Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1119
    Reading:  150
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1128
    BP:  158/76
    Pulse:  68

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1959
    Reading:  94
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1954
    BP:  144/71
    Pulse:  57

    I'm not sure why her BP is inching up, again. She's not retaining fluid. She's not exhibiting any symptoms of electrolyte overload (or deficit, for that matter). We're both calm, very laid back, in fact. It's true, both times I took her BP today she moved significantly, which could account for some of the jump, but certainly not all of it this morning. Oh well.
    Did you notice that her A.M. stats were truly A.M. stats? Surprised the shit out of me! She looked good, felt good, was alert and cooperative during bathing this morning. Breakfast was normal.
    She made up for lost time during her nap. Although it began late, it lasted late, too...a little over three hours. She felt good, though, afterward. She slept through lunch, so we scrapped that in favor of a tall cup of coffee and dinner at 2030 of home made cheeseburgers on onion buns with a thick slice of Bermuda onion. She received all her meds, surprisingly, including an ibuprofen a bit after dinner. The weather's gone caddy wampus on us and she's feeling it in her bones.
    She retired at 2330. Her light went off at 2350. First time in a long time I haven't had to change the date of these post in order to make sure it shows up on the day it is supposed to represent.
