BM Full Stat Day + BM Notes:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1445
    Reading:  134
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1450
    BP:  126/66
    Pulse:  71
A.M. 60" Dig Temp:
    Time:  1458
    Reading:  98.0
 

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2140
    Reading:  132
 

Medication Changes:
  • 325 mg acetaminophen at breakfast; complaining of thigh pain just above the knee.
  • 650 mg acetaminophen with dinner for same complaint as earlier; while the dose above didn't seem to touch it, this dose did. She said, before going to bed, that she had no pain; she also looked better and moved much better.
    Dinner:  Home made Mac n Cheese with all additions; pickled (without sugar) beets, about 3/4 cup; 1 slice Marie Callendar lemon meringue pie.
    Bowel Movement:  Occurred while getting ready for bed. Good volume; hard, balled up consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    Bowel Movement Notes:  Although she hasn't had an official bowel movement since Saturday, both yesterday morning and this morning she awoke with a bit of fecal matter on her underwear and, during her bathing she expelled a small, soft turd without realizing it. I don't actually consider these "bowel movements" as such, but since this has happened twice I wanted to note it. Both times the expulsions were soft, left quite a bit of detritus throughout her eliminatory area, rendering that area messy and time consuming to clean.
