I got vaccinated yesterday in order to go on a once in a lifetime trip that I will save for a later thread, but I have a funny story I thought maybe some of you would get a kick out of.
So I'm at a local CVS and there is a group of 5 of us (random people) scheduled for the noon appointment time and we all are getting the one and done, J & J shot. Like cattle, they call each of us back behind a makeshift curtain next to the pharmacy inside CVS. They have 4 chairs sitting around the pharmacy that are used for the wait after the shot, which they tell you to hang out for 10- 15 minutes to make sure no one gets any wild adverse reactions.
Well, I was the last one they called in and I got the shot in the arm. No big deal, just feels like a bully in elementary school that would deck me in the arm. After the shot, I walk around the curtain and there is no chairs left so I'm standing in between two isles. Me and the other sheeple were all bullshitting amongst each other about the shot, yada yada yada.
Next thing I know, I feel my mouth start sweating like I have to throw up. In my head, I'm telling myself not to be a pansy and to suck it up. Just breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, you'll be fine. About 1 minute goes by of me fighting myself not to throw up and then my fingers started getting tingly and light, almost like my hands weren't there. It was that time I knew I was in trouble so I went to reach for the corner of the isle to hold on to something and the boom. Lights out.
Next thing I know I'm laying on the fucking floor of a CVS pharmacy staring at ceiling with a crazy asian nurse yelling "CAN YOU BREATHE???" I come to and respond, yes I can breathe and then she yelled "DO YOU NEED ME TO CALL FOR HELP?" and I responded, I don't know yet, give me a few to pull it together. Lol
I have never fainted in my entire life.... and my first time just so happened to be as soon as I got the Covid Vaccine in the middle of a CVS Pharmacy lol! I asked the nurse after, does this happen often? She said nope, you are the first here.
I'm all good today, no weird side effects. Just a hilarious story to share.
