Evening.

The leaflet is nine pages and about seven of them are worst cases. I have read it three times, which was three times too many, and I am now going to stop reading it.

Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave one behind.

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.

Grandkids at ten.

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.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.
