And, yes, actually, I DID take an #atorvastatin last night before trying (unsuccessfully) to sleep. I’ll take the #Aspirin and #VitaminD in Sydney after transiting to the domestic #Qantas Club.

Along the way my daily dose of #Atorvastatin (cholesterol control) medication has been halved, TWICE, to (currently) 20mg. Although I’m also taking Vitamin D supplements (given that I have two skin shades: pale rider and incipient skin cancer, I’m not going to get Vitamin D any other way).

OK, so the Japanese Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare (I think) are adopting a “no news is good news” approach. #InsideJapan #CherryBlossoms2025

So, essentially, if I don’t hear from them by Friday next week, then I won’t need a permit to carry my #TransientIschaemicAttack medications (specifically #Atorvastatin to control cholesterol and #Aspirin as a blood thinner).
