Chapter 141 - Mudling About
Her sleep patterns are returning to normal, whatever that may be. She decided to cancel the Sifrol at 10pm from last Wednesday, but of course there was no immediate effect, sleep came at 4am Thursday morning.
At the GP on Thursday he advised not taking meds at 10pm, rather only 4 Sinemet CR during the day plus the 3 Sifrol. He doesn't appreciate the need for dopamine levels to aid turning at night to prevent discomfort and pain. So she has decided to reduce the CR to a half at 6am & 10pm and only take Sifrol at 6am & 2pm. He had expected her to go to the 250 uG Sifrol but she asked for another 10 days prescription of the 125 uG. Of course the chemist again had no stock of this low introductory dose so we had to return for it on Saturday.
On Friday, rather than return home for lunch between seeing the GP & the podiatrist we chose to stay at the club where she had a large meal that played havoc with her; very bloated & uncomfortable all evening so she ate nothing more. She mentioned the mark on her leg to the GP; he thinks it is larger, an appointment to see a specialist. Much to her annoyance, I dobbed her in by saying she had another mark in a place she prefers not to show people. The GP wanted to look (dirty young bloke!) but she refused. I expect the specialist will though.
Last night she seemed to sleep well, only rising once, although I know not how long she took to fall asleep. She is asleep now.
She has had a busy week; Physio on Monday, KYB on Tuesday, attended the funeral for a neighbour on Wednesday, hair cut on Thursday, appointment with the GP, a too large lunch then the podiatrist on Friday. Yesterday, Saturday she decided to iron some of our clothes for our trip today.
Now that the day to drive to Big Smoke City is here, I don't feel as confident about her well being while I spend 4 days in a workshop.
