Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1034
    BP:  151/75
    Pulse:  62

    First blood pressure taken immediately after she rose to seat herself on the edge of her bed. The second was taken just before she ate breakfast, just after she took her pills.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at about 1630. Small volume, some trouble expelling (she said she thought she had to "go" but "wasn't ready" whereas, usually, she gets little warning before elimination). Good consistency, though.

    This was her blood pressure immediately after she arose, and I mean immediately after struggling upright. I retook it four minutes later because I figured there were too many mitigating circumstances and it would lower substantially within minutes. I was right. You'll also notice I took a mid-range blood pressure between breakfast and lunch, just to make sure she wasn't having a series of mini-strokes.
