Struggling

1 Ramadhan, 1443

15.40

Dealing with a mild headache and hoping it won't increase in severity. But the main problem today has got nothing to do with fasting, as far as I'm aware. I struggled with an achy left side for prayers this morning and the discomfort has increased in intensity as the day has gone on. Am feeling the need to take a couple of panadols but will delay these until the time for the breaking of the fast.

Feeling quite a bit better now, having broken the fast, but achy left sides don't suddenly fade away, I'm afraid. Will need to cope with this for the week ahead, which is going to be a busy one. So, a challenge - which is par for the course for Ramadhan and, in a curious, cautious way, to be welcomed.
