NOVEMBER QUICK DIARY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday 3 \u2013 RLS was always everywhere, any time. What has occurred recently is only in my left leg (mostly thigh) between midnight and 07:00 and only in the recliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday \u2013 the shrink wrap that usually binds me, is off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuesday \u2013 better movement than usual, not quite as loose as yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wednesday \u2013 the US election made of me a trembling cripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday \u2013 I’ve stopped trembling while still moving very slowly, but am resolved anew to confront the foe and vanquish sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday \u2013 For the first time in at least four years I was able to regularly and consistently pick up my feet while walking, indoors and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday \u2013 Feet continued into morning (having slept hardly at all) then I took a half hour nap and woke tight and trembly. Got feet back pacing the hall for a half hour, but remained with awkward fingers and tremors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday \u2013 Flashes of liberty tucked between rafts of immobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday 11 \u2013 I am not a victim, I am a participant. And a creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuesday \u2013 Turns out I’m averaging 2500 steps a day on my walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wednesday \u2013 RLS seems to have returned, but only evenings in the recliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday \u2013 Friend is more and more a part of my hourly experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday \u2013 Orvieto’s glorious Friday evening parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday \u2013 Morning walk very difficult, evening walk almost normal. And so it goes. Had a spontaneous and strong turning off of pause just before lunch (I think).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday \u2013 Sleepy all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday 18 \u2013 Stumbly legs, fingers more agile than normal, a little dull-witted but clear on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuesday \u2013 Arms tight and uncomfortable, walking quite good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wednesday \u2013 Walking very good, arms relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday \u2013 Walking almost impossible, sleeping a lot, day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday \u2013 Morning walk very ragged, evening good and almost smooth at times. Evening voice strong and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday \u2013 Repeat Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday \u2013 Great disappointment; RLS has returned with a vengeance. Wish I knew why it was gone for so long. (turns out the bad stuff only lasted for a day)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday 25 \u2013 Gone for several weeks now; excessive nasal discharge after eating or sneezing (for years). Don’t know if that was typical of PD, but in any case, I hope it stays gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuesday \u2013 Sleeping a lot. Was complimented on an improved stride today, several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wednesday \u2013 The stride tightened, but only Roman was around to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday \u2013 Made rare for several weeks; my body tightening into a plank (board of wood) involuntarily after a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday \u2013 Momentum. Don’t interrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday \u2013 \u201cI’m doing this to myself!\u201d makes me stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday 1 December \u2013 Callouses hurt so bad I can barely walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
