I slept much more comfortably last night, so why do I feel so completely knackered? I sit on the sofa to drink my morning cup of tea, and I could so easily just shut my eyes and go to sleep. It’s my legs that are giving me the most grief at the moment, though. My calf muscles were tight and aching yesterday, but today I am stiff and aching from hip to toe – moving around is most uncomfortable, but climbing the steep staircase in our little cottage is a real struggle. I change the settings on my neurostimulator to group “B” for little while to see if it will help my voice, which is rapidly becoming weaker again. It does, but I find the tendency for my eyes to clamp themselves shut most disconcerting, so I switch back to group “A” settings again.
The Channel 4 film crew contact me via Twitter, asking me for a copy of my video “Revised Parkinson’s Tremor Control With Medicinal Cannabis” with the subtitles and links to my YouTube channel removed, so I crop out the subtitles and links and email them the video – they want to use it in the health programme for which they interviewed me a couple of weeks ago.
It’s my wife’s youngest son’s birthday today, so we are going to Hevingham this evening to join the rest of his close family for a takeaway curry (and a beer). The curry is excellent (if a little too spicy for some of the previously uninitiated), and the entertainment (our eldest granddaughter) is beyond compare.
