The old brain seems slightly out of gear this morning. A bit out of phase, if you will. To demonstrate and for the purposes of instruction, I’m going to stop correcting my typing — NOW!
——-
I just had a whole piece writeen about forgetting to take one of my dopamine pills yesterday and how I felt all drawn out and blank until I went in for my 6pm dopamine and discoveredn I hadn’t taken my 2 pm dompane. No wonder I felt so stretched out and drawn and immobile. I had been without levodopa in my brain since 1o in the morning.
Then I wrote about watching a TV show on RLTV (Retirement Living Television” about deep brain stimulation. The subject was a feisty 70-year old with tremor-predominant PD. The DBS fixed his temor but good. But I wiah they would have talked a little bit about the differnces between Tremor Dominant PD and Postural Instabilit Gait ?Disturbance PD, because we dont react the same to DBS — which is WONDERFUL for tremors, bt does not a lot for balance or gait difficulties. Sorta made me feel like a winp, seeimg how well he was doing compared tomy conditon.
See, I WROTE all those things, then for some reason known but only to God, I hit the “back” key and everything went away. I thougt it might be saved as a draft, but no suchluck. So I’m typing it again, but this time givingyou and idea of how well my brain and fingers are working in coordination this morning.
Slept greeat. Took my levodopa about an hour ago, so it;s kicked in. So I don’t know what the problem is thims morning.
Coffee will fix it. Coffee fixds ecerything!
