Default (non-technical/bio-med)Reply to Let's play.....EXPLAINNNN THIS!

Sorry reverett123 for not putting this under your thread. I did try to read most of the postings there. But some of the longer bio-med reports can lose me instantly. And as I start clicking to scroll down I end up missing something good that was in laymans terms. I kinda figured if I was doing it, other lurkers are to. No disrespect to those who post the bio-med reports or to those that enjoy reading it. I just get confused trying to read them. Confusion = Back Button. If this is a little hard to follow, I've been a scatter brain for the past couple of days. It's been one of those weeks where you feel like you're just along for the ride. Add PD together with the always pleasurable stress factors of teenage daughter, X-mas, a 2 day invasion of the "in-laws", nasty cold weather, and a 180 pound English Mastiff that's in heat......WOW! I think I figured out why haven't slept well for the past couple of days.

I've definately noticed some odd stuff that doesn't fit the PD stereotype. And I had a bag full of "tricks" that I used to help survive the "cubicle wars", when I was still working.
Some of the odd things I've noticed (and can remember);
I can run sometimes. BUT, it ain't pretty. If you want a mental picture watch the newer version of Planet of the Apes. I can run on my toes only, my heels don't touch the ground.
The finger on the back of the hand does work, unless I'm handing or receiving change in a store. In that scenario, I could beat the back of my hand with a toilet plunger and it still won't quit shaking.
My left leg occaisionaly will have a very brief freeze when I'm walking inside, but it rarely happens outside.
I'm almost alway better in the mornings than I am in the afternoon.
I walk a lot better if I don't look at my feet and focus on my destination. In the house I now have wood floors. I know it sounds strange, but I feel like I walk better barefoot. I've always had on shoes or hard bottom slippers with the carpet. Also, a wood floor equals less static electricity shocks.
I HATE SPIDERS, always have. And we have some big, bad, hairy, kick Godzillas butt spiders around here. My PD doesn't seem to affect my lightining quick reaction of an unmanly pee dance when I see one. I'm absolutely Not joking. I can move (glide?) very quickly across the room when I see one.
I've tried to attach a pic of the last monster my wife cornered/captured. You're looking down into a one quart(not pint) mason jar. I put a quarter under the nasty critter for size reference. (okay..now it says I may not post attachments, I might need a little help with the pic).
