I receive more paperwork to fill out for my mother’s estate in the post this morning – I have a read through it to see what I need to do, have a telephone conversation with my younger brother (in which I promise to deal with it by the end of tomorrow) and file it away until tomorrow.
At least the weather is clear and dry today, and the temperature is positively spring-like (10 degrees Celsius) – a very pleasant change from the last week or so. I take the dog for a quick walk after I’ve finished my tea and nutriblast, and before PopMaster, and then catch up on the latest news by reading The Metro online. I split a few logs and bring them in for a fire later on, although it’s really not cold enough to justify it – I just like having the fire lit!
I’m starting to get quite concerned about muscular weakness in my legs – I squatted down to clean up after the dog this morning, and had a hell of a struggle to stand up again, and this afternoon I’m struggling to stand up from a sitting position on the sofa. This was precisely the reason that I asked the Parkinson’s nurse to refer me for some physiotherapy, which I still haven’t heard about – I’ll have to start giving her a hard time about it if I haven’t heard anything by the time of my next appointment (in a couple of weeks time). I have also been suffering with Restless Legs Syndrome for the last couple of weeks when I go to bed. Only in my left leg, but it is very annoying and, I feel, further evidence of disease progression that is going on behind the scenes.
I haven’t had any cannabis during the day today, and muscular pain in my right arm is definitely more of an issue – I decide to self-medicate this evening when I’m also having a beer.
