1. Looks like we made it through the weekend, can I get an amen?
2. No, normally that wouldn’t be how I’d approach a Monday but whoa buddy…since that second Moderna vaccination on Wednesday, man, It’s Been A Time.
3. Wednesday was bad. Overnight Wednesday was horrific; Thursday was terrible rolling into a traumatizing evening. SO MUCH BADNESS.
4. I was still doing icky on Friday. I wanted to be better and figured mind over matter, that sort of thing, but that’s not how this stuff works.
5. Icky Friday was filled with napping, drinking Gatorade, napping again, drinking more Gatorade, serious napping, getting up to pee, a miserable attempt at eating dinner, dragging myself through one tv show then passing out for the night.
6. On the upside, I actually slept Friday night. Nothing makes you appreciate sleep like two nocturnal cycles of misery.
7. Slow Saturday was filled with loopy delays. Like I was there but not quite there there, if you know what I mean. Everybody has days when they’ve got no business doing online shopping, am I right?
8. It was also a pogo energy day. Take a shower…then lie down and rest. Let the dogs outside…then lie down and rest. Chop up some veggies…you get the point. If I’m totally honest I probably shouldn’t have been handling that chef’s knife so we’ll count our lucky stars I ended the day with fingertips intact.
9. I was feeling much better by Sunday. As best I can tell I’m just going to be a little extra tired at the end of the day for a bit but I’ll take it.
10. In nine days I’ll be spinning like Wonder Woman. It’s not like we’ll be throwing any parties over here, but when I’m fully vaccinated? We’re talking kitchen dancing and margaritas, man. CAN I GET AN AMEN??
Those effects are pretty common here. But so worth it in the months to come.

I absolutely agree. My son’s getting his second pfizer in a couple of weeks and I’m hoping he doesn’t have to deal with that kind of reaction but I think even he would agree it’s worth it.

Uggghh that you had the ‘bad’ reaction to that 2nd vaccination. Someone I talked to IRL postulated that perhaps folks who got your kind of reaction might have had Covid and were unaware of it = as to my knowledge anyway nobody tests the people getting vaccinated for Covid prior to the shots. I’m not saying that you had Covid or were exposed, but the supposition makes sense in light of the scads of people who get both vaccines and scarcely notice, and those like yourself who are made horribly ill by the stuff. I’m so sorry and take it a day at a time. As you say, Margaritas in due course! Celebration time!

Being grateful for small gains has been crucial. Yep, I’ve heard the stuff about covid too — even the cases where people contracted covid between the second vaccination and the 14 day mark of “fully” vaccinated. Come to think of it, there are the cases of fully vaccinated folks who still catch covid. This isn’t a magic bullet for me, it’s just going to make regular life a lot less stressful. 🙂

Wow! That second shot must’ve really done its job in protecting you from Covid. I’m glad you’re feeling better, and hope you are back to normal – well, normal, with less tiredness than normal – soon.
