    Normal breakfast today; light lunch, she refused anything, in fact, so I quietly put a 1 oz bag of peanuts on her TV table, which she noticed and ate; for dinner I served Leftover Jamboree which included the rest of the Mac & Cheese with meat, extra cheese, chopped onions, celery and sun dried tomatoes from a few days ago and the home made chicken soup with loads of vegetables from a week or so ago.
    Her first Bowel Movement occurred at 1530: Fairly good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up. I was expecting more, though, and sure enough, a second Bowel Movement occurred at 1830: Very good volume; somewhat smeary consistency; very easy elimination; somewhat challenging clean-up.
    I gave her a second 10 mg dose of furosemide this morning with breakfast because her right foot was still noticeably pudgy. She's been shedding water all day, but not as boluminously as I'd expect with the two doses of furosemide under her belt. This evening when I rubbed her legs down, her right foot was a bit swollen, although not nearly as bad as last night. Her left foot looked good for evening.
    She retired at midnight, straight up. Her light went off at 0020, 3/21/06, just a few minutes ago. She was in an excellent mood, very good humor.
