At noon, I started to get anxious about the Covid shot. The reason my senses were on high alert is that I had just done the oncology procedure the day before, and I was afraid that I might fall asleep on my bed during my afternoon nap and miss this evening 6 pm appointment.
But I did my shot yesterday.
My COVID shot.
When I finally sat in the chair and had the nurse beside me and she had the vial in her hand, I was just shaking my head in amazement over the wonder of it all — line up, show your health care card -- only 45 minutes including the drive there and back, and the 15 minute waiting period.
All of it a miracle.
The nurse went over all of the possible side effects with Rebecca beside m, and then sent us home with a list of these side effects, telling us for each of them or for any signs for one might be alert, -- that is the moment to go to the hospital Emergency Room.
The hardest symptom to manage is nausea. I was surprised that eating too much has to be carefully managed alongside the fact nausea from the shot might present itself.
I was in the category of those who have you eaten too much, and then bolted upright knowing that I only has less than a second to make it to a place where the cleanup would be easier than later.
