BM Breakfast Stats - All Non-stats:

Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1000
    Reading:  94
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1015
    BP:  130/62
    Pulse:  56

    I have been forgetting to mention that the last two days, while we've had company, instead of toast for breakfast we've been having pumpkin raisin walnut bread. Since I haven't been taking stats throughout the day I have no idea how this has been affecting her blood glucose.
    Although it may seem that I should be worried about a 130 systolic, her diastolic tells me that I didn't wait long enough after she shuffled into the bathroom and seated herself on the toilet to await her bath to take her resting BP. She was excited, too, to get out and mix with company, which has to be factored in.
    Company left around noon. She spent spent a fair amount of time recuperating from the visit in bed. Lunch was light...a banana was all she wanted. Because of this we ate dinner relatively early for us, around 1900. We had kosher chili polish sausages on buns with lots of chopped green onions and a sprinkling of grated yellow cheddar sharp cheese. She retired early, at 2130, but was up and down several times after this until midnight, thinking of things about the visit she wanted to disucss, so I'm considering that she actually went to bed at midnight.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred after awakening from her nap at 1630, just previous to lunch: Fair volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up. Since she hasn't eliminated much in the last few days, quick company always throws a monkey wrench into her normal elimination schedule and her lower belly was clearly a bit bloated, last night before she retired I gave her one Colace tablet to ensure that her bowels clean themselves out tomorrow.
