My wife is busy making preparations for Christmas (final, final grocery shopping and some present wrapping) while I loaf around (as usual) and post links to my latest vlog on Instagram and Twitter. While she is out of the house (taking presents over to her youngest son’s house, where we are spending Christmas day) I split a load of kindling (to keep us going over the festive period) and a basketful of logs (to keep us going tonight), clean the windows in the woodburner, light the fire and vacuum downstairs.
I’m very aware of emerging tremor (both sides of my body) – I hope it’s just down to stress, and not due to disease progression. There has been no response from the local health trust or Clinical Commissioning Group to Norman Lamb’s letters about prescribing exenatide for me, and the 14 day window (in which he requested a response) expired this week – I’ll chase this up first thing in the new year!
