I did get my covid shot last Friday. I had to drive about 2-1/2 hours up near the Canadian border to the small town of Canton, where my friend Al's parents live. Knowing them is how I got my vaccination appointment (see last Wednesday's post).
The vaccination itself, given by the pharmacist at Walgreen's, was easy-peasy. The shot itself was painless. I felt comfortable not waiting around for fifteen minutes to see if there were any immediate side effects - and there weren't.
I woke up next day with a sore shoulder where the injection was given. It was gone by Sunday evening. No other side effects were noticed, and the sore shoulder wasn't too bad, nor too long-lasting.
The appointment for the next shot (Moderna vaccine, by the way) is exactly four weeks and one hour after the first. I'll make the drive enthusiastically, knowing it is an important step bringing me closer to normalcy.
And, lately, I am feeling a real yearning for a little normal human interaction and contact. Especially contact. Like so many, I am touch-deprived.

Luckily, tomorrow I have an appointment for a three-month checkup with my primary care guy, and I'm looking forward to it - I like him. And I may get in a visit or two.
I am so grateful for the advantages bestowed on me that allow me to stay alive and healthy.
