Today's Stats:
Breakfast
Today is the first day of instituting 10 mg lisinopril once a day. The pills are pretty big, in case I decide to split them and deliver it as 5 mg twice a day. We'll see how it goes. I'm starting as it's been prescribed.
Breakfast was normal.
BM Lunch
I forgot to take her blood pressure until about 30 minutes after she'd finished her lunch because of the "excitement" of her Bowel Movement, which occurred at 1545: Poor volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
Although she hadn't moved much, today, she was hungry when she awoke. She also asked if we "had something sweet around." So for lunch I gave her cottage cheese heavily peppered, about 1/2 cup of MCS's Bread & Butter pickles, 11.5 oz V-8 juice and a slice of eggnog bread.
Dinner
You can see the eggnog bread standing up and shouting "Hello" in her blood glucose.
For dinner I made corned beef hash (from scratch with a fresh corned beef brisket) sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper and cabbage lightly steamed with a mixture of classically Italian herbs and generously sprinkled with tarragon vinegar immediately before serving. She ate well.
I'm very pleased with how her blood pressure is doing on the new dosage and administration of lisinopril. I notice she's been very tired today. She decided she was ready for bed at 2115. In addition, she took a two hour nap, which she hasn't done in awhile, and commenced it fairly soon after breakfast. I looked up lisinopril and tiredness at the beginning of a new, higher dosage is not uncommon. It's not uncommon when one begins lisinopril. I don't remember how she reacted when she began it some years ago, though. I should probably check my journals. At that time, too she was decidedly more active in her life.
