Drove to the doctor's appointment this morning. Left early so I could make it even if traffic delayed. Made it to the offices about 40 minutes. Everything went smoothly and I was there with time to spare.

Met my new doctor and did an intake review with him regarding my condition. I wasn't operating at full power but I think it was worth the effort it took to secure him as my PD symptoms become more pronounced. We discussed my medication schedule and decided that I would adjust the timing--Now will take a Stalevo 150 at 7:30am, 2pm and 8pm. Will take one Azilect in the morning. He also suggested that I take some melatonin to help me sleep more soundly--we discussed my dreamings and what I might do to push them down some. The suggestion might have been enough--I'm drifting into sleep just writing about it.

Good news! The front desk staff said that they were going to be able to bill the insurance company directly. Hope so! It will circumvent having me deal with everything. Let it be so!

Extended support group meeting tomorrow. Looking forward to attending. Feeling like I'm at a juncture and can move on from here. I felt good about my trek to see the neurologist. I think it was the furthest I've driven over the last 8 years. About time! Will experiment with making side trips.

More rain on the horizon!
