    Bowel Movement:  Occurred as she was getting ready to take a nap. Fair volume; somewhat soft consistency; very easy elimination; somewhat smeary clean-up.
Medication Changes:
  • Gave her 325 mg acetaminophen twice today, once at breakfast and once at dinner. She was unusually stiff and, as well, in the morning, was running (for her) a low grade fever. She also mentioned she wasn't feeling "quite 100 per".
  • Missed one of her three breathing treatments; wasn't up long enough during either "up time" to get the third one in.
  • Gave her an extra glipizide when she had dessert, as dinner + dessert involved quite a few carbs and her blood glucose was already pretty high just before dinner.
    Dinner:  Toasted ham and medium sharp cheddar cheese sandwich on sourdough bread; about 1 cup of pickled (without sugar) asparagus spears; 1 slice Marie Callendars Chocolate Cream Pie.
