A promising day (weather-wise) ends up being miserable, grey and extremely wet. The sun is trying to break through when I take the dog for a walk this morning, and the day feels bright and Spring-like. By lunchtime it’s raining heavily, and it continues all afternoon and into the evening – the dog and I are both saturated when we return home after a (brief) walk this afternoon.
I promised to email our local Parkinson’s UK adviser (following our telephone conversation yesterday afternoon) with details of the equipment and services for people with Parkinson’s that had talked about, so I spend most of the day detailing and costing and composing the email, making sure that there’s all of the relevant information so that she won’t be coming back to me to ask questions. Eventually I’m ready to send it, and I copy in the Parkinson’s nurse – I did quote her in the email, so it seemed only right to do so. It would be great if they agreed to fund anything that we had discussed, but I’m not holding my breath!
I try to progress with editing my wife’s youngest son’s wedding video, and I do make some progress, but not as much as I would have liked.
Voice is still pretty bad, but everything else is tolerable. My wife got me to switch off my DBS to see if it really was the cause of my weak voice, and the difference was immediately apparent to both of us, so at least it should be something that can (perhaps) be improved upon when I go back to the hospital for an adjustment at the end of next month.
