Apologies to All

I have not been coming here much at all. Mostly it is related to the reaction to the pneumonia shot. It is manageable now, and feels much better. I did call the doctor Monday morning, and was told what to watch for, and what to do. On my own last night after work I decided to take some antihitamines. My reasoning was that if this was an allergic reaction, that would help. I think it did. However, taking this particular antihistamine guarantees I will sleep, a lot. So I barely could keep my eyes open, and in fact lay down around 5:30 p.m. I was wide awake at 4 this morning. I may do the same thing this evening, but only wait until bed time. I get a lot of "aha" moments in those early mornings. I like that. It is time for me to get busy with breakfast and try to do the things I did not do last night.

Please don't apologise for not being here. Just get better then you'll be able to return.

Well it has been a week, and I am almost back to normal. It is looking good. I even wore long sleeves on Tuesday because it looked so bad.

No worries. We all either have a lot to do, or just "life" hits us. No apologies necessary. Feel better !

Don't do too much your body might still need to recover.

Antihistamines never make me sleepy. I wonder why?

Most of them do not make me sleepy, but this is the granddaddy of them all, diphenhydramine (benadryl). It can either make you sleepy or it can make you wired. It is what is in a lot of sleep aids.

Now that shot has had a whole week. I can still tell where it was, but it is so much better, and I can get comfortable when I lay down.

There is no reason to apologize, try to get better and rest as much as you can. Take care.
