good morning all. 41 going to 52 in sunshine today and tomorrow.
Oh my what a miserable past 18 hours.
Came in from log splitting, was awfully sore and very clogged up.
Took a shower, came out and started shivering.
And my upper arm, where I got the flu shot the day before, plus a pneumonia shot, was swollen and red around the shot area.
and I was cold, so cold I got in bed after lunch, turned the electric blanket to high, and felt pretty badly, clearly flu like, and I hardly ever get the flu, haven't in 20 years.
First time for everything, never had reaction to shot before.
I get the senior extra strength one, maybe this year there was something different in there.
and here I was joking with the nurse that I never get sick...sure jinxed myself.
I think flu shots are important, and glad I feel almost normal again this morning. Nurse tells me sometimes it takes a few days for the reaction to go away
so will try to take it easy today, though helper is coming at 9am for a little while, and then to take home his xmas gift.
I got him a portable jumpstarter/air compressor for the back of his car, same small size as I carry in the Audi, fine for his small car and mine, but not for
starting diesels, etc. I gave one like this to my oldest brother about three years ago, and he keeps thanking me, says it's one of the handiest things he's ever had.
If you don't have an air tank, hauling this little air compressor to the machinery, or one's own car, can save the day, so I'm a real believer in these things.

the info about the hearing aids was very helpful. Probably in my not too distant future.
