Vaccines and Vodka don't go Together!

Daily Lesson:

The Daily Lesson is more of a Warning Label:

Don't drink Vodka the day after you get the Chicken Pox vaccine!

You heard right people, I drank Vodka, and NO I have never had the Chicken Pox's.  My Dad nor I, ever had the Chicken Pox's. My brother had them while we were on a family vacation as a child and still no pox's for me.  At the age of 30 someone finally decided to give me a shot to protect me from a potential deadly onset of Adult Chicken Pox's.

That little shot hurt like hell, but the Tetanus booster I got in the other arm took the prize! This little day trip of pain took place on Friday. Went to work then home and to the back porch naturally to drink wine. Fine as can be. Saturday's sequence of events went a little different. 

After a normal day or cleaning & family bonding, we ventured to a friends house to let the kids romp around and eat some homemade pizza. My arm now has two raised bumps, one at each injection site (this is normal) and my entire body was sensitive to touch. I ran into the bed post and almost convulsed it hurt so bad.

My arms felt like I had just worked out for hours in the gym ( Lord knows that isn't the reason ) and after a few whip cream vodka and orange soda cocktails, I started the fast decent into the downward spiral of sickness. You know your sick when someone's voice feels like little needles stabbing you one by one in your ear drum. Yes people, it was brutal. Next time I get immunized, I'm stickin' to beer.

Needless to say, we had a great time being with our friends and went I got home - I slept like a baby. The lesson is when your children do get the booster make sure they stay clear from the Vodka.

Let the 2 day Count down to the Road Trip Begin!
