Steady
Pamsteady 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. An…
A different shape
Tarnfoggy energy 5
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. Vivid dreams, every…
A1c down
Brampleased energy 5turning point
Well then. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Fine. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then…
Three years side by side
Flossiepleased energy 2turning point
Evening. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Fine. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a…
A different shape
Petuatired energy 3
A quiet 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…
Just Wednesdays
Romysettled energy 5turning point
Short one tonight. The strange part is not having a project any more. I had not understood how much I was enjoying having one. Reduced dose, steady. Nothing happened…
Walking
Ronantired but good energy 4
Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly…
The question I had been avoiding
Aleksfrustrated energy 2
A quiet week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked the question I had been…
Walking
Bramtired but good energy 1
Right. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…
Back without making it up
Taviatired but good energy 2
Evening. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier,…
An unremarkable week
Belflat energy 4
A quiet week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Better tomorrow, probably.
Steady
Bridieflat energy 4
This 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. Nothing to…
Come back in a year
Héloïsepleased energy 1turning point
A brief account of the week. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Good. Three years of results side by…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Lilheld energy 2
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…
Starters as a main
Nettieloved energy 2
This week: Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table…
Slept through
Ossianrested energy 5
A quiet 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…
Two flights of stairs
Sarapleased energy 3turning point
A gentle week, mostly. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Back to night shifts without dreading them. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood…
Two flights of stairs
Sorayaquietly delighted energy 2
Short one tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the…
Iron and B12
Tansypleased energy 2
Right. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a…
Anchored to the shifts
Rowanorganised energy 3
Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…
She noticed first
Cassheld energy 5
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in my journal…
A new bin and a plan
Ephraimorganised energy 4
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 and a great…
A1c down
Nadiapleased energy 4turning point
Week in order: Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c improved. Cycle regular.…
