Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1254
    Reading:  141
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1317
    BP:  149/65
    Pulse:  53

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2018
    Reading:  128
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2014
    BP:  136/62
    Pulse:  57

    Very late "mornings" and nights, again. Normal breakfast. All pills given. No extras. Eye drops twice. Lunch was cottage cheese and peanuts with coffee.
    Dinner was a reimagined version of some home made vegetable, the overflow of which I froze. When I thawed it today I added curry powder and a beef flavored thickener, which turned it into something that I imagine would qualify for the category "slumgullion", a word an old friend of mine uses to refer to food mixtures of finally indistinguishable elements. My mother liked it. I didn't. I was planning on throwing the rest out but she protested. "I'll eat it again."
    She retired at 0150 5/30/06. Her light went out at 0230.
