Got my second Moderna shot Monday morning, and I'm trying to figure out whether today, Thursday morning, is the third or fourth day. So far, the side effects have been mild. Had a bit of soreness at the injection site but that has mostly faded away and I did feel lethargic and still do, but so far no fever, headaches, nausea, et cetera. I did have some pain in my right toe, but I attribute that to a gazelle-like move I made in the kitchen yesterday when I banged it into the bottom of a cabinet. And the scratch on my hand resulted from a fight I had with one of the cats, who demanded I give up the last bite of a tunafish
sandwich. Not all my luck has been bad, though. I did come across a two pound bag of frozen lobster claws for $19 at the local Harris Teeter. Bought these once before and they are great buy. Oh, and I also received a poorly written email from a pretty Slovakian lass of 26 who will "do anything" to come to America. Heck, I haven't dated a pretty girl that young since I was 47, so I forwarded her missive to my good buddy Donald J. Trump, aka "the former guy," who, if the rumors pan out, will be in the market for another European bride later this year, after Melancholia cashes in her pre-nup and heads back to her country of origin. But, as Melancholia's jacket declared, "I don't care, do you?" -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * I'd say you are finishing up your 3rd day After 72 hours have passed since the injection, you will enter your 4th day. That
makes sense. Thanks. Hopefully, no new symptoms today or tomorrow and then I presume I am "home-free" in terms of negative vaccination side effects. My second shot was delayed a week because of our "snow days" here. -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * Slow going here for the shots. They just started 80 year olds and up. Registration system failed the first hour. We are expecting the new version from India that is only 62% effective. Thank goodness they won't give it to the 65 and older crowd. Trouble is it will still be a month or two before my age group ponys up. Some provinces are delaying the 2nd shot to speed up the 1st shot for more people. Delaying the 2nd shot? Idiots. There is a stated timeframe for the 2nd shot. I've read that in the case of the Moderna vaccine the second dose is recommended 28 days after the first however the time between the firstand second dose can be extended to 48 days.I've also read that the first
Moderna and the first Pfizer dose raisesyour "immunity" to over 90 percent. The second dose only adds two orthree percent more, according to the testing. If true, it seems likeskipping the second dose making more vaccine available for others mightbe worth considering. I'd gladly forgo the second dose if Mrs.E.could receive her first instead.I am scheduled for the second Moderna dose next Saturday (March 13th)and am very fortunate that the VA made the vaccinations available.Most seniors in MA are still having a hard time scheduling anappointment to get the vaccine. Mrs.E. is on a waiting list attwo vaccination centers. Appointments are booked for over amonth in advance.-- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG.https://www.avg.com
Our friends from Plymouth got their first shots at two different
Publix. in Miami Monday. A 2 1/2 drive each way from their condo
on Little Hickory Island. We had dinner with them last night.
She's fine but she had to cut his meat for him because his arm is
still unusable. He had to cancel two golf dates this week.
Damn! Cancel *two* golf dates? ****, I'd rather go through a bout of Covid!
