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 eight seconds. Then it was over and I felt faintly ridiculous.

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 and I will ask again at the review.

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.

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 behind.

Enough words.

I did the same thing with the box, for six weeks, in a two-bedroom flat. We are ridiculous and we are fine.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.

This is why I read the boring weeks. Thank you for the boring weeks.
