Patrickgrateful energy 1
A quiet week. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have…
Dreams
Posytired energy 1
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. Two other people…
Across the day
Rafesteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. 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…
Eight minutes and a chair
Romytired but good energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and…
No news
Stellansteady energy 5
Recording this for the record. 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. I…
An unremarkable week
Tinukeflat energy 1
Evening. 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 theory…
No mask
Vivrested energy 5
Right. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. The sleep has changed shape…
Laces
Noahpleased energy 4
Well then. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Off…
The question I had been avoiding
Katebrisk energy 2turning point
Right. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Blood pressure medication reduced. She asked twice whether that was…
Flat, whole night
Ammipleased energy 4
Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I…
Quiet
Ashwinflat energy 3
Week in order: Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have…
Quiet
Clemmiesteady energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
The limits of yoghurt
Esmesteady energy 1
Evening. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising.…
She reduced it
Gillyfrustrated energy 4
Well then. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read…
An unremarkable week

Late, and writing anyway. 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…
A different shape
Huwfoggy energy 4
This week: Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Waking at four again. Not…
Somebody new
Keeleywarm energy 4turning point
Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Carers circle, where somebody asked…
Not the same concentration
Markcareful energy 5turning point
Quickly, before bed. Switching, and the concentration is not the same. I nearly worked from the old arithmetic out of pure habit. Moved from a compounded preparation…
A wedding
Marnieloved energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long…
Quiet
Mossflat energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. 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.…
Slept through
Nanrested energy 2
This week: The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It…
She read the diary
Blybrisk energy 5
Short one tonight. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions…
Before nine
Bosteady energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…
A new bin and a plan
Nellorganised energy 4turning point
Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Built a floor: three things she…
