2017-02-04 – Hospital visit.

I slept through until 6.30am, paid a visit to the smallest room and returned to the land of nod until almost 11am (well, we did have a late night!).  Tremor is fairly strong in both of my legs this morning, but I am still changing my device over to Group “B”settings at bedtime, and these settings are a lower level of stimulation than the Group “A” settings that I use during the day.  I change my device over to Group “A” settings and, although my tremor doesn’t disappear completely, at least my right leg stops jumping around quite so much.  My voice is still quite weak, but I accept that as a price worth paying for keeping my tremor under control (almost).

My wife makes the morning tea/coffee and Nutriblasts and then takes the dog for a good long walk while I deal with several emails that are sitting in my inbox and need to be replied to.  I have an email from the television company that are interviewing me for the documentary (The God Plant), confirming the date of the interview (11th February) and giving me an outline of the questions that they want to ask me (so that I can be prepared).  I email them back to confirm the date, and ask what time they will be arriving.  A couple more emails are from people who have seen my YouTube videos and have questions for me.  I answer their queries as best I can.

This afternoon we are visiting my elderly next door neighbour in the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.  We find him in good spirits – he’s enjoying having 3 square meals a day without having to cook them himself.  His leg is still horribly swollen and painful, though, and he won’t be coming home in a hurry – he has terrible rheumatoid arthritis and struggles to climb the stairs at home on a good day, let alone when his leg is in the state that it’s currently in.  My wife goes to the hospital shop and gets him a couple of packets of biscuits and a newspaper before we depart for home.

I’m almost falling asleep on the journey home (my wife was driving!), so we plan to have a bite to eat, watch a movie on Netflix and get a (relatively) early night.
