What went well today:

• Busy day! Felt good to stay busy!
• Went to PD gait and balance class. We did relaxing exercises (yoga) and some movement.
• Had a tasty midday meal (General's Chicken). Had some but diminished redness/flushing.
• Had blood taken for a liver panel and to test for calcitonin (a thyroid hormone). The second test item was added after I talked with an endocrinologist. She, after hearing my long story, said that it looks like I may be reacting to my PD medication (Stalevo). It makes sense! The flushing and redness began around the time I increased my dosage from two to three pills per day. I'll look back through my notes but I think she hit on the head.
• Went to the H's for movie night tonight. We watched a not-so-good-film Welcome to the Dollhouse. We also watched a DVD of G's Kaddish performance. The performance was totally absorbing and grabbing. It's a great piece of work!

Getting late! Movement class in the morrow! Adieu!
