She noticed first
Clemmieheld energy 5
She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…
Laces
Duncanpleased energy 1
Three things this week. 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. Tied my own…
An unremarkable week
Ikefine energy 2
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 nearly did not write this week…
Fewer, heavier
Marnietired but good energy 1
Short one tonight. 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.…
Stayed for the company
Ottolinewarm energy 3
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. Somebody new…
Across the day
Ravisteady energy 5
Recording this for the record. 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…
Starters as a main
Rillawarm energy 1
Quick one. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Somebody asked what…
Where the pen lives
Samorganised energy 4
Recording this for the record. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That…
Fewer, heavier
Lucastired but good energy 3
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two…
Anchored to the shifts
Florrieorganised energy 1
New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four…
Grip
Hattietired but good energy 4
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…
She read the diary
Hollyfrustrated energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced…
Into town and back
Linnetquietly delighted energy 2
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. Up the stairs at work twice without…
Nine minutes
Mofrustrated energy 3
Week in order: Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Left with a printout…
Into town and back
Odilequietly delighted energy 4
A brief account of the week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up.…
The question I had been avoiding
Posybrisk energy 5
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. Asked the question I had been avoiding for…
A rough few days
Tarnsore energy 3
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…
Anchored to the shifts
Vivorganised energy 3
Well then. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that…
Two sessions
Wystantired but good energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. 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. Walked…
The bad fortnight
Annaflat energy 1
A brief account of the week. A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot…
The limits of yoghurt
Nellsteady energy 1
Short one tonight. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and…
Awake at four
Devtired energy 1
Notes for the week. 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…
My mother cooks
Fenloved energy 4
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, slowly, and I say thank…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Harlanorganised energy 2
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. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad…
