My Diary --The Flu Jab

1 minute read time.

On Saturday Ray and I went to the GP Surgery to have the Jab and there were so many patients– and it was packed out.

The Nurses were working very fast, that we soon got called in to roll up our sleeve and receive the jab.

That was that for another year.

Off we went to do some shopping and then had a great time walking Louis and had Gammon Steak for dinner and settled down to watch X factor on the Telly, went to bed and watch a film until I went to sleep.

Woke up with a sore arm and then run to the bathroom to be sick.

Stayed in bed while Ray did the housework and take the dog out as I slept on.

I did start to feel better but then slept all afternoon.

Tonight I feel better –a lot better so can only think that putting two vaccines together has hit my Immune System.

They have given us the Flu and Swine Flu together this year.

Oh well I do feel OK so that’s it for another year.

This week is going to be exciting as I’m talking to the  Frances McKay, Macmillan Lung/Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialist, Medway Maritime Hospital as she has asked me to help set up the Kent Group.

At the moment I don’t know what that will entail but im about to find out.

    Hope you're soon back to normal Mavis.  I am having a flu jab on Wednesday.  I'm not looking forward to it.  The swine flu jab last year gave me a sore and swollen arm for over a week.  I was hopng it might be better this time.

    Hi Mavis/Daffie,

    Things could have been a lot worse you could have had your jabs on the Bum. Now that would have been sore. Having said that my nurse is coming to give me mine tomorrow. But she will have to find me first.!!!!!!!!

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    We had our jabs on Saturday as well.  I must say it was like a production line in our surgery....  check in, arm bared, jab and out again.  Easy.  Just feels bruised and apart from that no other effects I'm glad to say.  They didn't mention swine flu..........

    Hope the talk goes ok.

    See you soon

  • viv read your letter that came as a reminder to phone for an appointment.

    Thats where we were told but the Nurse told me it was 2 together but the other nurse didn't tell Ray.

    Glad you are doing well xxx

    We don't get a letter, I had been reminded and just phoned for an appointment!  Our surgery don't send out letters for anything I don't think!
