Better Late Than Never Pfizer Please

One down and one to go. I got my first Covid -19 vaccine. I’m way behind many of you. Most of the people that I know are fully vaccinated! I really researched the best I could. Information about what to expect and the risks of both the Moderna and Pfizer Vaccine. Both have their appeal in percentage of immunity protection! I guess I chose the Pfizer because somehow my conclusion was that it has fewer talked about side effects. Who knows? I’m not an anti vaccination person, but I haven’t as an adult, been vaccinated for anything. I just don’t put a bunch of stuff into my body. I’m not a drinker, I’m in good health so I don’t have to take medication. I believe in an apple a day approach to good health. I hate the idea of having to take a pill to control something in my body. Anyway my point, this vaccine was something I really had to grapple with in my thinking. It wasn’t my go to for a solution at first.

I really firmly decided that I want to be able to start living life rather than hiding out from a nasty, killer virus. I decided that a proactive decision to join the masses and take the shots would be the best thing for me to do. I don’t want to get sick with Covid. The next thought was even more the best reason of all… I want to be part of the solution in the fight against Covid-19! Maybe taking one for the team, works to benefit my community as well. If that is the thinking, I’m for doing my part in getting vaccinated! I’m right handed so I turned in the passenger seat of the car to expose my left arm. I had very little arm discomfort from the shot at all! I will do the same on the second dose. 

I wasn’t sure how the vaccine would effect me. I got my first dose on Tuesday morning. By evening, I was feeling pretty wiped out. I’m pretty active and I keep busy with plenty of physical chores. I just felt kind of out of it. On Wednesday, I did a power walk and realized just how wiped out I felt! I ended up trying to sleep it off by taking a nap. That didn’t work, I was even more wiped out having slept. Anyway, I woke up Thursday and just kept busy all day. I was feeling fine. 

The second dose is the one people are saying is really tough… not looking forward to that! I will however try to keep the goal of being fully vaccinated in the forefront. I don’t want to have to give Covid-19 more of my attention, energy or acknowledgment! By my birthday in early June, I will be fully vaccinated! That is a pretty cool gift… I’m not sure how this will change my celebration. Maybe I’ll go to Vegas (lol, just kidding). Is anyone else missing buffets? That is what I have missed a lot during this pandemic. We had lovely Mother’s Day brunch buffets here at a few different local casinos. Don’t know if buffets will ever come back ?

I’m pretty happy with this. ⬆️ Someone is listening to this on my SoundCloud channel, a lot! It’s fun to have a fan of something that you cover! 

Whatever you choose to do regarding the vaccine don’t minimize Covid-19. It’s out there with several variants. What a heck of a year this has been. The decision deserves careful consideration. Be informed and do some research. Stay well and be at peace with your decision.
