Second Shot

[nibblezz]

Got my second Pfizer shot from Walgreens on Wednesday. As expected my arm is still very sore. I experienced dizziness and vertigo that night. Yesterday, I was completely fatigued and would've slept the entire day if I allowed it. Last night my arm/forearm was so sore I couldn't sleep. So far today I'm doing ok. In about two-weeks I'll be fully vaccinated. That doesn't mean I can't get covid, just means I have a better chance of having a milder reaction and hopefully avoid hospitalization. 

I finally feel ok enough to clean my room and get ready for my mom's birthday tomorrow :)

Too much going on, so I cancelled my electrolysis appointment for tomorrow, rescheduled it for next week.

Congrats on the second dose! I'm hoping there will be enough AZ in Alberta by the time I need my second one.

Everyone's mileage is so variable with these shots, but I'm glad to hear that today is a better today. I hope you and your family have a fantastic celebration tomorrow!

Thank you! I heard Biden and Trudeau are in talks about sending more vaccines soon. Hopefully that translates to sooner rather than later.

So true. Some have nasty side effects, while others have none.

Other than my arm, I'm feeling normal. My mom had a good birthday :)

I wish I'd checked in earlier, I could have helped with the dizziness and vertigo.

Glad you're feeling better!

Thank you for offering, but no worries!! It was pretty mild :)
