An unremarkable week
Lufine energy 5
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
No mask
Minnietired energy 2
This week: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there…
A rough few days
Mosssore energy 1turning point
A gentle week, mostly. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. A hard…
At the table
Nualaclose energy 3
Well then. Hid the box for two months. Not sure who from, exactly, in a house this size. My sister started too, three weeks after me. We compare notes badly and…
No news
Pamsteady energy 5
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day…
Laces
Raviquietly delighted energy 5
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got…
Steady
Ronanfine energy 4
Steady. That is the whole entry. 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.…
Before nine
Solomonsteady energy 3
Three things this week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
An unremarkable week
Sorrelfine energy 4
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 that a…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Tarnflat energy 2turning point
This week: 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…
I nearly did not write
Tobyflat energy 5
Quickly, before bed. 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.…
An unremarkable week
Poppyfine energy 2
Quickly, before bed. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing…
Both bags, one go
Rowanpleased energy 1
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. Carried both bags up in one go.…
Two lines a day
Ambroseorganised energy 4
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. Small logistics win: worked out where…
Slept through
Annikatired energy 4
Short one tonight. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different,…
First dose, done
Ashwinhopeful energy 4
Week in order: The leaflet is nine pages and about seven of them are worst cases. I have read it three times, which was three times too many, and I am now going to…
A plain question
Bunnypractical energy 5
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and…
Steady
Flossiefine energy 3
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…
Stayed for the company
Gillywarm energy 3
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…
Six labelled boxes
Harlanorganised energy 1
Notes for the week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags against a…
A plain question
Harripractical energy 4turning point
Notes for the week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. A new relationship with protein and a lot of Greek…
Where the pen lives
Izzyorganised energy 2
Well then. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer…
Dreams
Larktired energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than…
Both bags, one go
Mossquietly delighted energy 1
Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened…
