A HERETIC I AM

Got my Pfizer Booster today.

Last of the initial 2 was late April, so I qualified for the booster and got it this afternoon. 3 hours on and I feel just fine, not even a sore spot.

Got my Annual Flu shot last Thursday, so.....if anyone needs an Anode, so to speak.......

I was on the road and away from home for a few days last week when I picked up a weird cold that started with what felt like Strep throat. Because I have COPD, I immediately got an appointment for when I got home. I tested Negative, which I'm happy for.

So...I'm happily triple-vaxxed for Covid and I'll be less susceptible to the Flu.

Get the shots everyone, and stay safe and well.

Felt fine throughout the rest of the day. Woke up Satuday morning with body aches from head to toe. 800mg of Advil had me feeling fine within a couple hours. I woke up Sunday morning, with the same thing. Had to miss church. Took the same dose of Advil and was soon fine. No issues since.

Up until now I had virtually no side effects. This time, on the first day, I experienced a swelling like mumps on one side of my neck, below my ear. It disappeared quickly, though. Then it re-appeared once more in the middle of the night. Nothing after that.

I've had my flu short, too, a week or so before the booster. It's a relief.

Should be fine with booster, a tad nervous of the flu shot, did get kinda sick the last time I got one. It’s been awhile, like 10 years, but getting older I thought I should just get it and live with the consequences. Keeping fingers crossed I don’t have to much of a reaction.

I had not had a bad flu-like illness for quite a while, but I guess my Pulmonologist must have talked me into it.

Just a sore arm....but not even close to the second (shit, that hurt).

But still not getting messages from Soros, Obama, or Gates, what gives?

Mostly the left, and sorry can’t remember which shot it was. All I remember is the nurse asking me which is my dominant arm, I said my right so he said, ok then, I’ll give ya the _______ shot in that left arm then. Next shot, and again I can’t remember which one, was given in the right arm. I’ll say tho, the left arm is more sore then the right arm but shoot, both hurt way more then the two previous Moderna shots.
