Today's Stats:

BM Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1224
    Reading:  93
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1240
    BP:  129/67
    Pulse:  54

    Mom was actually up at noon. It just took a little while and a lot of conversation to move her toward bathing. She awoke full of a dream about her dream home that we both felt the need to and wanted the pleasure of discussing.
    I'm happy with her BG. I'm reserving judgment on her BP.
    Breakfast was her egg scrambled into bulk sage sausage and some marmalade on her toast. No extra meds.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1230 just before bathing: Very good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.

Lunch
    Normal lunch once again, around 1640: cottage cheese, V-8 juice and MCS;s Bread & Butter pickles.

BM Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2008
    Reading:  117
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2005
    BP:  133/64
    Pulse:  66

    We had a dinner salad (a minor version of Cobb Salad, without the meat and egg) and the rest of the sauerkraut and kielbasa from last night.
    I decided to up her lisinopril dosage by 2.5 mg (one tablet). Otherwise, no changes in medication.
    At about 2100 Mom headed into the bathroom with what she called "gas". She actually had a minor Bowel Movement which felt, to her, like major gas expellation: Poor volume but fine as a follow-up to her earlier movement today; loose consistency but not diarrheaic; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up. I think this movement was caused by the extremely high fiber dinner. Undigested sauerkraut was distinguishable in her movement, the last hurrah, so to speak. I was pleased about it.
    She was up until 2345. Her light went out a little after midnight.
