Grey sky and drizzle today. I didn't take my daily statin when I got up this morning, and didn't feel foggy headed, just a bit light headed from the dose of Losartan.
In the news, Mass protests about the economic crisis against the corrupt and incompetent government of Iran are being suppressed by brutal violence causing over five hundred deaths. Internet and phone services have been shut down, but it hasn't stopped video reports from getting out. Trump is threatening to intervene, which could lead to reprisals against American forces. His perverted Messianic complex drives him to throw his weight around and get himself noticed for being the 'strong man' who has an answer to every problem. His very unpredictability leads other political leaders to see him as unreliable
The three of us went to St Catherine's for the Eucharist with about thirty adults and a dozen noisy kids. Shopping at the Coop after a short stay in the church hall, then home for lunch. A snooze in the chair after eating, then a walk in the park with Rachel while Clare's study group held their session in our dining room.
We walked until sunset and arrived home just as rain returned after sunset. My head has been clearer and my wits sharper today in the absence of the daily statin. I don't know why. Will it be the same tomorrow? Am I particularly sensitive to this medication as a consequence of the stroke? Are the other drugs I take combined with the statin making me feel poorly, as if I had a hangover? Who knows? Time will tell.
