Steady
Ambrosesteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather…
The limits of yoghurt
Duncansteady energy 2
Three things this week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at…
Stayed for the company
Flossiewarm energy 2
Evening. 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 for…
A different shape
Kezfoggy energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much…
An unremarkable week
Larksteady energy 2
Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
Beginning, badly
Nualahopeful energy 2turning 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.…
Two sessions
Lenasteady energy 1
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole…
Paired
Boheld 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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…
A printout I cannot read
Brodybrisk energy 1
This week: A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. She reduced one of my other…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Doraheld energy 1
Three things this week. 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. Nobody has ever asked me…
Slept through
Gustired energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
Day one
Iveswired energy 3
What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person,…
She read the diary
Linnetbrisk energy 5
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. I was polite, I got what…
I nearly did not write
Mossfine energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. 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.…
Quiet
Nedflat energy 4
A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Aye.
First dose, done
Nixhopeful energy 3
So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it…
The list on the fridge
Pippasteady energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the…
Both bags, one go
Posyquietly delighted energy 4
This week: Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Carried both bags up in one go.…
A new bin and a plan
Priyaorganised energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about…
Circle tonight
Gigiwarm energy 5
Evening. 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…
Before nine
Keeleysteady energy 1
A quiet week. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of…
Starters as a main
Luwarm energy 5
Quickly, before bed. 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 solved.…
No news
Maplefine energy 2
A gentle week, mostly. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…
First dose, done
Minniewired energy 2turning point
This week: 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.…
