I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled at once. I kept one because I had already lost the back tooth so there was room. They gave me IV valium. I swear I would have been agreeable to them taking off my limbs one at a time. That was some awesome stuff. The next day and a few days after however were misery. I was particularly distraught because my husband at the time had zero issues when he had his out. He was a radio announcer and was on the air the next day. Grrr, not fair. 40+ years ago and I still am jealous.

First vaccine shot, whooo!
And now I’m trying to not engage with the person who left a kinda-sorta anti-vaccine comment on my vaccination selfie. I looked at their page, and damn. They are full-on anti vaccination, masks, and believe a lot of science taught “to our children!” Is, uh, fake news.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Well, I will be delighted for you!

What is even happening?
Woo hoo, Atropa!
Chatting with an NP friend around the fire pit last night and I mentioned your daughter's nose dive, Cindy -- she said she'd had 10 patients this week who hit the floor and said it's not unusual at all. She laughed because when they started giving the HPV vax however many years ago, there was this same "is there something wrong with the vax?" reaction from people, but that's just what we humans do after being stuck with a needle, sometimes.
If she'd keeled right after the shot, Sparky, I wouldn't have been as concerned (since she fainted during a blood draw once). It was that it was 10 or 11 hours later that seemed weird, but she's perfectly fine, and her more normal shot #2 side effects passed in a day or two.

Casper had a bad night with post-Pfizer dose 2 fever. My favorite part was when she said, teary, "I feel like a little bitch" (for being sick, apparently.)

I had side effects from the Pfizer vaccine, too. About 48 hours of being exhausted and achey and shivers after both doses. It also affected my cycle. (Still very happy and grateful for being able to have the vaccine, of course).

Timelies all!
Quiet on the board today...

I'm waiting for someone to pick up Jim's old desk. Wound up cleaning and reorganizing a file box trying to find the assembly instructions - didn't find them, but there's a big stack of old paper waiting to be shredded.
