She stopped the room
Fenwarm energy 5
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…
Before nine
Gwensteady energy 2
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
Grip
Harristeady energy 4
Recording this for the record. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Walked instead…
Before nine
Huwsteady energy 2
Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Spread it across…
She reduced it
Marniefrustrated energy 2
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which…
Six labelled boxes
Nadiapleased energy 5
Week in order: Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three cool bags…
Slept through
Ollietired energy 4
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced.…
No news
Patricksteady energy 4
A quiet week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the…
Six labelled boxes
Romyorganised energy 2
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…
No mask
Zebrested energy 4
Week in order: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off.…
Nine minutes
Annaheard energy 1
A brief account of the week. 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. Left with a…
Two flights of stairs
Poppyquietly delighted energy 2turning point
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Got…
I nearly did not write
Bramsteady energy 2
Right. 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 weeks. No news. The dog…
Nine minutes
Callaheard energy 5
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed,…
Nine minutes
Carlfrustrated energy 1turning point
Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Insulin reduced, under close…
Two sessions
Dillytired but good energy 1
Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Eight minutes and a chair. That…
Nothing to report
Ephraimsteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. 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…
Nothing to report
Esmesteady energy 2
Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
Off the floor
Flossiepleased energy 5
Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…
Protein first
Gavinsteady energy 5
Short one tonight. 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. Was…
Two lines a day
Heddaorganised energy 2
Notes for the week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines a day in a…
Paired
Keeleyheld energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has…
Paired
Odileheld energy 2
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
A rough few days
Ozzysore energy 2
Well then. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling…
