Three years side by side
Gwynethrelieved energy 3turning point
This week: Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down. Iron and B12 both low.…
Two lines a day
Marnieorganised energy 1
A quiet week. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. New sharps bin, and a…
Nothing to report
Marthafine energy 4
Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing. An unremarkable…
No mask
Nettiefoggy energy 2
Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about it.…
The list on the fridge
Petuasteady energy 1
Short one tonight. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day…
A rough few days
Sorayarough energy 5turning point
Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Mild, and she wrote…
Propped up on pillows
Zoësore energy 2turning point
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I…
Two sessions
Annatired but good energy 5
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Two sessions this week, both short, both done.…
I nearly did not write
Abelsteady energy 1
A brief account of the week. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring…
Sunday lunch
Bertieloved energy 3
A brief account of the week. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course,…
Nothing to report
Dotflat energy 5
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…
Grip
Espetired but good energy 5
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole…
Protein first
Gigisteady energy 4
Evening. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Got something…
A locum
Hannahheard energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. She reduced one of…
What it displaced
Markpinched energy 1turning point
What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed, and a holiday. I have decided that is the right trade for now and I reserve the right to change my mind.…
Across the day
Tildasteady energy 3
Three things this week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when…
Somebody new
Ashwarm energy 4
The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Went for the…
Nine minutes
Raybrisk energy 2
Well then. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Nine minutes. I took three…
She noticed first
Gwendaheld energy 5
This week: My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month…
My mother cooks
Harlanloved energy 2
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none…
Both bags, one go
Ottolinequietly delighted energy 5turning point
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Walked up Arthur's Seat with a colleague and did not have to stop. Got down…
Nine minutes
Posyheard energy 4
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which…
Sunday lunch
Raviwarm energy 2
Notes for the week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…
Quiet
Rillasteady energy 1
Quick one. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running. Steady. That is the…
