April 11 - 10 weeks of green drink

We have been drinking the green drink every morning for 10 weeks

Mum's memory seems to be stable - she seems to be more oriented to time and place
She has remembered what day of the week it is for 5 our of the last 6 days.
she remembered that her brother Jeanneau was married to Jeanine - a first in a long time
She is watching movies now as well as Matlock and Murder She Wrote
the dog has been very good for her and her blood pressure was 10/60 at the drs office for the second visit in a row - her standard every three month visit
She fell a few weeks back - bad bruise on right arm and back was hurting.  No bones broken or permanent damage.  She could not sleep and lost track of how much wine she had drunk - so when she fell by the couch she was relaxed.
I now keep the bottle of wine upstairs and just leave two glasses in the carafe each day - so she cannot make the same mistake
with the spring sunshine and more time spent outside, she is more alert as well
She started doing dishes again in the last few days which is really a good sign
her blood sugars on her A1C were good for the first time in many a month - only change in diet is the green drink

Mum is reasoning well and walks back and forth through the house contstantly - yesterday we did the dogwood trail at Sequoia hills with the dog and it was fun.  we were supposed to go to lunch with Michele to day at IHOP but she feels under the weather and refuses to go - so we will make it Tuesday
