smokingbootThe ones I wasn't ready for included being really thirsty, having tight chest pains, a sore throat, and a recurrent cough.
This is so weird, I thought, aren't these symptoms of covid itself? All the stuff I had read said it wasn't the old cowpox/smallpox thing. It doesn't bring about the same symptoms. For a while there it was very alarming, about 5 hours of it. The local surgery reassured me the reaction was normal. After that it just dwindled away, excepting the thirst, headache, aches, fatigue. I crashed out around 9 pm. This morning it's just the headache and painful arm. Yet to see if the thirst and fatigue emerge.
My dreams were cluttered and crowded and chattery, a school or college I was at, a fortune teller informing me I had misread a relationship. But it was all very High School. There were bats or flying puppets, something like that.
I have never been particularly worried about catching Covid; my default belief is that I would be one of the 80% catching it, suffering a bit, getting over it, forgetting it. Had the jab more to protect those who don't get over such things, people like Mum.
Anyway, it's done. Looks like a nice day.
