Sunday lunch
Rafeawkward energy 2
A brief account of the 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…
A new bin and a plan
Tedorganised energy 3
This week: New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which…
No news
Bertiesteady energy 2
Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
Paired
Duncanheld energy 4
Three things this week. 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…
A different shape
Freyafoggy energy 3
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…
The first one
Gilhopeful energy 3turning point
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 stop reading it.…
Paired
Gillyheld energy 1
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
Awake at four
Gustired energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was…
I nearly did not write
Gwendasteady energy 5
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made…
I nearly did not write
Hattieflat energy 5
Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…
I nearly did not write
Minniesteady energy 2
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 report.…
Fewer, heavier
Nantired but good energy 1
Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I…
Steady
Ottolinefine energy 5
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…
Both bags, one go
Saoirsepleased energy 2
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since…
The list on the fridge
Theasteady energy 5
A brief account of the week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a…
Grip
Devtired but good energy 5
Notes for the week. 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…
She reduced it
Dorabrisk energy 5turning point
Three things this week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Her internist reduced her metformin. She had…
Two flights of stairs
Flossiegrateful energy 2
Evening. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Early market.
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Gwenheld energy 1
This 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 become the…
The bad fortnight
Larkrough energy 2turning point
A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot settle to anything. Nausea at four…
Two sessions
Mapletired but good energy 5
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…
A locum
Markbrisk energy 5
Quickly, before bed. 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…
Slept through
Maryamtired energy 5
Recording this for the record. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit…
Sunday lunch
Norahawkward energy 5
Well then. 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. My mother cooks.…
