2016-08-18 – Much cooler now

I had to go to Wayford Bridge to leave my boat keys at Bank Boats this morning.  My wife had noticed the sound of trickling water when we last stayed aboard, and it turns out that the bearing where the prop shaft exits the hull of the boat has sprung a little leak.  The nice man at Bank Boats is going to take a look at it and determine the remedial action required.  I’m bracing myself for an expensive repair, because nothing is ever cheap when you have a boat!  While I’m in the vicinity, I pop into Stalham and get my air conditioning re-gassed.  My car has been largely unused for the last couple of years, and last time I used it, it was blowing warm air at me.  The garage pumped it full of the relevant gas, and it’s much cooler now!

When I got home, I posted a few adverts on Facebook to sell some of my old (large) furniture that doesn’t fit into our little cottage, and then recorded some video to edit for my YouTube channel.  I notice that I have a fair bit of tremor in my head/neck today – possibly no more than usual, but I noticed it when watching myself on the video recordings that I had made.  Maybe it was because of the active morning I have had.  It’s certainly true that as the day goes by and I start to tire, my symptoms become more noticeable.   The tremor that I now have in my arms and legs, although not what I would call severe, is significantly more than was apparent first thing this morning.  My dystonia is also more pronounced.  Balance is okay today.  My walking seemed a little “wooden”, and my voice is weaker than normal.  Motivation and energy are both much better than has been the case lately – long may it continue!

I decide to increase my left side voltage to the maximum permissible on my Group “B” settings – 1.75v!   If this doesn’t help with the tremor in my left leg, then I think I’ll have to start exploring the Group “A” settings…  In the meantime, I self-medicate!
