Went to the Roseville PD support group yesterday--speakers were from the Wellness Clinic with the PD exercise program that is aligned with the Kaiser PD Wise certification outreach that the hospital is starting to use. The overall impression is that the Wellness Clinic has deep capability to help someone manage a myriad of rehabilitation activities--at a very reasonable cost to the patient.

The support group leader was off his meds yesterday--his poor speech production makes what he says virtually unintelligible. He has been growing worse over time--and being off his meds only made things even more difficult.

Speaking of being off meds--I failed to take my midday dosages today. I thought I had taken them on schedule around noon--but I only thought I had done so. I discovered, when I got home, that I had not--and that explained my lethargy during the dance session. For over 2 hours in the activity--I felt like I was unable to move my feet and could not do some of the steps. I have rarely missed taking a prescribed dosage on time--now I know what it feels like if I do so. After I discovered my memory lapse--I took the pills, four hours late. I can already feel the rebound--everything has cleared up and I don't feel the stillness I was experiencing. Before I discovered my omission--I was worrying about tomorrow's RSB workout and FO dance class (followed by a dinner with some class members). Now I feel like I could do both--back-to-back before going to bed.

I'll take my evening dosage a little later than usual--and get back on schedule in the morning, when I awaken and finish the RSB session.
