First dose, done
Olliehopeful energy 3turning point
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. His…
Grip
Katetired but good energy 3
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, and he is annoyingly…
Propped up on pillows
Maryamsore energy 2
Notes for 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 mention it…
An unremarkable week
Doraflat energy 4
Week in order: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is…
Before nine
Duncansteady energy 1
Three things this week. 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…
A printout I cannot read
Hannahfrustrated energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no…
Laces
Priyagrateful energy 2
Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Walked into…
Standing in the kitchen
Lenawired energy 2
Notes for the 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 in the kitchen
Marknervous energy 4turning point
Ten minutes then I am asleep. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Told nobody…
Standing in the kitchen
Nannervous energy 3turning point
What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. Started because her granddaughter asked her to. The…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Katesore energy 4
Well then. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me to move further…
Back without making it up
Beatired but good energy 4
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,…
Day one
Devnervous energy 3turning point
I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. First entry includes three citations,…
Paired
Doraheld 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. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
The first one
Duncanhopeful energy 1
Week in order: 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…
First dose, done
Marthahopeful energy 1
A brief account of the week. What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. Nothing has happened yet,…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Maryamsore energy 2
Recording this for the record. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling…
Protein first
Samsteady energy 2
Recording this for the record. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing…
Protein first
Mattsteady energy 1
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…
Six labelled boxes
Salmaorganised energy 1
A gentle week, mostly. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch cooked on a…
An unremarkable week

Beginning, badly

Recording this for the record. 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…
Sore and slow
Katesore energy 3
Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to…
Both bags, one go
Raypleased energy 2
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Walked into town and back, which I…
