Sorry if yesterday's blog had a little bit of "poor me" included. I didn't think I was feeling that but something of that genre was sure peaking through wasn't it? I spoke to Warren about an hour ago and found out that they will be releasing him from the hospital this afternoon. Apparently the redness is all gone from his arm; but the swelling and the pain aren't. My sister-in-law sent me something she found this morning on the pneumococcal vaccine.
"The CDC recommends that people 65 and older get the pneumococcal vaccine. The shot is safe and can be given at the same time as the flu shot...About half of the people who get the shot have minor side effects - temporary swelling, redness, and soreness at the place on the arm where the shot was given. A few people (less than 1 percent) have fever, muscle pain, or more serious swelling and pain on the arm.
Since they've been unable to identify any infectious agents, (and haven't I been saying all along that it had to be the shots????) I am inclined to think that he had the 1% reaction.
Releasing from the hospital can take all day, so I don't know exactly when we'll get out of there, but hopefully it won't be too late.
