Last Saturday, 13th of March we drove to Thanksgiving Movie Theater and had our 2nd Pfizer vaccine. No waiting and we both were able to have our vaccine at the same time (even though our appointments were 30 minutes apart). It was quick, everyone was very friendly and not many people there. So Saturday evening my arm hurt a lot and I had to put an ice bag on. During the night David and I felt hot and cold, mine continued all Sunday, but David felt after lunch better. We both felt weak, but he was able to go for a walk. I laid down most day and read. Monday David was ok and I still felt weak and my throat ached in the morning. I went for a walk with the grandchildren, but came back so exhausted. Today is Wednesday and I still feel weak. I did not walk yesterday, but worked in the house sorting rooms out for our nephews stay in April. Today I walked and did some housework, but I feel like someone has emptied me, like someone has hit me. So exhausted. I hope my energy comes back as I have always had lots of energy. I heard and read that some people felt weak for a week, so I will be patient. I am very much aware that what we are putting into our body is not good for us, but will help with the virus. I don’t like it, but for the community I will do my part. So hopefully I am back to normal in two weeks when we can socialize more with our families.
My daughter Rebekah asked me today what I am most looking forward to after the two weeks. Good question? I like the idea of having more choices and more options. Seeing the family and grandchildren is on the top of the list. Then I said I missed having seen her chicks and want to see them before they have all grown up. I want to go swimming and explore more. I hope and pray that we remember this last year. I hope we learned how short life can be and enjoy each moment.
