A brief account of the week.

Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at.

Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me.

Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle.

A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both.

Learning.

Do you want to come to the Thursday circle? You would not have to say anything.

Would you be willing to say more about how you raised it? I have an appointment on the 14th and I keep losing my nerve.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

Ninth week for me too and I also nearly stopped. Glad neither of us did, so far.
