1. How many more mornings of this?

2. More soup for breakfast.

3. Backache.

4. So much time to lay around and think but not enough energy to do anything with those thoughts.

5. More soup. More sleep.

6. Trying to keep myself still, listening to the warnings not to push myself too hard too quickly.

7. Lightheaded.

8. I need one more day. Two more days. Three more days. Another two years.
