The Vaccine
For a number of reasons, I chose to get the vaccine for the Big C. I’m an essential worker, my mom has many co-morbidities, and I’m asthmatic. So I really do not want to get the Big C. I scheduled an appointment to get it a couple Wednesdays ago, and the day I showed up they were stocked up on the J&J vaccine. Yes, the one-shot vaccine that is now on hold because six people got blood clots after taking it. I was one of the 40% who got side effects. In fact, I got ALL of the side effects. On Wednesday night, while at work. And I got one of the really bad ones as well. I went short of breath. Of course, I am asthmatic, so I’m used to being short of breath. And now I have an inhaler for that, so a couple hits later, I was breathing normally again. And after a couple hours of total side effect time, I was back online and fully operational. So I’m vaccinated and alive. Woohoo.
