I spend the morning writing a script for a vlog that I’m preparing for publication whilst my wife and I are away on holiday. I film myself (with a large number of retakes, mainly due to dissatisfaction with my voice), and then transfer the raw footage to my MacBook and get cracking with editing it. I finish work on the video well ahead of schedule (surprisingly), and upload it to my YouTube channel before taking a drive out to North Walsham to buy some eggs and milk from Lidl.
I have had some noticeable progression this week – my back has been more rigid and much more painful. I have taken cannabis for pain relief on three occasions, in addition to my bedtime dose. I’ve heard that some DBS patients manage to achieve improvements in muscular rigidity, so I’ll have to ask my DBS programmer about it when I next go for a tune-up.
