Ouch

“this post is being released a couple weeks after I wrote it.”

I worked a shift yesterday at one of the Union City PODs. Since we had all three US available vaccines, I went ahead and got my “augmentation” shot as recommended by my Oncologist. Moderna as it happens to be.

Perhaps you might remember my whines last Feb when I received my second shot and felt like cr*p for a couple of days? Well, guess what? Even though the blood tests had come back flat – no immunity here folks – my personal immune system had a different reaction when challenged. I was very glad one of my co-workers had offered to cover my shift at Eden Community Center.  By 2130 last night, I was sure that I didn’t want to work today.

This morning? Ugh. I am with it for the moment, but not sure it is going to last. (Shall we just leave it at fever and chills?) But, as I keep reminding everyone – it is soooo much better than getting SARS-COV2 and landing in the hospital.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
