    I gave her 10 mg furosemide maybe an hour before she turned her light out. There was some fluid retention evident, as well as a couple of dry hacking coughs and she was mouth breathing so much this evening that I put her on oxygen. It may keep her busy in the bathroom, tonight, but it'll also make her day, tomorrow, easier on her physically.
    She retired at 2345. Her light went out at 0030, 11/24/06.
