July 6th-7th
Yesterday I forgot I had Parkinson’s. I did take my meds as I usually do in the morning and then I went about my day! I cleaned and mopped my kitchen floors, weeded outside, and did some wash. I didn’t even think about taking another does of Carbidopa-Levodopa until 6 pm. I normally take my second dose at 3 pm. I didn’t even think about my walking gait or anything else. I really had NO symptoms yesterday. I got so much done yesterday!! I cleaned and organized. It was so wonderful, I remembered what it was like to not be a person with PD! I am so thankful for a day like yesterday!! I had planned to go to a socially distanced bereaved parent meeting last night. Due to the storm, the meeting was cancelled.
Today was another matter altogether. There is no doubt today that I have PD! I am off balance and my gait is off and wobbly! I got a wonderful surprise today!! My friends Jackie and Carol sent me flowers just for being “a friend!” They are two of my best friends and the flowers are so beautiful!! If there were requirements to be a friend, they would ace the test!! I was shocked and surprised! I just love yellow roses. The room smells so good. You can smell them as soon as you enter the room!
I worked on my birthday surprise for Olivia! I think she will really like it.
Yesterday and today I took cuttings from my house plants and I am trying to root them. I watched a youtube video to do it correctly. I hope they root!
Last year, we had bats in our chimney and several got into our house!! We actually saw them squeeze in from the fireplace edge. We paid someone to come and cap off our chimney this Spring. He must NOT have done the job correctly. I was sitting at my computer last evening about 6 pm and I heard crinkling. I asked Olya to get me a flashlight because I wanted to see if there was a bat in the fireplace. She brought it out to me and said, “Mom, the bat is on the floor next to you!” I looked over and screamed!!!! YIKES YIKES YIKES!!!!! I ran out of the room screaming!! PD was NOT controlling me at the time at all!!! My screaming woke up Dan who was napping. He caught it in two cups and took it outside! I put another half roll of packaging tape on the fireplace surround!!!!!
