As I had mentioned, I received the second dose of the Covid vaccine on Sunday. Overall, it hurt worse than the first. The arm pain that subsided did return sooner than I had expected. I ended up taking a nap and took it easy the rest of the day.
I did have a rough night. I got chills and felt like I had a fever (but I didn't). I had a slight headache but nothing that Tylenol couldn't fix. I had a ton of energy but the only thing was if I did too much, I would get body aches. My arm especially hurt to move. Since we had such a lovely day, I has my husband put up the clothes line and took advantage of the warmth! Plus I figured it was good movement for my arm. I did have to take breaks in between putting loads out but it was from the body aches. It was crazy how much energy that I had!!! Until later in the day, I put my last load of wash on the line and laid down immediately. I started getting chills and for the first time I had a fever over 100. I took some more Tylenol and fell asleep for a few hours. I woke up to the smell of homemade pizza! I did lose my appetite...I made myself eat a yogurt, made myself a low carb shake when the fever appeared and had a small slice of pizza because it smelled so good. I was bummed that I didn't get to walk the park...and thankfully, I did my exercise program over the weekend because I wouldn't have been able to handle that yesterday!
My pup is always at my side!
Chocolate shake made with Almond Milk, Brewers Carb Smart chocolate ice cream topped with whipped cream and ChocZero chocolate syrup (OMG - so delicious!!!)
Overnight, I did wake up several times sweaty so I would assume that I was fighting a fever again. But this morning, I feel great! The pain in my arm has gone down. It does hurt to touch and my arm is swollen and sore but nothing terrible! I am full of energy so I am hoping to get a lot done today!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
