You lucky ducky with no reaction in your arms? My arms were so sore by that evening and the next morning. But I did ice and had an Advil then I was fine. No side effects from any of the vaccines. But I always get a sore are with the DpT shot and that’s what both arms felt like afterwards. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I understand why babies get cranky.

Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry about the passing of your little cat. I know it was a while ago already, but it’s still a roller coaster of emotions when we lose a pet. It was nice of your sister to return her to you so she’s nearby. It took me a long time to open the bag to put my handsome golden, Riley with his former fur friends. That unconditional love is hard to lose!

Your sister is going through her own cancer journey. Ovarian cancer is not an easy one either so it might be nice for her to join a support group such as you did with the breast cancer and the BMT group. I know you really felt the benefit of being able to talk to those of us who have already had our BMTs and now you’re a huge support and lifeline for other newbies! I hope your sister continues to do will with her chemo and can stay in remission. I know you will be a super supporter for her whether she wants you to or not! 😉
