Today's Stats:
BM Breakfast
Despite some "trace" dehydration showing in her diastolic, everything is right on the money.
Her Bowel Movemenet was a cleaner-outer: Volume way over excellent; consistency, excellent although a touch on the soft side; elimination, very easy; clean-up, easy.
Non-stat Lunch
Her blood pressure's been doing so well that I couldn't see any reason to take it at lunch, today. Although she arose late and defied me by going in for a nap at 1530 when I told her she couldn't nap until 1600, she was up at about 1620 and eating lunch at 1630: Yoghurt, about a half cup of MCS's Bread & Butter pickles, 5 green pimiento stuffed olives and 11.5 oz V-8 juice. She felt good, looked good, hasn't really needed oxygen much today...she's just been sleeping a lot lately. Oh well. What's new?
Dinner
Wow! We're back in the land of spectacular stats again! Hallelujah! I have no idea how long this will last but I'm enjoying it while I can. At a local grocery, today, I purchased a really delicious looking and smelling already roasted chicken, so she had a hefty, juicy, flavorful chicken thigh and leg for dinner, Uncle Ben's Original Recipe Long Grain and Wild Rice with added sliced green olives stuffed with pimiento and fresh chopped garlic, and peas with sauteed chopped Bermuda onions, celery and bacon seasoned with Greek feta dressing. Mom dove into it as though she'd been starving. I'm totally pleased that her appetite remains so vigorous but I keep wondering if and when she's going to begin to lose it, as I hear this is typical of the declining old. Maybe she never will. Maybe she'll die savoring yet another delectable feast. Wouldn't that be loverly?!?
