All names originating from Hebrew that end with the letters el have something to do with God.

The grand jury in America used to write “ignoramus” meaning “we don’t know” in Latin on the back of verdicts that were undecided, or not to be sent to court. This was often an indication of the stupidity of the jury, hence its present meaning.

In English four is the only number that has the same number of letters as its value.

Had a rough night had to wake Tim to help me.

Also yesterday was Melbourne Cup day and for the first time in decades not since I was in my early 20’s, I listened to the race. From the age of 13 I would go into work with my Nana, she was a cleaner of an office building. I would help with dusting and such, they were great times me and nana time. I did this till I was having Kathy.

FYI: I don’t

Treatment of Dystonic Tremor

Oral Medications: Oral medications can be effective in relieving dystonic tremors in some patients. They work by interrupting the neurotransmitters, which are responsible for sending messages within the brain. Some medicines act by relaxing the muscles and thus reducing the dystonic tremors. These medicines need to be taken continuously and they also have side effects.

Botulinum Toxin Injections: This treatment can be given if the dystonic tremor is localized to one or two areas of the body. Botulinum toxin injections work by weakening the overactive muscles and they need to be taken every three months or so. If the patient is not having any improvement from the Botulinum Toxin Injections, then it may mean that the dose needs to be adjusted or the injections have not been accurately targeted. Ultrasound or electromyography (EMG) machine can be used to identify the affected muscles which need to be injected. Dystonic head tremors especially benefit from botulinum toxin injections and arm tremors do not benefit as much by them.

Surgery for Dystonic Tremor: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure which can be done if the patient has severe dystonic tremor and if they do not respond to other treatment methods. In Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), electrodes are planted into the brain so they can help in rebalancing the movements of the patient and controlling the posture. A battery implanted in the chest provides power to the electrodes.

Occupational Therapy for Dystonic Tremor: If the patient has been having difficulty with daily activities of living, such as driving, cooking or eating, then special equipment can be used upon advice from the occupational therapist, which will assist the patient in managing his/her daily tasks.

Well here we are at Tuesday and this week’s extreme creature is the Double Drummer, any idea what it is?

Well it is a Cicada, now we all know that cicada’s are loud but the double drummer is one of the noisiest. Once it gets going, it can produce a song that’s louder than a jackhammer!

They make their sound in their abdomen by vibrating a membrane extremely quickly, only the male sing.

The double drummer, is the largest Australian species of cicada and reputedly the loudest insect in the world. Documented by the Danish zoologist Johan Christian Fabricius in 1803, it was the first described and named cicada native to Australia.

Dad would be 80 today, I miss him so much. Had a good night up at 6.30amd, Tim also got up dressed for work, leaving at 7am.

Went to use the printer but it isn’t working right the paper won’t feed through and I can see no jam.

Tasha was suppose to do some food for us but instead got stuck into her yard.

Jess helping me into bed tonight.

A new day for this older body woke at 6.20am rang Tasha but she was already at the gym.

She turned up at 8am I asked her to look at the printer but she didn’t have time. I was expecting her to do the shopping but she didn’t.

Had a restless night woke in a bit of a mood and shaking so much in my legs standing isn’t easy and I had no help which didn’t do anything for my mood. Snapped at Tasha when she came down not her fault I forgot I could ring her.

My mood has improved.

I have done bugga all today

Had a good night after a not so good shower warm water and no pressure. Although Tasha managed to get both but Tim said this morning that there was no hot water and he had reported it.

At 11.30iah people from housing arrived to talk about the new ramp to be installed and to check the bathroom was up to scratch. It isn’t so they rang the bathroom mob and they turned to discuss matters.

I now will have bathroom people here tomorrow to do whatever they have to do.

Been a warm day.

Another good night till 5.30 this morning when after peeing I get back into bed only to have a panic attack. I had to wake Tim to help me out of bed and off with my mask, which I felt was making it hard to breathe, (it wasn’t).

No school for Leo he has an appointment.

Also Leo now wants to be called Samuel or Sam.

The bathroom guy arrived around 8ish. He was here till 1.30pm and had a far bit to do.

Another good night and better morning I have reduced pain in my knees.

The kitchen is still leaking and we still have no hot water.

Plumber arrived the hot water heater is good so he arranged for a sparky to come he said it was tripped and if we don’t have hot water to call him tomorrow and he will pass it on to Ausgrid.

Tasha has done some sort of damage to her leg while at the gym as she is in so much pain.

Hey Hey it’s Saturday and we have hot water, I have been up since 5.55am I feel good and happy but of course there is pain and shaking as usual.

I forgot yesterday to mention that Kathy and family have gone away for the weekend. They are at Dubbo.
