Eventful night
One of my closest colleagues at work, who had taken the AstraZeneca jab earlier (out of the blue and totally unexpected) - well, he took his second shot yesterday. And went to work. But this time it didn't go so well.
He complained about weakness, headaches and fever, and a friend told me that he didn't look so good. Apparently the "mobile traffic central" at our subway, drove him home. I wrote him an sms, and was very serious with him - urged him not to neglect his symptoms - and go immediately to the hospital. Given that he is/has been pretty well informed about the dark side of the genetic jabs... But with those symptoms, the likelihood of blood clotting is mighty high - and no reason to neglect them. Such as the typical "waiting until it get's better" - because if there is damage inside (serious blood clotting going on), it can continue while you get "better", until you suddenly crash. But then the damages are often severe. I told him tell them your suspicions of blood clotting. Better early, than too late. The guy is a husband and a father to 5 children...
He did not reply.
A sudden angry wasp
In the morning in the end of my duty, as I was leaving over the train to the next driver - I told her about our colleague gotten bad after the jab. All of the sudden, it was like an angry wasp exploding in my face - "I don't wanna hear anything from you, absolutely nothing. My mom got Covid, and got sick - I know how dangerous the disease it. And I got the first shot of the vaccine, so that !!"
I just stared at her, and wondered if she still was in possession with all the screws in the right place...
A new connection with a neighbor
As I almost had reached home - I met a neighbor and her dog "Pluto". The wonderful thing with her is - that despite I lived there for 11 years, we only used to say hi, and bye (which took several years) But as of lately, we have suddenly long conversations - sometimes a half hour - just like that. Either she standing on the balcony and me looking up - or we meet by accident when she goes out with the dog.
Beautiful, refreshing meetings ! You know, without bull or masks. This straight-ness in communication is so... like fresh air to me. A lady who is clear minded of what is going on, we have started share our impressions. She has her head straight on, is not afraid, and does not back off in conflict when other people try to attack her (you know like health authorities / pretty tyrants trying to pull off their ugly twists) So, she told me a few things out of her life and profession within schools - and boy, it was sooo un-swedish and courageous. By being this admirable lady, who dares to say "stop", telling people when things are not ok as damages are about to unfold on the school kids... calling in meetings, getting workers fired, who spray around their aspetos-like dust openly in schools while working, and saying "Oh, the kids are fine"
while they started to get ill... such things, you know. It does impress me, simply because I rarely meet people that are like that here in Sweden.
I told her, how wonderful it was to meet meet and talk with her. How good it felt for the soul, and for the heart - and that I was happy about doing what we do. So, we introduced each other by our names.
Ah, what a wonderful lady.
Some things change. Other things never change.
