I used to be afraid of the flu shot. You hear so many rumors. You will get the flu when you take it .... Well that year when it was a different strain. Maybe the Swine Flu? I don't remember exactly but people were dying from the flu so I decided to take it. What did I have to lose? I lived over it and nothing happened. Every year after that I have taken it. I didn't get sick and didn't get the flu.
This year I was really brave and decided to get the higher dose for over 65. I suggested it when I went to CVS to get my shot. I ask the guy that gave me the shot what was in it. H e said the same as the other one, just a little more stronger. He did good too. I didn't even feel it when he gave it to me. I told him he was a very good shot giver. He thanked me.
Tonight I am not so sure though. My arm hurts where I got the shot. I have a feeling it will really be sore tomorrow. I have a headache. Just not feeling up to par. I read online to see what it says about this stronger shot. I usually do that before I do something. It said your symptoms might be a little worse like arm hurting or tender or headache but mild stuff. It usually just lasts a couple of days.
So tonight I am in bed early with a bunch of magazines and my book I am currently reading ,"To Kill A Mockingbird". I got plenty to do. And my friend Vicki is texting me telling me I need to have my phone by me .Be sure and let my son know I got the shot. She worries about me more than my family does.
I think when I wake up in the morning I will be lots better. And I don't have to worry about getting my flu shot. It is done! So don't forget to get yours! If I can do it and be brave so can you! Where shots are pills are concerned I am the worst sissy you will ever see!
