My sister called last night and did her usual rundown of health related things that are going terribly wrong. There are a number of those that I've been dealing with for years. It turns out that she and our mother have the same physical problems I do in terms of actual damaged joints and tendency toward injury, but they're worse off because they don't feel those injuries as painful and so go on without getting treatment. My problem is that everything is overwhelmingly painful, even the stuff that isn't out and out damage. Which makes getting treatment difficult from the other direction, but at least I know when things are wrong.

My sister says that our father is having tremor issues and is worried that he has Parkinson's but refuses to go to the doctor. I'm going to call him after my phone recharges and ask him a couple of questions because he may well have the same tremor problem I do as it's often hereditary. If he might have that, maybe he'll be willing to go to the doctor about it. Essential tremors are inconvenient and limiting but not anywhere in the same ballpark of serious trouble as Parkinson's.

I'm really, really exhausted. I slept badly Sunday into Monday. I tried going to bed early last night but then woke six hours later when the Halcion wore off. I sort of slept after that, but it was the kind of sleep in which I was semi-aware and feeling frustrated about not being fully asleep.

I'm hoping to finish a draft of my Yuletide story this week, but it's going to depend on me actually getting some sleep. I feel right now like I could sleep, but Cordelia will be home in about 45 minutes. I may try napping after that. I don't know.
