Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I got a flu vaccine last Thursday, and my arm still hurts. There's still a big red spot around the injection site. My whole body aches and I've got a fever, or it feels like it. Is this normal, to still be hurting after five days? This has never happened before. To me, I mean.
I called the doctor's office but they haven't gotten back to me. So I guess I'm not dying. Trying not to be a big whiner but I expected it to be okay by now.
That's not normal, Zen. ETA: that is a reaction that someone should be telling you how to treat.
Ooh, that breakfast thing sounds great! As do TJ's pumpkin waffles. I just finished my mango waffles from the summer, so maybe it is time to reup with the new seasonal ones, although I was figuring on actually making waffles at home next time I was going to eat them. Well, gonna be a little while before that decision needs to be made.
Thanks, -t. This doesn't seem normal to me, either. I got a flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine and I don't remember which one this was. Hopefully the nurse wrote down which one went in which arm! I left a voice message for the nurse. Maybe they'll respond to that more quickly than they do to email.
Zen, last year I got the pneumonia vaccine and the nurse missed the muscle, and I had a very bad reaction if the area is red and/ or warm to the touch, you need to be seen.
Oh dear. It's entirely possible she missed the muscle, I don't think I have any muscles in my flabby arms. It's not so warm to the touch anymore, but it's still bright red in about a 2-inch diameter circle. Damn it, nurse, call me back.
Ugh, I hope they do call you back soon!
So, come to find out, they did pick up my stuff! So I guess they could find it after all and I don't have to be annoyed any more. Weird.
You probably need an antibiotic.
I have scheduled the Got Junk people for three Wednesdays from now. I'm waiting for the confirmation on the movers for Oct 17. It is happening.
Hopefully I won't throw up from stress and anticipation.
I very much hope they have called you back by now, Zen!
that's very weird, Jesse. Good to have it off your plate, however it happened, I guess.
I am still trying to eat my lunch. I don't know why this is so hard, except I did get busy with a project. Stupid hyperfocus, interfering with my meals.
They did not call me back. I'll call them again if they don't call me by 9:30 tomorrow morning.
