Today's Stats:
Breakfast
Although her BP is higher than I'd like, instead of giving her two lisinopril I thought I'd wait and see how things shake out at lunch and dinner. All morning from the time she awoke we were having an animated conversation about going to a couple of places to look for cookie cutters and getting her a new Timex watch at Costco. It was hard to get her to relax her arm and I'm not sure I was ever successful.
Dinner
No lunch stats. We made the trip, although the only place we went to was WalMart and the only errand we accomplished was replacing her watch. She did a fair amount of walkering but was very tired when we got back to the car and announced, of her own accord, that she "just want[ed] to go home." She ate a banana and went to bed.
I should mention that today she had another dry morning, although she is plenty well hydrated (for her). In fact, to her delight, she took an abbreviated bath because she was so dry and I was able to get away with only changing the bottom sheet of her bed. She does not appear to be retaining water unusually. Maybe we've hit our stride with hydration. Finally.
We ordered pizza tonight, which she ate lustily. I did give her two 2.5 lisinopril tablets because of her blood pressure. It clouded up and threatened to rain all day today and she was more stiff than usual so this could account for her higher pressures today.
