I spent this morning catching up on my emails – I needed to write to my contact at the Cleveland Cannabis College about the video that I recorded for him, also to Karl Sterling who sent me an email about his Parkinson’s Regeneration Training program a couple of days ago, and last (but not least) the film company that approached me for an interview for their documentary (The God Plant).
My wife is intent on doing some work at the allotment today, so she disappears and leaves me to it. I decide to do some of the household chores that my wife usually does at the weekend, as well as a couple of tasks that I usually take responsibility for. So, I get a load of kindling from the garden shed and stack it by the fire, then I swing the log splitting axe for 10 or 15 minutes, and fill the log basket for the fire this evening. I vacuum the kitchen, dining room, lounge and staircase and clean the hearth. I clean the glass windows on the woodburner, and then wash the lounge windows (which are getting extremely grubby). I’m glad to be making myself useful, but when my wife returns, she is a bit miffed that I’ve been doing “her” jobs.
I take the dog for her afternoon walk, and light the fire when we get back – it’s decidedly chilly out there today!
Symptom check: tremor still breaking through (both sides); dyskinesia a little better today; dystonia much the same as yesterday; voice much the same as yesterday; balance and walking are fair to middling; mood, motivation and energy are all good; rigidity and muscular weakness and stiffness are all unchanged and bothering me less today.
