BM Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1152
    Reading:  159
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1147
    BP:  117/61
    Pulse:  59

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2125
    Reading:  111
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2131
    BP:  144/61
    Pulse:  55

    Today, "A.M." stats really did happen in the morning. She was sitting up in bed at 1115, headed into the bathroom at 1130. I'm sure breakfast, which was corned beef hash with egg, no toast, was finished before 1300. That's unusual.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1445: Fairly good volume; very good consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    She started her nap about 1500. She was up and eating a light lunch of heavily peppered cottage cheese and V-8 juice with her second Niferex-150 of the day. No extra vitamin C.
    I know why Mom's blood pressure was high. She was watching the movie Independence Day and I turned it off for a few minutes so she could concentrate on relaxing her arm. Like that worked.
    Dinner was chili dogs with home made chili, lots of chopped fresh Bermuda onions, lots of grated yellow sharp Cheddar, on whole wheat bolillo rolls, the "dog" was a kosher beef "polish sausage". I'll be giving her a second glipizide when she goes to bed, to ameliorate the possibility of hoppin' blood sugar tomorrow morning.
    As I polish this off, she's still up watching Sex and the City. I'll report back on her bed time.
    She retired at 2330. Her light went off at 0006, 4/8/06.
