Come back in a year
Ivesrelieved energy 3turning point
This week: Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. A1c down. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment,…
Back without making it up
Linnettired but good energy 4
Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Kept the two sessions that matter…
Awake at four
Maplerested energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there…
A locum
Nadiabrisk energy 1
Three things this week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked the question I…
An hour on the floor
Pippagrateful energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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. Tied my…
A wedding
Vivawkward energy 5
Well then. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still…
Grip

Notes for the week. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Walked…
An unremarkable week
Bexsteady energy 5
Quickly, before bed. 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…
Unremarkable
Nellrelieved energy 1turning point
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Improved, and iron better after treatment.…
Laces

Well then. 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. Split a winter's wood in a weekend.…
An hour on the floor
Maevequietly delighted energy 3turning point
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked Knocknarea with her sister. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the…
Flat, again
Mosslow energy 3turning point
A gentle week, mostly. Ada said something in circle that has stayed with me: that a plateau is weather, not a verdict. I have written it on a card. Flat, and he wrote…
Where the pen lives
Ozzyorganised energy 5
Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. New sharps bin, and a…
Anchored to the shifts
Tildaorganised energy 1
Three things this week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three…
What is your secret
Ashloved energy 1
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. Somebody asked what my…
A plain question
Dotsteady energy 3
Well then. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it…
A locum
Markfrustrated energy 3
Quickly, before bed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who had…
My mother cooks
Nualawarm energy 5
Right. 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. Somebody asked…
A different shape
Odilerested energy 3
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…
Flat, whole night
Oskargrateful energy 1
Notes for the week. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote…
Iron and B12
Peggyrelieved energy 2turning point
This week: Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. A1c down. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather…

Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. A1c down, liver enzymes improved. Three years of results side by side. A…
Stayed for the company
Stellanwarm energy 1
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…
Nothing to report
Wystansteady energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…
