Although the day held early promise...
...Mom, as it turns out, was almost immovable. I did manage to get her out once after breakfast when we picked up one of her prescriptions. I insisted she go along just to get her dressed and turned out. It was a very short trip, involved almost no walking and Mom went to bed shortly thereafter without deigning acknowledge my argument against napping so soon after arising.
    I decided our trip to Costco and to check out a motel for MCS & BIL could wait until tomorrow. Yesterday some out of town friends visited and, among other much appreciated items and food, left several very soft peaches that needed to be used. I made them into cobbler this afternoon. Since Mom's blood glucose was so good when she awoke ready for lunch and all we were having was cobbler (much to her delight), I thought 425 mg metformin would do the trick. She ended up this evening, before a deli sandwich dinner from yesterday's leftovers, on the high side so I gave her 850 mg metformin. I think the order of those two doses should have been reversed. I'll remember this the next time I treat her to a dessert meal. The metformin works best with the 'forbidden' food.
    I did manage to keep her up from our late lunch time on but she did not want to play any board games, didn't read, didn't pay attention to TV and clearly resented being kept up except when she was eating. Some days just aren't worth getting up for, from my mother's perspective, I guess, and today was one of those days.
    Tomorrow, I've told her, will be a no excuses day unless something happens that requires her hospitalization.
    She laughed.
