My wife’s car is all better now, since its lifesaving wiper motor transplant, so I drive my wife over to Hevingham to pick it up this morning. I return home to Southrepps and my wife goes to work.
My right sided tremor is a little better today, but my left leg is still jumping about from time to time. Dystonia is under control. Dyskinesia – still there, but I have got so used to it that I seldom dwell upon it. My voice is weaker today, but that’s ok – I don’t speak to anyone or anything (apart from a brief conversation with the dog) all day. Rigidity and muscular weakness are no better and no worse. I’m lumbering a little better when I take the dog for her walks, so I think that’s an improvement. Balance must be improved also, because I haven’t had to catch myself at all today – or perhaps that’s because I’m spending so much time sitting on my backside at the moment… Whatever!
I intended to do some more filming for my “DBS on/DBS off” video, but instead decided to do some work on the script for my weekly vlog. I also intended to recreate the script for my “DBS on/DBS off video”, but I simply didn’t get around to it. Our Granddaughter is spending the day at our house this Friday, so I won’t really have the opportunity to film myself for my vlog. I am aiming to film myself (and bung the video onto my MacBook) on Thursday afternoon, so I can then edit the vlog sometime on Friday. I need to have the script finished by lunchtime tomorrow – plenty of time, but I am making such slow progress (with everything) at the moment.
I edit some stills from the video I shot yesterday, showing the effect that DBS has upon my handwriting and other fine motor skills, and post them to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. There wasn’t really any need to do so, so I guess I’m just avoiding writing scripts.
When I return from this afternoon’s dog walk, I fill the log basket, and light the fire – it’s quite mild out there today, but I’m feeling cold!
