I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment.

First entry includes three citations, which the community found funny.

The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the bits I remember and I will ask again at the review.

Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on.

I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing there. Then eight seconds. Then it was over and I felt faintly ridiculous.

So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it standing up in the kitchen with the radio on.

Reference on request.

Have you got someone to go with you? If not, several of us will be on the call on Sunday.

My pharmacist caught something similar for me. They are the most underused people in the whole system.
