So Far, So Good

It’s been 24 hours since I got my second vaccine dose. My arm hurts, but as long as I don’t try to raise it past shoulder level, it’s tolerable. Last night I had a brief period of fever and chills. Very early this morning I awoke with some extreme joint pain and a headache, both of which have since subsided, but not before robbing me of a few hours of sleep. I am groggy and exhausted, so I’ll have to take it easy today. That’s not ideal, but it’s probably a heck of a lot better than I’d feel if I’d caught Covid.
