THURSDAY 7 DECEMBER
T ypding stills usckss. But forging on…
I use walking as a sort of benchmark for state of symptoms. These are tallies of walking events between November 5 and December 6:
- Exceptionally good 21
- Moderately good 24
- Moderately bad 12
- Exceptionally bad 6
The evening walk on the sagrato, December 3, was spectacular; fluid, relaxed, largely automatic, and for more than a kilometer. The next few days the walks were good, but I was unable to match the walk on Sunday evening. However, a persistent PD symptom is limited ability to turn the head from side to side. That same evening, head turns gained 20 degrees each side, and that new flexibility has sustained since then without exception.
Pause was off Monday morning when I awoke, and I made a conscious decision not to crawl back into that spider hole. Pause has stayed off.
I am working on replacing a mental habit of regret with one of gratitude.
Friend says as I’ve stayed off pause for several days, now muscles and nerves have to catch up.
I’m taking my metaphorical arms down and running in towards life.
MERRY EVERYTHING!
