BM Half Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1237
    Reading:  143
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1318
    BP:  139/68
    Pulse:  56

    Evening stats got lost in the process of starting dinner, realizing I didn't have it all together and deciding to get fast food. I gave Mom her choice: Carl's burger, Taco Bell, KFC; she chose the burger. She also wanted onion rings, so I decided to give her a second glipizide this evening. No lunch at all, today...she napped through lunch.
    And, yes, I awoke her after less than her usual 12 hours. I forgot to go back in and mention that Mom was back up last night as I closed off my last post of the day over at The Mom & Me Journals dot Net and we were up talking until a little after 0200. I don't know why she was so active last night, but she was up on her own at 1230 today, which was fine with me.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 2330: Fair volume; excellent consistency; easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    As usual, I'm timing this before I'm writing it. As of this moment, it's 0025, 3/24/05. Mom's been in bed for 20 minutes. Her light is still on. I'll be going to bed soon. She's got a blood draw tomorrow so I'll be getting her up at 1000. I pre-"warned" her twice. I need to make sure I get up at least two hours ahead and get everything together so that bath time goes relatively quickly and I can finish her hair and get her to the lab before noon.
