Today's Stats:

Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1305
    Reading:  101
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1256
    BP:  118/65
    Pulse:  57

    Breakfast meat this morning was polish sausage. For her bread she got a pumpkin cranberry muffin.

BM Non-stat Lunch
    Because she awoke so late (it rained today) she didn't take much of a nap and didn't "go down" until late. When she awoke, around 1730, she had a pretty good lunch: 11.5 oz V-8 juice, six pimiento stuffed olives and 8 oz non-fat, artificially sweetened yoghurt.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred about an hour before she laid down, at 1510: Fair volume, excellent consistency, very easy elimination, very easy clean-up.

Dinner
    I just didn't have the heart, this evening, to take stats. It's been a pretty low down day for Mom, physically, because of the rain and the low, but her spirit has been good. We spent the evening watching movies. Around 2100 she mentioned she was "a little hungry, not much". I suggested popcorn to go with our second movie. She ate a 3.5 ounce bag "with extra butter, please". About 2230 she wanted "something sweet". I don't know why, maybe it was the weather; as you know I rarely stock our freezer with ice cream. But I anticipated her request at the grocery this afternoon and picked up one of her favorite ice creams, Rocky Road. I gave her a bowl full. "That hit the spot," she said.
