She noticed first
Nettieheld energy 2
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 how I was…
Where the pen lives
Norahorganised energy 3
Well then. 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. Small logistics win: worked…
Before nine
Salmasteady energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Greek…
Steady
Yannickfine energy 1
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…
A locum
Bayfrustrated energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Steady
Birdiefine 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…
Grip
Callatired but good energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. 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,…
Walking
Devtired but good energy 1
Recording this for the record. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both…
I have started
Odilewired energy 4turning point
Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on.…
Across the day
Olliesteady energy 4
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have found five things I can get down when…
The list on the fridge
Ozzysteady energy 5
Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written…
Sore and slow
Peggysore energy 2
Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night. Sore at the injection site for about ten…
The pattern of it
Prueflat energy 2
A brief account of the week. 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…
An unremarkable week
Soniafine energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
The list on the fridge
Vivsteady energy 3
Right. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get down…
Fewer, heavier
Lenatired but good energy 2turning point
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Lost grip strength before anything else and noticed…
Steady
Minafine energy 1
Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Until Monday.
A plain question
Annikasteady energy 5
A quiet week. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Got…
First dose, done
Belwired energy 4turning point
Late, and writing anyway. The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the bits I remember…
Before nine
Bunnysteady energy 3
Evening. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Greek…
Sore and slow
Hattiesore energy 2turning point
Late, and writing anyway. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. A…
Quiet
Heddafine energy 1
Notes for the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Done.
First dose, done
Maritwired energy 3
This week: What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. So. First one done. I had been carrying the…
Into town and back
Maryampleased energy 3
Recording this for the record. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of…
