She felt fine until she went to bed, she went to bed at 10 PM, she woke up at 1 AM so that would has been monday morning on unknown date, experienced she had 101 fever. She was not too worried.

She ended up taking Tylenol and put more heat on it and it was tolerable enough for her to report to work today for the first time since monday. That morning it was a very intense pain in the neck, one of those things that she was not anticipating it being that strong. It was still worth it she would still do it all over she was not complaining but she did want to log it in one of her co-workers said if you feel that it was that severe you should probably let them know because they want to know. She was a single mom so she was cooking dinner too. The vaccine card just said May2021 it does not said anything else, she was assuming that was the expiration.
