 Well .... I survived.  Actually didn't feel a thing.

Mt. Sinai Hospital has the greatest staff.  Really nice people!  Got all my questions and concerns answered / addressed.  

Back in three weeks for #2.

I had my second shot almost 3 weeks ago. My arm hurt for a couple of days. No sickness at all from either shot.

Quite a few years ago, my doc's asst suggested I exercise after a  flu shot to relieve / eliminate ache.  

I had some 3 lb weights that I used when I broke my arm even more years ago ... just a couple of "lifts" with the weight helped after flu shots.

The "Vaxxer" suggested the same thing today - and I still have the weights.  I'm right handed and had the shot in my right arm hoping that normal right arm use prevents issues.   And --- take Tylenol or lightly apply ice pack.

What they did at Mt. Sinai - rooms were set aside where we were taken after shot.   We were checked in with the time - and when the 15 minutes were up - they came to check on us ... and then took us to the nurse who made the followup appt for #2.

There was an allergist on duty just in case anyone had any adverse reaction.

Gotta tell you - before and after shots - they were very professional, and very organized.
