How I feel in three graphs

I had a 10-minute appointment at my doctor's office yesterday to get my second shingles jab and a follow-up blood test to see how atorvastatin is working for me. It took until this morning for me to get all the data about how those things have affected me.

This is my Garmin stress graph for yesterday. See if you can spot when I got the shingles booster:

It did not get better overnight:

What's particularly sad here is that my body battery started at 99 yesterday, which has only happened 3 times since I started using Garmin fitness devices. I felt great! ...until just after 1pm, anyway.

At least the statin seems to have helped. For the first time in 11 years, my cholesterol levels are normal:
