    Reading:  129
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1311
    BP:  129/61
    Pulse:  55

    Reading:  127

    I didn't have the heart to awaken Mom any earlier than she got herself up, this morning. It just seemed like it was going to be a verrrry sloooow day for her, and it was. Her stats look good, though.
    Breakfast again involved ham, but no more scones, thank the glycemic gods.
    She took a pretty hefty nap, today: Almost three hours. I let her go. She seemed in good spirits during the evening. Really enjoyed dinner, which was ham sandwiches, she opted for cheese on hers, between slices of sourdough bread with mustard, pickled asparagus spears and Variety Chips (the bottoms of a couple of bags).
    I've had her on oxygen when she's up on and off for the past two days, including today. Although she gives no other indications of fluid retention, she has been mouth breathing a lot today.
    Yes, another bowel movement, occurring just before her bathing at 1250: Almost excellent volume; somewhat smeary consistency; very easy elimination; somewhat challenging clean-up.
