Breakfast Stats:

Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1012
    Reading:  123
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1024
    BP:  122/68
    Pulse:  74

    These were the only stats I took today. I thought I was having a good day, today, but it slowly, almost imperceptibly, turned sour. It didn't for Mom, really, until much later. More over at the main journal.
    At any rate, for lunch she had a "cold" (vs. grilled) ham and cheese sandwich on on onion bun with mustard, yellow sharp cheddar, two slices deli sliced honey ham and a good quarter cup MCS's Bread & Butter pickles. That happened about 1530.
    For dinner, which happened around 2030, we decided on Just Desserts: we finished off the brownies I made last week, two apiece, and each had a couple scoops of English Toffee ice cream.
    Around dinner time Mom's feet looked as though I probably should've taken her blood pressure and monitored it again before she went to bed. She probably could have used a third lisinopril, but I didn't measure it. Her belly was retaining some water, too. If she looks swollen in the morning, I'll give her some furosemide.
    It rained today, and looks like we'll have some thundershowers tomorrow. As usual, this appears to be affecting both her breathing and her water retention quotient.
