It Will Be Fine They Said

 The doctor sent us to get four vaccines — flu, pneumonia, covid and shingles.  Two weeks ago we got the flu and pneumonia and did fine.  Yesterday we got the covid shot.  “They “ said the reactions are mild, even if you have one it will pass quickly.  I didn’t react to the very first shot we had at all but did to the second.  I was told that most people were having hardly any reaction at all — hmmm.

So, we arrived at Target at 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning and were promptly inoculated.  We went about our day.  Mid afternoon my arm started hurting that that didn’t surprise me.  Husband didn’t have any pain in the area.  I went to bed about 9:30 and told him I didn’t think I felt all that great. 

I woke up at 11:50 to a chill and feeling warm.  I went back to sleep.  I woke up again at 1:00 a.m. to another chill and a headache.  I still didn’t get up.  I finally emerged from my bed at 7 a.m. and feel like a wrung out dishrag.  Nothing is really horrible but I am very achy, stiff (nothing really new there), tired and my head feels like spaghetti squash.  I took Tylenol.

I googled to see how long it would last. “They” said I would only feel bad for a couple of hours but the Google says 1-3 days.  Yay!

So, with that I am going back to sleep.

Poor you :( I'm sorry you're feeling awful. I hope soon "it" will pass and you'll be feeling okay again.

Hi, Granny! It seems to be letting up but I am also having some season allergy issues — seems our pollen counts are really high right now. I am sure I will survive but it has been a yucky day. Tomorrow will be better!

Hi, Billie Jo — Thank you! I think I am on the mend but my allergies are acting up as well — if it’s not one thing it’s another. I am sure tomorrow is going to be a better day.
