Hasn't it been blazing hot!! And my week was compounded by my covid booster jab and the RSV jab, which is for protection against chest infections. I was dreading going, but although getting into our very hot car, as on the drive it was facing the sun, once we were going the air conditioning kicked in and it was blissfully cool. The drive to Basil-end hospital takes about 15 to 20mins, all of 7 miles because of course here in Wales, the speed limit around towns is only 20 mph. Yes, very slow, but we're used to it now.
Amazingly we didn't have to wait and inside, it was cool. The needle didn't hurt, but as she dabbed the spot on my 'bad' arm I very much felt it and inadvertently gave out arggg sound. Its an automatic response, as it is very tender feeling. I don't ever have injections in it and wish I'd asked for my thigh instead.
It was awful and Wednesday I felt ill, my arms ached and I had aching joints and a head ache. And my 'broken' arm was hell, I felt ill. I was even off my food. Dh made his version of SW zingy chicken.my favourite and I hardly ate any, although some ice cream slipped down!
So what with the heat and the reaction to the jabs I hardly slept. But by Thursday I was feeling a bit better, but didn't go out and missed the Mahjong group in the afternoon.
I was fine after a good sleep and Friday we went to the SW meeting and lost 1.5 pounds!
So hopefully that's my jabs for a while. I know they are for my protection, but when I have a reaction, I'm not happy!!
Do you have a reaction to the covid jab?

I always react to the covid vaccinations... I feel really seedy and breathless for a couple of days but them it's pretty much over.
Hey! You lost over a pound! So at least the week ended well!
I am very thankful for cars with air conditioning. As a child, hot cars were the norm in summer, and how hot they were! My mother used to lay towels down on the seats before we got in so as not to burn our legs which were usually bare, in shorts or skirts. And we would roll the windows down and let the hot air fly around the car, finally feeling some relief when we sped up. But then how noisy it was!
My reactions to the Covid vaccine have been so strong, with some lasting effects, that after three of them I no longer get them.
