Three Quarter Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1501
    Reading:  173
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1516
    BP:  128/67
    Pulse:  59

    She arose at 1430, today, better than previous days. I started on her at 1400 and she asked for "another half hour". I managed to get in all stats that I usually take, today.
    Breakfast: Normal. I was a little surprised at her BG this morning, so I gave her two 10 mg glipizide tablets. I also substituted an adult buffered aspirin for her usual 81 mg, because she was complaining about her "iffy" back and knee.
    Lunch: Coffee and peanuts, after a long nap, two and a half hours. When she arose she looked (and seemed to feel) better than she has in some days.
    Dinner: A type of Sloppy Joe concoction made from the pulled apart remains of the bone-in beef ribs from a few nights ago (roasted in my Hoisin based barbeque sauce), mixed with more sauce and sauteed onions, celery, green chili and cherub tomatoes, served on onion buns. Delicious!
    Retired initially at 2345. Light out initially at 0015, 1/10/07. She rearose at 0045, went to the bathroom, stayed up and read and did crosswords until 0200, then went back to bed.
