DECEMBER QUICK DIARY
Monday 2 – Pretty good movement, all things considered.
Tuesday – Read a couple of my old scripts. Not bad. Gonna begin submitting again.
Wednesday – Slept a lot and well. Walking a mixed bag. The good right next to the bad in all movement.
Thursday – Slept hardly at all, therefore morning walk impossible. Nasal discharge, RLS, and saliva all revisited with a vengeance.
Friday – Shifting slowly from a frequently annoyed (however passive aggressive) personality, to a gentler more patient one.
Saturday – Movement is both more fluid and awkward. Up and down after 05:00 and finally slept in recliner for two hours after eight.
Sunday – Notwithstanding occasional phlegm, my voice has been clear all week.
Monday 9 – Walked seven laps in the garage picking up both feet and my head, most of the time. I’m so thrilled even my Italian improved.
Tuesday – A nearly as good repeat of yesterday, only on Via Costutuente which is paved with cobbles and on an incline.
Wednesday – Almost as good an evening walk as yesterday, except harder to keep my head up. Slept very little Tuesday night.
Thursday – Same as Wednesday for walking.
Friday – Slept eight hours in recliner almost without interruption. Severe poverty of movement the rest of the day. But oddly the evening garage walk was on a par with Monday. Voice continues strong.
Saturday – Walking was average for the week. Had a broad insight into how I have caused all this, but it’s too much to write down or explain. Some surprising moments of normal movement, brief but real.
Sunday – Morning walk was nigh impossible. Slept all afternoon. Evening walk better but with lots of shuffling. Extreme poverty of movement. Voice strong.
Monday 16 – Poverty of movement coupled with a strong walk on the sagrato; what gives?
Tuesday – Slept hardly at all, I was a wreck all morning. Evening sagrato was unremarkable either way. Fought discouragement all day; the fight has value.
Wednesday – Seek and you shall find. Ask and you shall receive.
Thursday – Am sleeping a lot, long recovery from nap, extreme poverty of movement. Walk not too bad.
Friday – Ditto Thursday
Saturday – Ditto Friday but with a weak voice and mild restless leg syndrome (RLS) from midnight to 7 am.
Sunday – Lots of sleep, otherwise as yesterday. Insights on automatic movement. Strong RLS.
Monday 23 – Lots of sleep. Very difficult to walk but other movement relatively fluid; feels like I’m turning a corner.
Tuesday – Lots of sleep. Very strong RLS lying in recliner
Wednesday – Lots of sleep. Was able to consciously relax RLS. Walking difficult.
Thursday – Ditto, except walking indoors was strangely easier. Strong voice.
Friday – Very little sleep last night, because there were no comfortable positions. No RLS!
Saturday – Marked reduction in anxiety; thank you Friend!
Sunday – Difficult walking, sleeping.
Monday – Walking improved through the day. RLS in the afternoon. All work on the computer is maddeningly difficult. Feeling frustrated.
Tuesday – Morning walk in garage barely possible, evening walk in garage a record eight laps in very good form. Around the house alone, extreme poverty of movement.
