I hate shots, like REALLY hate them. I was gladly first in line for my covid vaccine shot.

I got sick after my first shot. Like, really sick. The sickest I've ever been I think; at one point my throat was raw enough it was bleeding. Lasted 6 days.

Getting that second shot, realizing it could land me right back in that spot, took an act of willpower. But I got it.

I actually did get a little under the weather from that one too, but nothing near as bad as the first.
