Oh, and by the way, always giving glory to our Lord, Jesus Christ! He comes first. Always.
So I got the Pfizer shot.
The first week was like any vaccine. Feeling off. But nearing the end of the second week my heart started to race, I was getting pins and needles in the arms, extreme fatigue and a very strange sensation of dizziness. I took nurofen, and I kept working.
By the end of the third week i was getting steadily worse. Sharp chest pain, cold shivers and chills, and the dizziness was intense.
25 days after the shot and probably a little late to hospital, but here I am, diagnosed with pericarditis, or inflammation of the heart due to the Pfizer vaccine.
Since being here I’ve contacted health professionals I know in Sydney and while It’s rare, it’s certainly not isolated. One hospital has had well over a dozen cases like me.
This is not a post for sympathy. The hospital and staff at the Gold Coast uni hospital have been beyond great and although it’s all new territory I’m told I’ll make a full recovery although I could be like this for months.
Thankfully I have the worlds smallest nurse keeping an eye on my ever present ECG.
But my present thought would be: in the current vaccine frenzy, no one is talking about this but it’s clearly happening, and if you want the vaccine and have any heart history it would be worth talking to your GP about your vaccine choice, especially as AZ is readily available and does not have this side effect.
If you don’t want the vaccine, I don’t have a problem with that either, but life and travel will get difficult for you.

Ed McQuarrie talks the REAL History of Stocks and Bond performance.
We're taking my son to his Introduction to Auburn event at Auburn University.
we'll see you next week though!
In the meantime, a white paper I'm reading.
"This study validates...that the implementation of (China's) Five Year Plan was followed by a significant production expansion in the encouraged sectors of China. This expansion crowds out production in the same sectors in the US, leading to significant drops in both employment and investments and a notable increase in plant closures."
But it's TRUMP that started the trade war, eh?
sorry folks gotta move all this mulch by this weekend.
WE're preparing for my son Cavan's high school graduation party. So, it's a BIT hectic here to make sure everything is in place...
If it was me, I'd grill burgers and sit on coolers full of water. But apparently I'm not in charge. Who knew?
