Dull and overcast this morning. I slept until nine and felt sleepy when I woke up, before taking my usual meds. By the time I went shopping to Tesco's mid morning I felt much worse. I chatted with Ashley on my way there and outside the store, but when I went into the store the 'toxic head' sensation was so bad that I had difficulty identifying and obtaining things on my shopping list. My memory map of the store layout was working. I didn't feel faint, physically speaking, nor was I dizzy, just light headed with a sensation akin to pins and needles was so strong it interfered with my ability make decisions, like signal noise on a radio degrading the sound output, brain processes were slow. Disturbingly, the sensation reminded me of the way I felt on the day of the stroke. What on earth is going on?
Clare cooked sausages for my lunch and a veggie burger for herself. Unfortunately I didn't notice her text message asking me to buy veggie sausages until I returned home. I slept for an hour after we'd eaten, and it was raining when I started on my afternoon walk with brolly and added rain trousers. My head began to clear slowly, thanks to exercise. I'm reluctant to go walking in the park if there's rain and wind and have to push myself to go out. If I don't my head takes longer to clear.
We've now secured our Tenby fortnight's holiday booking in May. It's good to have this to look forward to, plus the train trips to take us there and back. Such a delightful journey, especially from Carmarthen down to Towy valley.
After supper my head cleared enough for me to work on another biblical reflection for Morning Prayer on another difficult passage from Hebrews, and then it was time for bed, wondering if tomorrow my head will be any better than today.
