It's all done:
- The current medication chart with mentionable developments since September;
- The blood sugar graph with readings and percentage calculations since 12/11/04 (the meter only holds 120 readings and I do all this by electronic transfer and, anyway, I think 120 readings is all they need to see how she's doing currently);
- The blood pressure chart since 12/01/04;
- I have my list of questions, things to mention and needed prescriptions;
- I've gone over everything in my head to meticulous fault.
- All our supplies except those we'll be using tomorrow morning are gathered and stowed in the car including her wheelchair and walker and some incidentals for our friends;
- The car is gassed;
- I need to clean the windows but will do that in the morning;
- All plans have been confirmed;
Mom is primed and retired about a half hour ago, then arose 15 minutes ago "for a glass of water" (even though she always has fresh water by her bed) like an excited child. She's talked a couple of times tonight about our Chandler friends and their dogs. Just before I called them to confirm she reminded me to ask if they still have the dachsund. They do. That's her favorite breed.
Every time we go to the doctor (unless it's an emergency) I prepare all the above ahead of time.
Time for me to hit the sack. It's going to be an early, long, busy day tomorrow.
Later.
