Well, I've had a strange old day. I saw my dad for the first time since diagnosis earlier in the week and he seemed about the same; he's got some heart issues and a chronic pain condition so has always moved slowly, but I was watching him read something and all of a sudden the lower part of his face went into a big tremor/spasm. He didn't even seem to notice it, but then put his teeth together and it stopped. I've never seen anything like it and I noticed his hand was a bit shaky too. It seems that this has started since his diagnosis on Monday - which is so strange. He's not on meds yet but should be starting them this week.

I just had to keep reminding myself that drugs will help and that there ARE much worse things to get. My dad seems fine in himself - he was later trying to do some DIY, he was up and down the stairs with no problem - but the facial/jaw stuff was quite strange/frightening. I guess it's just a process of adjustment.
