    She awoke feeling "not very good" this morning...very slow, a little congested (coughing but not dry hacking, so I knew it was internal lung congestion, not external CHF congestion. Her temperature was 99.3°, so that was fine, but she didn't look great and didnt' feel good. Full bath, though; she's a trooper.
    Breakfast: I substituted an adult buffered aspirin for her normal 81 mg and gave her 200 mg guaifenex. She got her usual glass of orange juice with her pills but said she wasn't hungry and was planning on going back to bed after she drank her OJ and read the paper. Breakfast was already cooking, though, and I was hungry, so I finished it, except for the egg. By the time the bacon was done she was a little hungrier. She finally ate two pieces of bacon and a piece of Panettone, made it through her OJ and even asked for her usual (detox) tea, although she didn't finish all of it.
    She went back to bed around 1600 and stayed down until 1800. She slept hard; awoke thinking it was the day after Thanksgiving and I had just gotten my hair cut. She felt much better, too. She was hungry or lunch, which hasn't happened for awhile.
    Lunch: Heavily peppered cottage cheese and peanuts with coffee.
    She's been up all evening, doing fine.
    Dinner: Buffalo wings and cottage cheese. She also asked for ice cream afterwards and got it.
    Retired at 0045, 11/28/06. Light out at 0100.
