Another day on the river. I awake before dawn to the sound of rain on the boat roof. Terrific! I snooze until just before 8am and then get up. We are looking after my nephew’s dog today, and he is bringing her to the boat on his way to work. My wife says that she thinks that my tremor is as little better this morning, and I think she’s right. The increased dyskinesia of yesterday has abated, thank goodness.
It’s a bit windy this morning, although the earlier rain has given way to bright sunshine, so we decide to return to our mooring at Wayford Bridge and just spend some time chilling on the boat. We motor slowly up the river, spotting a kingfisher and a couple of herons on the way, and moor up on the riverbank at Wayford Bridge. My wife busies herself cleaning the boat while I sit and entertain the dogs/do very little. I feel okay – not wonderful, but okay. My wife thinks I’m still a little withdrawn. 24 hours has passed since I adjusted my neurostimulator, so I increase both sides by another 0.05v. I now have 1.45v on the left and 2.1v on the right. Again, I’m unaware of any change in tremor. Again, I’ll leave it another 24 hours and see how I feel.
My nephew bought me a few bottles of beer for looking after his dog, so we plan to open one or two after we have had some dinner.
