Making Pies and Visiting

My son likes pies so this morning I made him a cherry pie and a chocolate peanutbutter pie. My daughter in law came by this afternoon to pick them up. She had food to prepare for a baby shower she’s attending tomorrow. She’d been out shopping and buying gifts today.
She brought me a book she thought I would like and I sent a book with her I thought she and my son would like. She didn’t have long to stay but we had time for a good chat. She had a shingles shot a few days ago. Her arm is still swollen and sore. I don’t remember that I had a painful arm from my shingles injection. Did any of you have a bad reaction to a shingles shot?
The picture is my grandchildren.

@Treborika Shingles are itchy blisters breaking out on your body. Anyone who has chickenpox is subject to shingles.

That is a very lovely pic of your grandchildren Ruby
So cute and growing up.
Oh sorry to hear of your daughter in laws swollen arm after the shot.
Nice pies you made.
They will love those.
Glad you get along as well and had a nice visit even if it was short.
Hope they like the book and you like the book too.

I'm reading my library books that must go back on the 22nd. I'll read the gifted one when I don't have a library book. I have shelves of books I haven't read. If anything happens that I can't go to the librry. I'll still have books to read.

@RebeccasFarm I was home bound after the wreck and I had plenty of books. Now I usually trade books as I read them. Some books I never get rid of.

My arm swelled up and was very sore for three days after my first shingles shot. The second shot didn't affect me as much.
I hope you're having a good evening.

@RubyHawk Some people aren't affected by shots. I usually have swelling at the site of the injection and may have an upset stomach after a shot.

@DaddyEvil Vaccinations do effect people in different ways. They give me no trouble but that could change the next time I get a shot.

I don't recall a bad reaction to that shot either, but it has been a while.

@RubyHawk I thought there was only one needed.

@RubyHawk They recommend two shingles shots now, a month apart.

@Treborika Shingles are painful. You don’t want to suffer them.

The chocolate peanut butter pie sounds heavenly! Glad you had a nice visit (although brief) with your DIL.
I didn't have a bad reaction to my first shingles shot, although my arm was pretty sore. But my second shot came on the heels of my second Covid shot, and although I tried to push it back as long as I could but still stay within the acceptable window, my second shingles shot was extremely painful and I could hardly lift or move my arm for several days afterward. I think it had something to do with the fact that I got it not too long after my Covid shot.

@RubyHawk That could be the case, since I experienced the same thing.

@moffittjc I told her about your experience so that relieved her worries a bit. Her arm is still swollen and sore. She said she had a covid shot few days before the shingles shot.

I've never had a reaction to any vaccines other than a very sore arm. I'm glad your DIL got the shot. Shingles suck! Great picture. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. P.S. The pies sound terrific!!!!

I dislike vaccination. I even rejected the covid 19 vaccine

@Treborika I don’t like injections but I get mine to try to avoid sickness.

You have some great looking grandchildren there. You have done well. I imagine that's in your apartment? Rather nice. Not what I would have expected.
As for shingles, I have never had a shot. I may be too young to worry about it? I will be 50 in June.

@shaggin Yes, I did get shingles after the vaccination but it had been years since I had it and my case of shingles was much lighter since I'd had the shot. I don't know why I've hesitated to get mine again. I sure don't want to have the shingles again

I have heard of people having a bad reaction to the shingles shot, but I did not seem to. I had a bad reaction to my second pneumonia shot, though. Doctor said a strong reaction is usually an indication of good immunity developing. Your pies sound great.

Those were happy moments you spent with your daughter-in-law
We never had shingles vaccines here.
