Today's Stats:

Breakfast

Blood Glucose:     Time:  1211     Reading:  88

Blood Pressure:     Time:  1223     BP:  120/59     Pulse:  59

    When I peaked in on her at noon she was untangling herself from her bedsheets, ready to rise. Everything looks good, everything's been going good.

Lunch

Blood Glucose:     Time:  Not taken

Blood Pressure:     Time:  1755     BP:  110/55     Pulse:  69

    Nice looking blood pressure.
    For lunch she had her usual, 8 oz non-fat, artificially sweetened yoghurt, 6 pimiento stuffed green olives and about 1/3 cup of MCS's Bread & Butter pickles. I continue, by the way, to put a heaping table-type teaspoon of wheat germ in her yoghurt. No V-8 juice today. She didn't want it; she wanted water. She so rarely asks for water that when she wants it, she gets it, lickety split.

Dinner

Blood Glucose:     Time:  2026     Reading:  120

Blood Pressure:     Time:  2025     BP:  133/65     Pulse:  68

    Yes, I will indeed take her blood pressure again before she retires, although I think the cause of the high systolic was that she and I were having an animated conversation which she insisted on continuing while I was taking her blood pressure, wagging her fingers to accent her statements, thus tensing the muscles in her arm. This wrist cuff can be awfully sensitive.
    For dinner we had home made ham salad on a bed of dark greens and mmmm, Blueberry Cobbler. She insisted on having hers with heavy cream, which I always have in the refrigerator because I use it to make cocoa in the evening and I never know when she's going to want it on something.

Bedtime

Blood Glucose:     Time:  Not taken

Blood Pressure:     Time:  2210     BP:  123/62     Pulse:  78

    This was taken a full hour before she retired. It was at this time that she first "threatened" retirement, so I took it. It's fine. No need for a third lisinopril.
