BM Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1437
    Reading:  140
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1434
    BP:  115/66
    Pulse:  72

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2129
    Reading:  120
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2124
    BP:  137/64
    Pulse:  65

    Breakfast substituted bulk sausage for bacon; otherwise normal.
    Eye drops again today; three times so far. Got in all three iron capsules.
    Lunch was heavily peppered cottage cheese with peanuts and coffee (decaf instant).
    Dinner was a Marie Callendar's Pot Pie, Creamy Chicken with Mushroom. I noticed, the other night, that she really relishes pot pies and it's getting too warm to heat up the oven for an hour or so in the evening, so I thought we'd try Marie's. Hit the spot for Mom.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1910: Fairly good volume; excellent consistency; easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    She hasn't retired yet. I don't expect her to even be interested in retiring for several hours, yet, seeing as how her days have been ending, lately, in the early morning and beginning in the early afternoon. I'll report back when she goes to bed.
    Well, as it turns out I was wrong. She announced that she was "awfully tired" at about midnight. I insisted that we rub down her legs. That and getting her ready for bed kept her up until about 0030, 6/2/06. She read for a good half hour before turning out her light, which was dowsed at a little after 0100.
