A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1255
    BP:  126/60
    Pulse:  82

    Meals were a bit topsy turvey. Mom talked ice cream all day so I figured last night would be a good time to finish off the little bit of the non-chocolate ice cream we had left from the holidays. In case you're wondering, to Mom, there are only three flavors of ice cream: Chocolate, Butter Pecan and Non-Chocolate, in that order. I was continuing to hanker, as well, for non-cured Canadian Ham and Jarlsburg Swiss. So, lunch/dinner (which happened late enough to qualify) was a drawn out affair beginning with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches on sourdough and V-8 juice at about 2030 and Non-Chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce at about 2200. Her pills were administered throughout the evening; supplements and antibiotic at dinner; blood sugar and aloe vera gel with ice cream; lisinopril at bedtime. Also administered 10 mg furosemide in the morning because of some noticeable upper torso fluid retention.
    Bowel Movement occurred at 2115: Good volume; good consistency but a little hard, probably due to the furosemide yesterday and it's diuretic effect; elimination extended but not hard; very easy clean-up.
