One shot down!
Mar. 25th, 2021 12:29 pmRick and I got our first vaccine today. We got Pfizer. So far I'm fine and so is he. The injection itself didn't hurt at all. Our next appointment is April 22. I read this morning that everyone over 18 can get a shot starting April 15. That's such a relief.
It's such a strange emotional experience. I wasn't worried about a reaction. I felt guilty for not having suffered anything tangible during this pandemic. I realize that's not really true, but my cousin and I were talking yesterday about how our extended family is untouched so far by all this tragedy. I barely know anyone who has been sick or lost a family member, yet 1 in 7 people have had COVID in El Paso and 1 in 12 have had it in Collin County where Plano is located. I guess I have to look at it all as a gift, especially living with an immune compromised son.
We had a great time on our short trip. The dog really enjoyed her time on the beach. A big lab wanted to be her friend, but she wasn't having it. We just hiked, walked on the beach, and enjoyed the house we rented. We didn't go out anywhere except to buy groceries and to have a pizza in Los Gatos on a restaurant patio on the way home yesterday. It's been a good birthday week for Rick. I wish I could put a picture here...
