It doesn’t really leave room for all those ‘ghost dominoes’ that populate the way we look at everything. That theory- which I first heard in connection with the view that communism would topple adjacent counties if allowed to take root in South Vietnam-seems a simplification of the waves of influence that run through the events in our lives and in the world. Of course, the unfolding of causes-and-effects in our lives is rarely so simple as one domino toppling and knocking over an adjacent one. So, now I am taking a different blood pressure medication. Since this causes me to pee more frequently, I stop drinking in the afternoon, in order to have a chance to stay asleep at night. This led to the third domino: a lab test for elevated uric acid.Īnd the fourth domino? Discovering that dehydration can cause gout, I realized that, ever since a mini-stroke four years ago, I have been on a diuretic medication. And as for the original swelling in the front of my foot, he told me that I had had an attack of gout. A doctor poked around my swollen ankle and told me it was only a sprain. My foot and my ankle continued to swell, and the next morning my wife drove me to urgent care. But fortunately, my Prius was parked a few feet away and I stumbled against it. This incident (a 2nd domino) would have been much worse if I had then fallen. A few hours later, stepping off a concrete slab outside Los Cuates Mexican Restaurant, carrying Huevos Rancheros (eggs-over-medium, refried beans, pan-fried potatoes, green chili, and raw onions), and a cheese enchilada plate (with whole beans, rice, chili, and onions) –leading with my swollen right foot–my right ankle buckled outwards. Now I’m waiting for my primary to tell me if the results reveal anything I need to be concerned about.Ī few days before that, putting on my shoes before walking the dogs, I felt a stab of pain, and later I saw that the front of my foot was red and swollen. \documentclass, anchor=north, xslant=\xsl,yslant=cos \e/5, font=\sf, scale=1.I had a blood draw for uric acid yesterday. The four falling dominoes at the end (or start - depending on how you look at it) form one big unsatisfactory kludge. The "wavy" arrangement of the standing dominoes is quite straightforward.

Here's an Asymptote version that uses a semi-realistic model to compute the falling dominoes, giving vector output:Īnd, the animated version (halfway-the gif with a full 200 frames was too big to upload):Ĭode for the still picture (save in foo.asy and run asy foo): settings.outformat="pdf"
