I self-medicated (cannabis and alcohol) last night, just before hitting the sack. I went off to sleep quickly and slept through until 6.30am. I actually got up at just after 8am, because I dozed on and off. I feel much better and more rested than yesterday, although I’m quite stiff and aching – I assume from all the walking I did on Tuesday.
Downstairs. Tea. Nutriblast. Assess. Tremor has crept back significantly into my left leg, less significantly into my right arm. No evidence of dyskinesia. Dystonia bearable. Balance is a little dodgy this morning, and my voice still seems a little indistinct. Energy absent. Motivation appears to be slightly improved, although I have yet to do any of the items on my list today:
- Clean the bathroom – my wife made a start on this before she left for work this morning, so just need to clean the bath, wash the floor and empty the rubbish bin. I have actually brought the rubbish bin downstairs to empty it, I just haven’t emptied it yet!
- Vacuum downstairs
- Vacuum upstairs
- More weeding at the allotment
I make a start on the bathroom just as my wife returns from work early. I like to have actually done something by the time she returns, so that’s not good. I finish the bathroom and vacuum our bedroom, the landing and stairs. 2 items crossed off the list – it could be worse!
I’m feeling completely exhausted. I was on the verge of falling asleep again this afternoon. I felt a little more motivated this morning, but have no motivation at all this afternoon. The tremor in my left leg is starting to get to me as well. Balance and walking aren’t great, and my voice is definitely getting softer and huskier. Settings will be changed tomorrow morning!
We go to North Walsham to collect a new duvet cover from Roy’s, and to do some food shopping at Lidl. Then it’s home, dinner and an early night…
