I definitely overdid it yesterday. I had a moderately good night, although I was woken up many times by my wife (who did not have a good night) and got up around 8am. My lower back is aching like a good ‘un from all of the stooping and weeding at the allotment. My dyskinesia (right arm and leg) is really quite severe this morning, as is my tremor (both sides). Dystonia in my right foot is about the same as yesterday. So is my balance. Motivation and energy at a bare minimum.
I take the dog for a walk (because she nags me to) and then return home to sit and contemplate my belly button. The only thing I have on my list today is to vote in the EU Referendum – don’t ask, I’m not telling.
Lunchtime, and I’m still no further forward. I’ll wait until my wife gets home and then we can go and vote together. I self-medicate (cannabis), put the dishwasher on and then sit and search online (eBay and Gumtree) for a replacement fridge for our boat – the existing one has given up the ghost. It still makes all of the right noises and flattens the battery, but it no longer gets cold.
My wife arrives home from work early, and we go to North Walsham to do some food shopping. I am having trouble getting to my feet at the moment – a combination of a lack of energy and a bad back – and then when I do get myself vertical I’m struggling to keep my balance. Nonetheless, I manage to go shopping and upon our return home decide to take the dog for her afternoon walk, while I’m still standing!
We go to vote while dinner is in the oven. I don’t think I’ve seen this many people at a polling station in years!
Dinner. Telly. Beer (me). Coffee (Decaf – for my wife). Bed. Let’s hope we both have a better night’s sleep!
