The aftermath of my flu shot

Wow, yesterday was a bipolar day for my overall feeling of well being.  In the morning I felt itchy, but otherwise fine.  I went to school and printed off a list of parent contact information so that I could work on sending out an email for parent volunteers.  It was wonderful to be out and about.

Then after lunch the wheels fell off my day.  The arm where I had gotten my flu shot hurt like I had hit my funny bone.  It hurt like that all night.  My back ached and I had huge welts on my legs that would get better if I applied hydrocordozone cream.  It was a ROUGH night.  I kept thinking that I would need to go to the ER.  I feel better this morning, but I'm going to rest as much as I can!  I am thinking that I probably should not get another flu shot.  Last night was unbearable.  (The doctor's office called me back and they didn't think it could be a reaction to my flu shot.  I don't know what else it could be from!  Why else would my arm hurt like it was going to fall off!?

On a happier note, Ted is 18 months today.  We sang him "Happy Birthday", Hickory Park style.  He loves all the clapping.
