Today's Stats:

BM Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1137
    Reading:  104
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1207
    BP:  119/65
    Pulse:  63

    Everything looks good. She has been coughing, some, but she is not swollen anyplace so I think some of the hacking is the result of the extreme humidity over the last few days. She reports that she feels as though she has to clear her throat a lot and I've been doing the same, although not as a cough.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred, as usual, as we bathed her, about noon: Fair volume, excellent consistency, very easy elimination, easy clean-up.
    Lunch will probably be a drawn out affair, as we're planning on watching Gone With the Wind and having popcorn, olives and she'll be having mint cocoa, as well as a large glass of water.
    I'm lagging, a bit, with the yoghurt and I need to work that back in to make sure she doesn't develop vaginal infections from the daily Macrodantin.

Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1650
    BP:  116/59
    Pulse:  63

    Looking good. No further action necessary.

Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2046
    Reading:  190
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2045
    BP:  127/62
    Pulse:  70

    Her heart pulse rate continues to be a little fast; or, maybe it's finally reaching normal, I'm not sure. Anyway, nothing else seems to be going wrong, so I'll just observe it, for awhile.
    The blood glucose is a result of popcorn, olives and mint cocoa (two cups) while we watched Gone With the Wind. I'm not going to worry about this, as readings like this should help her Hemoglobin A1c come up a bit the next time her doctor takes it, which is what he wants.
