This morning I felt as if I'd been struck by a train. Everything in my body ached, and I was as exhausted as if I hadn't slept at all. So I didn't ride this afternoon, as I planned. Instead, I spent much of today in bed. At least Marlee is happy: She can curl up on me to her heart's delight.
Last night, I received my COVID booster. I felt no ill effects after the first two doses, so I don't know why I feel the way I do. It may have to do with another vaccination, for shingles, I received at the same time.
I've ingested my average annual consumption--two tablets--of Ibuprofen. Perhaps I'll feel better tomorrow.
i can pretty much assure you that it's the shingles vax that's doing you in. The COVID shots were a piece of cake- only a sore spot from the injection- pulling the bandaid off was the worst part...the 1st shingles shot left me achy for a day, but the 2nd shingles shot put me off the game for about 3 days. Still better than having shingles! i recommend a heating pad and an unambitious schedule for the next day or two.
ReplyDeleteHad the 'flu shot today. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Mike--I suspected as much. You and others have confirmed that suspicion. I feel better now, but thanks for the heads-up about the second shingles shot. I had my flu shot in September and suffered no ill effects.
