BM BM Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1306
    Reading:  137
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1321
    BP:  146/73
    Pulse:  71

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2009
    Reading:  129
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2003
    BP:  153/75
    Pulse:  75

    Mom's been feeling very alert and energetic, today, so I'm not sure what the problem with her BP is, but I'm not going to worry about it. She doesn't seem to be retaining unusual amounts of fluid, or anything.
    Breakfast was egg scrambled in crumbled, fried, defatted bulk sausage with a southwestern heavy-on-the-chili spice and a croissant.
    Lunch was normal, V-8 juice and peanuts.
    Dinner was a version of my Quick Chicken Curry, made with the left over roast chicken from a couple of nights ago, three tsp curry powder instead of two and loads of chopped vegetables including broccoli, Bermuda onion, green pepper, celery and carrots.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1500: Poor volume; hard consistency; very easy elmination; very easy clean-up. She is, by the way, getting an extra teaspoon of Benefiber in her evening liquid. Maybe we need more, but not as much as an extra Tbl. I'm going to wait awhile before I include it in her Current Meds & Supplements.
    She had yet another Bowel Movement on her way to an earlier than usual retirement at 2235: Poor volume (although both these poor volumes together would have made for a fairly good volume); much less rocky consistency but smooth; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    She hasn't gone to bed, yet. Isn't even looking that way. I'll report back later.
    At of 2254 she has retired but her light is on. She may be reading for awhile, considering that this is an unusually early bedtime for her. I'll record lights out time later. 2305, lights out.
