We have a little bit of a lie-in this morning, following our late night of babysitting. It’s another fine and sunny day, and we decide to spend some time down at the allotment, performing allotment tasks.
So, after drinking tea/coffee, Nutriblasts and walking the dog, we wander down the road to the allotment, trays of seedlings in our hands, and set to work. I manage to plant out some sweetcorn and aubergine plants, prepare an overgrown bed for planting out some butternut squash seedlings (and plant them out), and weed between the carrots and beetroot before having to call it a day due to exhaustion – about 2 hours work, so a bit better than usual! I return home to clean myself up and have a sit-down for a while, my wife labours on!
My tremor is still breaking through in my left leg from time to time, in spite of my voltage adjustment yesterday. My voice is still a little on the weak side, but it doesn’t seem to be any worse than it was yesterday, so I’m relieved that my voltage adjustment doesn’t seem (so far) to have had a detrimental effect. Dystonia in my right foot is quite uncomfortable, but it seems to be stable and bearable, so I won’t be adjusting my neurostimulator to moderate it because dyskinesia in my right arm is also uncomfortable but stable and bearable – increasing the voltage to improve the dystonia goes hand in hand with increased dyskinesia.
My wife arrives home from the allotment, cooks us a little something for dinner, and then we settle down in front of the telly for the evening. I’m planning on some self-medication (cannabis), a couple of beers and an early night.
