A brief account of the week.

Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before.

Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle.

Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at.

A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both.

Diary closed.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.

Take the win. Two flights of stairs is two flights of stairs.

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