Chalange day

So It's 6am on Friday August 2, 2019
I was supposed to take my meds at 6 am
So far just feeling just a little stiff
A little bit of brain fog but that is normal for just getting out off bed
Was able to put my underwear on with out sitting down
Right arm not swinging
fingers stiff but not overly so
Ache inventory :  sore muscle feeling on left butt cheek. (Upper Hamstring for the sensitive folk) 
other wise good
Typical morning before meds
6:30 breakfast done 

I guess I should do this as a time line.With what I was thinking, feeling thrown in .
As we were going a long I was sending Cheryl text's 

6:57
We leave for the hospital.
7:20
We check in at registration, no one waiting  , in and out
(maybe that's the secret , register at 7:15 for what ever,  and then come back for your appointment. ) 

7:25
Wander on down to the EMG lab
Go to take a number as usual, and the nurse behind the counter asks if we are here for  Rose
She says  just have a seat, and Rose will be out to get us
Body inventory: Right hand getting stiffer. fingers ache, butt is increasing, ,but only slightly .  I'll lose the weight honest ..... Oh the pain, yeah that is increasing as well.
Lips getting a little floppy when I speak. Good thing I'm texting

7:45
Doctor K arrives with a nice camera.
So let the games begin
They start with the standard PD movement tests
Touch you index finger to your thumb, tap your foot, put your hands face up on your knees (I am seated ) and recite the months backward. Note : the last time I did this a few  months ago my hands shook real bad.
Walk down the hall and back .
After each task Rose is looking to the Dr to get a value. Which to this point has been either a "0" or a "1"
At one point the Dr asked me if I had Parkinson's.
Had a discussion with the Dr about changing the timing of my meds. And eventually reducing them. 

8:20
Sitting in Tim 's waiting for the meds to kick in
Cheryl an I are talking about being off the meds has not been so bad. Everything about the conversation is positive.

9:15
Back at the EMG Lab
go through  all the tests again. Same scores no difference.
This is when we find out the scale goes as high as 23
As well I am given the standard Alzheimer test, a quality of life test , and a Beck depression test

Rose tells me the Dr will send the results to Halifax, along with the video.

So that was Challenge Day
Kind of anticlimactic to say the least  

The only thing it proved is that I am one of those annoying "Morning people"

By the way I am typing this at 5:45 AM
