BM Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1315
    Reading:  124
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1320
    BP:  119/61
    Pulse:  67
A.M. 60" Dig Temp:
    Time:  1335
    Reading:  98.5
 

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2040
    Reading:  140
 

    Bowel Movement:  Occurred during bathing before Mom's breakfast. Very good volume; hard consistency; reportedly easy elimination but I wiped a bit of fresh blood from her anus; very easy clean-up.
Medication Changes:
  • 325 mg acetaminophen at breakfast because of slightly high temp and a bit more morning stiffness than usual.
  • 2 Tbl Phillip's Milk of Magnesia; although she had a bowel movement and reported it easy, the anal blood upon wiping and the hardness of her stool told me that she needs a little softening; and probably a little more cleaning out.
  • Discovered Saturday "morning" that I had forgotten to give Mom her 15 mg lisinopril. Since we took a Stat Vacation Saturday, I have no idea how this affected her but, as she would say, she "lived".
    Dinner:  Taco Bell, her choice. She had a Burrito Supreme and a Crunchy Taco Supreme. No dessert, oddly, although I'm sure the carbs involved in Taco Bell food KO'd that possibility.
