My Covid shot was scheduled for tomorrow. It's been delayed, because of the weather. They'll let me know when. Thing is, I have a Covid test Sunday, a 2nd cataract operation Tuesday, an eye surgery follow-up on Wednesday and a physical the following Monday.

I GOT IT!....the first shot, I mean. Then, last night I learned that the effectiveness of this shot is 90% after the first one. They're not sure how long it lasts, and that may have something to do with the suggestion to take the 2nd one.
It‘s certainly a relief. I‘m relieved my 92-year-old mother got her first shot yesterday. In her case, the effectiveness is probably reduced as she takes a cortison medication (immune suppression), but hopefully still good enough.

The wife and I finally got our first shots yesterday. While thankful to get them, it was an unholy scene of desperate old folks waiting two hours past their allotted time. This was a drive through with hundreds of cars jammed up on all roads leading to the grounds containing two stations. I understand that walk in venues in large conference centers run much smoother.
So much for the rant, just grateful it is over until the second shot is due in 27 days.

Yippee!!! After months of trying to get an appt for the vaccine (and being jealous of you guys that got it ), I finally got an appt. for tomorrow. No apptl, no registration, just "can you come in tomorrow". It's a little remote (rural) so I suspect that's the reason they had openings....who cares. It's the Moderna one but I don't really care (kinda wish I could have gotten that new 1-shot J&J one but hey....I'm happy.
Soooo, soon I should be able to make Capt. Russ buy me lunch (he got his first recently too.....and if Larry comes down this way.. ).
