BM Full Day Stats:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1026
    Reading:  138
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1022
    BP:  155/81
    Pulse:  70

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2025
    Reading:  129
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2025
    BP:  133/74
    Pulse:  57

    So, yeah, I'm a little concerned about her BP, considering that she's been light on the fluids, lately, and absolutely no signs of CHF. Her evening BP is the second of two. The first, taken a mere two minutes previous, while I was disturbing her watching of the "new" Ten Commandments was 143/69; 61. So, you see, that was purely annoyance. The second time a commercial was playing.
    She got all three iron supplements today; also, I substituted an adult buffered aspirin for the 81 mg she usually gets this morning, just because she seemed a bit more stiff than usual and I wanted her voluntary, exceedingly early arising (around 1000 on her own) to be a pleasant experience.
    Her "lunch", which is now required because we need to work in the third iron supplement, occurred at 1815: V-8 juice and a 1 oz bag of salted peanuts, plus iron.
    Dinner: KFC chicken pot pies.
    Headed for bed at 2220; light went out at 2250. So, I'm expecting an early (maybe earlier?) arising tomorrow.
    Initial pronouncement? I think she needed the extra iron and it has already kicked in.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred while she was awaiting her morning (which really was a morning this morning) bath, say around 1010: Fairly good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
