The sunshine is back in Southrepps today – it’s amazing how the weather can affect your mood. I’m feeling much more positive this morning.
It is my daughter’s 22nd birthday today, so I send her birthday greetings by text and social media (I already sent her a birthday card).
My wife is having another day of delivering leaflets to promote her soft furnishings business, and I have a number of computer-based tasks that I need to do. I need to assist our friend Karl Sterling with booking some accommodation local to Southrepps for when he comes to visit us next month, and I also need to start work on my contribution to Karl’s book about exercise and Parkinson’s Disease. My contribution will be mainly about Parkinson’s Disease! I also want to make start on the script for my weekly vlog – this week I’m going to talk about a few innovative products that make life easier for people with Parkinson’s, and which have caught my eye over the post few months. I have applied for (and been granted) permission to use some images of the products in my video, but it would be good to get some video of them in action, so I email the companies concerned to ask them if they have some promotional video that I could use.
I take a 1 gram dose of high potency CBD oil that I have been sent – I tried taking a 3 gram dose a few weeks ago, and it made me incapable of action. The 1 gram dose doesn’t seem to do much at all, so I’ll probably try increasing it to 1.5 grams tomorrow.
I try switching my neurostimulator to group “B”settings for a little while (to improve the strength of my voice, which is weak and disappearing). My voice does improve, but dyskinesia and tremor also increase, so I revert to group “A”settings after half an hour or so.
