My wife didn’t get home from work until almost midnight last night, so it was about 1am before we got into bed. My wife was up at 6.30am, wrapping presents. I dozed until my alarm went off at 7am. I have to drive to Sprowston this morning to pick up my wife’s present – not really what I want to be doing on the last shopping day before Christmas, especially not when I’m shattered before I start!
My wife is going to her customer’s house to fit the loose cover that she finished making last night, so I take the dog for a quick walk and then head off to Sprowston.
Amazingly the traffic on the roads is relatively light, so driving isn’t too stressful. I collect my wife’s gift, and then pop into Tesco to buy some chocolates, some milk and some KingGoblin (well, it is only Christmas once a year..).
The trip home is similarly uneventful, and I wrap the chocs and my wife’s present. We are going to Hevingham tonight – having dinner with my wife’s eldest son, his fiancee and our granddaughter, and then going next door to stay with my wife’s youngest son and his fiancee until Boxing Day. So, there really isn’t any need to bring logs in today, but I do so in any case – one less thing to worry about on Boxing Day!
I am experiencing a most disconcerting sensation at the moment. It feels as if I have my phone in my pocket, switched to “silent”, and it keeps going off at 10 second intervals – only my phone is on the table beside me. I would be inclined to think it was related to my DBS if I hadn’t had this happen before I had the operation (on several occasions). I’m concerned that it (perhaps) heralds more disease progression – we will just have to wait and see.
Someone posted a link on my YouTube channel to a news item about Mannitol. It is a product used by the food industry which (allegedly) reverses some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease – I go online and order a kilo of the powder. Anything is worth a try!
