What a difference 24 hours can make. This morning I awake with only mild tremor in my left leg. I’m on Group “B” settings, same as yesterday morning, but the difference in my tremor is quite remarkable. I just wish I could figure out whether it’s because my Parkinson’s is having some time off, or my settings have reached a part of my brain that they couldn’t reach yesterday.
I want to finish subtitling my Interview video in Polish this morning, so need a reasonably steady hand to control my computer trackpad. In fact, I’m so steady this morning that I use my wife’s mouse – something I haven’t been able to use successfully for a very long time! After a little while I’m aware that I have some tremor in my legs (both of them), but it’s not troubling me enough that I am going to change my settings just yet.
Polish subtitles completed, I drop the Polish webmaster a quick email to ask him to check them, and then I see that I have a new email from the guy at Cleveland Cannabis College with the first few interview questions for me to script, in preparation for shooting their video. I’ll have a think about them a little bit later – I need to finish my wife’s company’s books first, so that they can be emailed to our accountant on Monday.
While my wife gives the house a top to bottom clean, and reorganises the lounge, I sit amid the organised chaos and attempt to update the sales ledger spreadsheet. Eventually, I enter the final figures, save the files and can relax a little bit. Tremor is still remarkably under control, although dyskinesia has been a little on the strong side. In fact, I had to check that my device was actually using Group “B”settings (and it was!), because dyskinesia is generally worse (and tremor generally better) when I’m using Group “A”
My wife has worked a small miracle in the lounge, which now looks much more cosy and homely than it did before she gave it her attention. We have dinner, open a bottle of wine (red) and settle down for the evening.
