left in the motel room.
She did want to try to walk into and out of the restaurant without the walker, with just my assistance. That's the last time we do that, and I told her so. Although she thinks not using the walker helps her maintain her dignity, I practically ended up carrying her into and out of the restaurant, and that lent dignity to neither of us.
BM No Stats 7/27/05
I didn't take any stats today; gave her a rest of needles and numbers. Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1130, about an hour after she awoke, right after she dressed after her bath: Fair volume, excellent consistency, she said elimination was "a little difficult", clean-up, though, was very easy, as has been usual, lately.
Although Mom was up for at least 10 hours, she was particularly hungry when she awoke from her nap; she only ate an 8 oz carton of yoghurt. She ate a very healthy dinner, though; asked for Kentucky Fried Chicken, which I got for us. She ate an original recipe thigh and a large helping of KFC macaroni and cheese and green beans, as well as a bisquit. Today was her first day of taking the daily antibiotic, 100 mgs Macrodantin, which I'll be administering at dinner every night, in order to prevent her UTIs.
