The Night Shift On Requip

Well its that time of the night again , went to bed at 11.30 pm and guese what back up wide wake at 12.30, , had a cup of tea , then decided that as my wife the lovely Laraine needed petrol for her car befor she went to work, i would do it for her so 1.30 am off i go got the car keys and started of , rain and wind lashing down here just now , the petrol station is only about 5 mins from our house , got the petrol and on the way back it sudenly dawnd on me that my night driving is not that good ( sight poor in the dark) made a wrong turn and landed in all i can say was a very large puddle in mid road, car splutterd to a halt , in mid puddle , shit what will ido now ? then out of the dark they appeard, in ther florecent car lights on full , ( morning sir ? haveing a bit a trouble are we, they said, oh have we had a few drinks sir ? ( No Not i ) i was in mid shake by then head legs the full monty,

You dont look too steady on your feet sir, can you explain why you are in this state? I have Parkinsons i said , both rolled ther eyes and off to the back of the police car i go, Blow in to the bag , , Not a single drop o booze was registerd , as i try to explain agin i fumbled and got out my little card which explains that i have PD and not a drunk, after a few more tense moments they help me retrive Laraines car and bid me good night, the moral of this story is i will not go to get petrol agine in middle of night, .

its now 2.33 am in Gartcosh and im goint to have anouther cup of tea

Good morning all

My Gammy's kin are Broadfoots and Stuarts from Wigstown. Colorado is so dry.I think you are lucky to have a good Scots rain. Be well, your wife is a lucky woman.

I am glad to know that I arm not the only person with PD who is up at all hours. I must admit that I do find this a great time to work on a hobby.

3 a.m.here -this is something I don't understand about PD, why are we awake?

Is it PD or the meds?

I also might get to sleep for a couple of hours but then wake up and cannot get back to sleep. I'm not going to take medicine to get sleep.
