Vaccine update: I had a very sore arm on Tuesday night. Like, it was so sore that when I reached over to pick the remote up off the couch next to me, I didn't want to use my left arm. It got sorer as the evening went on and when I went to bed I didn't want to lift my arm at all. I was careful to sleep on my back or right side. But by the time I woke up on Wednesday, my arm was feeling much better. And when I hit the 24 hour mark it was nearly back to normal.
I also felt sleepy. I wasn't any more tired than usual, just extra sleepy. It turns out I can push through tired pretty easily, but I have a harder time ignoring sleepy. I napped on Wednesday morning while Topher sat next to me on the couch and enjoyed some bonus Mickey Mouse Clubhouse time. I napped again this afternoon. As I'm writing this I feel sleepy again. Granted, it's 10:34 at night, but this is generally when I'm most awake.
My response has been quite mild. On the one hand, I'm thankful to not be out of commission. On the other hand, I've heard that strong immune responses mean the vaccine is working. I assume it worked, even without a strong reaction.
