BM Half Stat Day:

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2128
    Reading:  112
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2127
    BP:  115/57
    Pulse:  64

    Dinner tonight was home made corned beef hash with added onions. Breakfast was modified by serving polish sausage instead of bacon. Lunch was cottage cheese, V-8 juice and a 1 oz bag of peanuts. Lunch happened at about 1830.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 2000: Fair volume; excellent consistency; easy elimination; easy clean-up. It should be noted that, earlier in the day, around 1500, Mom thought she had a bowel movement but there was nothing in the toilet. Could be that it was a very small volume movement that slid down into the pipe immediately upon elimination. Then, again, could have been gas.
    Today's day last almost exactly from noon to midnight, giving 15 or 20 minutes of "bedroom light still on" time after retirement. I'm aiming for a full stat day, tomorrow, and plan on awakening her at noon. I expect it to be a fully sugared day, as well: I'll be serving her a sweet roll at breakfast, as well as the rest of the corned beef hash with her egg. As well, I figure I'd better make the shortcake (which will be biscuit based) and serve some of those marinating strawberries/raspberries and freeze the rest before they ferment into alcohol, or worse.
