Ouch!

So we've had major flooding along with water/sewage breaks and I've dealt with the flood waters, including the sewage water in our condo's storage locker. Following Dr's advice I went today and got some vaccines. Tetanus since it's been 13 yrs, and Hep A/B as well. One in each arm. And now both arms are quite sore, and I don't like it! x(

Guess no upper body work for me! ;-)

I'm sorry to hear of your sore arms, but you did a good thing. Very smart!

How are things going? Any progress on the house clean up?

If you do decide to do upper body, I recommend that "Wine Cooler Workout" mentioned in a previous thread.

Poor Amy! I just had a tetanus shot & you're right, you will not want to do an UB workout for a couple of days after--that sucker hurts! And the sewage water.........OMG.......forget the wine cooler workout. I'm recommending something more hardcore, like the tequila workout.

Well, I just finished a delicious homemade iced mocha workout. :9 But I think I may be able to manage another workout--what can I say, I'm disciplined like that!

I know Laura, it's quite a boo-boo. But, I suppose neither of us will get lockjaw. Which is good, because what would happen if we couldn't speak? I know the world depends upon my ability to express my many opinions! }(

Hmmm...a tequila workout. Yeah, I totally deserve it! ;-)

Ouchy!

The first time I got a tetanus shot, the doc didn't ask me which arm I wanted it in, and I had no idea what the consequences would be, so he gave it to me in the right arm (my dominant arm). Then, that night, I went out with a Puerto Rican friend of mine, and she kept touching me on the arm (Latinos/as can be very touchy). Needless to say, I was hurtin'!

Ever since that time, I make sure to catch the doc before the shot and tell him/her to put it in the left arm.


Amy: with your run of bad stuff happening, I'm sure some good will come along soon (let's hope!)

Sewage water...eeew! I hope your stored items are washable (can be disinfected!).

I got my tetanus/pertussis shot last Thursday and man my arm hurt. Today is the first day it hasn't. I thought I was just being a whimp.

The house cleanup is going, but it's slow. The sellers are consistently working on it, but we got an incredible 11 inches of rain in a few hours, so while the ground is still saturated it won't happen quickly. Which is too bad. We are hoping we can get the basement back to the way it was, without too much mold/mildew and other damage.

I was pretty down about it, but now I'm trying to work on a more positive attitude, because it really could be much much worse and I know there are many people who lost everything.

Amy - I know your arms will get better soon but am sending <<< house get better quickly >>> vibes too.

So glad to hear you are thinking in a positive spirit about the whole thing. My sympathy goes out to all of you as I listen to the news day after day about how things are getting better at such a snail's pace.

We are always here if you need to vent.

That or obviously some here have some excellent workout ideas for you to try when you can't do your usual Cathe DVD's.}(

Still pretty sore today. Actually the tetanus arm is probably sorer. DH accidentally patted that arm a few times and I yelped both times. I think he may remember now not to do that! DH is an enormous football-player looking guy so a pat from him is probably a like punch from someone else. Ouch!

Thanks to the others who responded to my little whine. I will certainly take those "house get better quickly" vibes. We are all so sick of this situation. x(

I just feel this need to hug you!
