Tinukewired energy 1
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. So.…
Reduced

Two years. My only news is that there is no news, and I have come back specifically to say so, because nobody wrote this part down for me. Reduced to a maintenance…
Six labelled boxes
Minaorganised energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. 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. Tested three…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Ashrough energy 4turning point
Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to…
A wedding
Belwarm energy 2
A quiet week. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. Sunday…
Slept through
Freyafoggy energy 4
Quickly, before bed. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there…
Starters as a main

Short one tonight. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…
Stayed for the company

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. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…
The list on the fridge
Gwynethsteady energy 2
Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Huworganised energy 3
This week: Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection day to my…
Somebody new
Larkwarm energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…
Grip
Odiletired but good energy 2
A brief account of the week. 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. Grip…
A locum
Ottolinefrustrated 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…
Two sessions
Ravitired but good energy 3
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.…
Nothing to report
Romysteady energy 5
A quiet 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 weeks. Steady.…
Awake at four
Ronanrested 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. Repeat study came back…

Back down a step
Vivsteady energy 3turning point
Right. Third day after the change is always the worst and I have finally stopped being surprised by it. Knowing it is coming does not make it pleasant, but it does…
Somebody new

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. Went for the practical answers and…

Two flights of stairs
Ashpleased energy 1
Right. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Bed. It is noon.
Flat, whole night
Bertiegrateful energy 2
A brief account of the week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop…
No news
Florriefine energy 1
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…
Paired
Harlanheld energy 4
Notes for the week. 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 quietly…
