How are you doing on a Wednesday
Dillyheld energy 1
Evening. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Duncanheld energy 1
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…
Six labelled boxes
Marthaorganised 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. Anchored injection day to my shift…
Protein first
Nedsteady energy 5
A quiet week. 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…
Nothing to report
Nixflat energy 3
Notes for 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. Nothing to…
Awake at four
Pruerested energy 5
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…
Two lines a day
Raviorganised energy 1
Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines…
Stayed for the company
Lenawarm energy 3
Recording this for the record. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…
Stayed for the company
Blywarm energy 2
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…
Slept through
Esmetired energy 1
Evening. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two…
Awake at four
Florrierested energy 2
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. The sleep has changed shape rather…
Circle tonight
Gavinwarm energy 5
A quiet week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed…
A wedding
Gillyloved energy 3
Well then. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…
The first one
Harrihopeful energy 2
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.…
Holding here
Hattiewary energy 2turning point
I have been at the same step for five months and every clinician I meet seems mildly surprised. It is working. I am not moving. Slowed the schedule right down. Went…

Beginning, badly
Tavianervous energy 2turning point
I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing there. Then eight…
A printout I cannot read
Vivbrisk energy 3turning point
Well then. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Her GP took it seriously, investigated, and treated it. Nine…

I nearly did not write
Poppyfine energy 2
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…

Nothing to report
Raysteady energy 1
Right. 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…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Mapleorganised energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for…
