Default Freezing cold water and PD

A very odd afternoon. You know how sometimes the meds just "hang" and you just can't quite get across that threshold? And the harder you try the worse it gets?

Well, I was like that for five hours this afternoon. Lying around in a miserable lump. Finally, in desperation, I very carefully made my way into the shower and turned it on without warm up/

Oooo-Eeeee! I was hollerin' and cussin'! Every muscle in my body went from weak fibrillation to hardened cramp instantly. I stood it for three or four minutes. Got out and went across the hall and laid on the bed. I could already tell that I was doing better. In about ten minutes I was finally back on!
