BM Full Stat Day

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1309
    Reading:  131
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1306
    BP:  118/61
    Pulse:  59

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2125
    Reading:  124
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2101
    BP:  132/65
    Pulse:  55

    We're back to normal, it seems, at least for today, as far as her sleep quotient is concerned.
    Breakfast involved a substitution of polish sausage for the bacon. Lunch was her normal V-8 juice and peanuts. I forgot to administer her second iron capsule, though, although I gave her a 200 mg ibuprofen for her knee, which, again, gave her "fits" for awhile. She's been wearing the knee bandage every day because it remains loose and prone to slip. I'm not sure why. Once it "slipped" going down the steps into the living room; another time it apparently "slipped" in bed. Yet another time it "slipped" because of the way she was sitting at the kitchen table with her feet cocked behind the front legs of the chair. It's always something, I guess.
    I suggested another Cobb salad, tonight, but she remembered that we had pot pies and was more in the mood for that, so that's what I served: Marie Callendar's Turkey Pot Pie.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 2110: Good volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    She retired at 0020, 06/06/06. Her light went off at 0045.
