Norahquietly delighted energy 2
Well then. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Swam. First time since…
Propped up on pillows
Ottolineflat energy 3
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 time rather…
Quiet
Samsteady energy 1
Notes for the week. 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 whole…
Two lines a day
Wilforganised energy 4
This week: Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Small logistics win: worked…
Walking
Poppytired but good energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that…
Walking
Beltired but good energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I…
Awake at four
Bertierested energy 5
A brief account of the week. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not…
First dose, done
Dotwired energy 2
Right. 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…
Walking
Hattietired but good energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…

She read the diary
Inêsheard 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. A locum who had clearly read nothing.…
A wedding
Maryamwarm energy 3
Recording this for the record. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. My mother cooks. That is how…
She reduced it
Rinbrisk energy 5
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She…
My mother cooks
Ruthieloved energy 5
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none…
Nothing to report
Tobiasflat energy 2
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. Steady. That…
A plain question
Minasteady energy 1
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…
First dose, done
Rowanwired energy 1turning point
This week: 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…
Stayed for the company
Florriewarm energy 1
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. Circle tonight.…

What is your secret
Pamawkward energy 4
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…
Steady
Tamsteady energy 4
Three things this week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because…
Before nine
Tobysteady energy 3
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of trying to…
