Today turned out to be the protracted sleep day I thought we were going to have a couple of days ago. I'm not sure what the problem was, but there were some definitely symptoms. When she awoke she was stuffed to the gills, coughing up obvious internal lung congestion, and just didn't feel good "all over", although her structural stuff, knees, back, joints, were fine. She was just very tired. I gave her an adult aspirin at breakfast and 200 mg (half a generic tablet) of guaifenex. Within a couple of hours the congestion had cleared up, she felt better, but was back in bed by 1700 and slept through until 2000. It shows in her evening blood sugar, that's the only thing I can think of that would have kept it this high.
For breakfast, again, a croissant was substituted for toast. This has never raised her BG this high, before, so I'm sure it was all the sleep.
No lunch. For dinner she was "famished", so I made a cholesterol taste treat for her: Home made sausage, egg and cheese croissants. I put curry in the sausage. I'm hoping that ameliorates her BG tomorrow, especially since Thursday is going to be a big day: Lots of fruit, cranberry scones; we're having company.
She retired at 0035 6/21/06. Her light went out at 0100 straight up.
