An unremarkable week
Soniasteady energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…
The question I had been avoiding
Tambrisk energy 1turning point
Three things this week. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Took the…
The limits of yoghurt
Taviasteady energy 2
Evening. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits…
Circle tonight
Tullawarm energy 3
This week: Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly…
Into town and back
Beaquietly delighted energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Walked into town and back, which I stopped…
She read the diary
Blyfrustrated energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. 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…
The bad fortnight
Boflat energy 5
A quiet week. Reflux again. I slept propped up on three pillows and woke at two anyway. I have an appointment on Thursday and I am going to actually mention it this…
The question I had been avoiding
Bridiebrisk energy 5
This week: Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her…
The list on the fridge
Duncansteady energy 1
Week in order: 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…
First dose, done
Ephraimwired energy 3turning point
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. A…
Anchored to the shifts
Rayorganised energy 3
Right. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Tested three…
Before nine
Heddasteady energy 4
Notes for the 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 have…
Nothing to report
Keeleysteady energy 2
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Mum needs settling.
No mask
Kezfoggy energy 4
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask.…
Granted
Modetermined energy 5turning point
Three things this week. Made a flowchart. I am aware this is a coping mechanism. It also worked. Refused twice before he started. Wrote it up as a process problem.…
She read the diary
Olliebrisk energy 4
Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Took the diary in. She read it…
I nearly did not write
Prueflat energy 5
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. That is the…
Where the pen lives
Sadieorganised energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two…
Where the pen lives
Saraorganised energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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.…
An unremarkable week
Annasteady energy 3
A brief account of the week. 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…
She stopped the room
Noahwarm energy 4
Well then. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…
Nine minutes
Rohanfrustrated energy 4
Notes for the week. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Asked the…
Sore and slow
Bertierough energy 5
A brief account of the week. Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I…
Awake at four
Birdietired energy 3
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. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort…
