Mom’s Status: 2009-12-04
12:30 PM: Dispensed morning and lunch-time meds.
12:40 PM: Blood sugar: 241. Covered with 14 units of log insulin.
12:45 PM: Left message with sister Jojo, to see if, on her way home from work, she would stop at the pharmacy and pick up Mom’s Humulin (NPH) insulin.
12:50 PM: Next significant item we must complete, is for Mom to evaluate her medical insurance options, and then decide if she wishes to continue with the plan she has currently, or switch to another. We must be very cautions and make sure we understand all the information because we don’t want to inadvertently switch to a plan than does not cover something that she really needs covered. We just received a big book in the mail from Blue Cross,that explains the plans they’re offering in 2010. Then, we also just got the Medicare, 2010 book to mull over as well. It’s a shame they make this open-enrollment procedure such a complicated, not to mention risky process in my opinion. Hopefully, we’ll get started on this today, once Mom wakes up from her nap.
04:15 PM: Sister Jojo just brought the Humulin (NPH) insulin from the pharmacy. $44 for one vile, which lasts Mom roughly three weeks.
05:30 PM: Blood sugar: 221. Covered this and her supper with 14 units of log insulin.
05:35 PM: Dispensed Mom’s supper-time meds.
11:15 PM: Dispensed Mom’s night-time meds.
11:20 She took no blood sugar reading in the late evening here. However, she did give herself 14 units of the log insulin.
