  • Both bags, one go

    Sara22 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do…

  • An unremarkable week

    Soraya22 Aug 2025flat energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. 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.…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Stellan22 Aug 2025brisk energy 4

    Notes for the week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had…

  • Dreams

    Mo21 Aug 2025rested energy 2

    Week in order: 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.…

  • She noticed first

    Moray21 Aug 2025held energy 1

    Right. 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 doing…

  • No mask

    Moss21 Aug 2025rested energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long…

  • An unremarkable week

    Odile21 Aug 2025fine energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Bonne soirée.

  • She read the diary

    Posy21 Aug 2025brisk energy 5

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which…

  • Flat, whole night

    Romy21 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 5turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Stood a…

    Stefan21 Aug 2025held energy 4

    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 doing on a…

  • Into town and back

    Winnie21 Aug 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Full week of clients without her shoulders aching. Carried both bags up in…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Lucas20 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since school. Two…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Aria20 Aug 2025held energy 5

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…

  • Sunday lunch

    Birdie20 Aug 2025awkward energy 3

    Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who…

  • The list on the fridge

    Bridie20 Aug 2025steady energy 2

    This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits…

  • Awake at four

    Cato20 Aug 2025foggy energy 2turning point

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Apnoea improved. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Espe20 Aug 2025organised energy 5

    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. Tested three cool bags against a…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Hannah20 Aug 2025held energy 4turning point

    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 with maryam_mornings. They text on Sunday…

  • No mask

    Petua20 Aug 2025foggy energy 1

    Short one tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no…

  • Protein first

    Sadie20 Aug 2025steady energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain…

  • Sunday lunch

    Ammi19 Aug 2025warm energy 1

    A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. My mother cooks. That is how…

  • Nothing to report

    Ash19 Aug 2025steady energy 3

    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 thing. No news. The dog…

  • She noticed first

    Linnet19 Aug 2025held energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Nadia19 Aug 2025warm energy 5

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of…
