Rellik Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Prednisone suppresses the immune system. So either I get the shot, and my body does not make antibodies. Or some other Bacteria kills me because while I'm 61, my immune system is that of an 80yo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three times in the past year he has had to spend several weeks in the hospital (2 of those life threatening) and I have not been allowed to see him face to face. I don't care if Covid is or is not bull****, I don't care if the vaccine is or is not bull****...I just want to see my dad. Mrs. BK and I will be getting our first one a week from Friday. I want you to see your dad, BK. My 92 YO step-dad has been locked up in assisted living since last summer. We can only visit at the window, and we're both hard of hearing so talking on the phone is a PITA. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the amputation, subsequent doctor visits, and a bout of Covid that damn took his life, he was in isolation for almost 10 months. 10 months locked up like a criminal. And just like if he was a criminal, we could only see each other through a pane of glass. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks, a lot. hang in there, I’m home with a O2 tube and everybody is treating me like glass (26 pounds lighter) but I can hug them. it’s coming, be strong for all of them . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 good news for you, I hope soon. Nursing home residents can get hugs again, feds say WASHINGTON (AP) — Nursing home residents vaccinated against COVID-19 can get hugs again from their loved ones, and indoor visits may be allowed for all residents, the government said Wednesday in a step toward pre-pandemic normalcy. The policy guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, comes as coronavirus cases and deaths among nursing home residents have plummeted in recent weeks at the same time that vaccination accelerated. People living in long-term care facilities have borne a cruel toll from the pandemic. They represent about 1% of the U.S. population, but account for 1 in 3 deaths, according to the COVID Tracking Project. https://apnews.com/article/politics-coronavirus-pandemic-medicaid-nursing-homes-medicare-6095d595d51ff44e86f17300858c9516 . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglock Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Possible Public Service Announcement: I haven't been able to carry out a conversation on a telephone since they went wireless. Something about the digital signal, a bit of delay, and my hearing deteriorating. I've used iPhone models as my digital phone for years. So about a year ago I bought a pair of those AirPod Pro's. Somehow (not by design, I just happened to be wearing them when a call came in) I used them while receiving a phone call. AMAZING difference (for me). It can actually seem like I'm in a real conversation with a distant person, for a change. It's so different that when my children call they text first, advising me to put my AirPods in. I absolutely recommend them. Only down side is the cost. They aren't cheap. But they are cheaper than hearing aids. PSA is now over. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Great news! Just spoke to my sister and she said my stepdad can go out with friends and relatives now. The line of folks wanting to take him out to lunch is six deep and counting. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 My company is now offering paid time off to get the shot, and a free vacation day for those who "volunteer".

Shouldn't people be fighting to get a place in line? and why are they not administering it 24x7? They have over $1 trillion left from the first passage and much more fro the second.... Just wondering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 My wife got her second yeaterday, I got my first the same day. Now I'm supposed to get a covid test today but my appointments are running up to two a day and I missed my covid test today. it's prior to my cataract surgery in a few days. I have so many appointments scheduled for up to two a day I'm getting lost and missing one. My wife got her second the day I got my first, two hours after I got a steroid shot in my shoulder for bursitis. It's getting so messed up I don't know from day to day what's needed to go to the next one. I need the cataract surgery bad since I'm getting to where I have no contrast in my vision. Everything is too white or too black. I talked to my doctor when I got my steroid shot and told him I just didn't give a **** anymore about what shots I was getting, I just wanted to be able to walk into the eye surgery and go back for the other eye and piss on the virus! I told him my wife of 62 years had gotten flu every year and many time she went into the hospital it was so bad. I took care of her all these years and I never caught the flu. I consider the covid another version of the flu and the only reason I will get shots for it is because the wife won't if I don't. I don't believe I will get covid since it's a version of influenza and he agreed with me! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one I'm considering getting. Let me know if you die from it. Dr. Campbell just covered the efficacy details from the trials on the JnJ one a couple days ago since it's about to roll out to the EU: First 8 minutes of this video: Vaccine side effects - YouTube (He talks slow, so I usually bump it up to 1.25x or 1.5x speed). Safe travels and may God bless the family member(s) in need! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago I was to the point of being rolled into the surgical suite when my blood pressure spiked. They got me unhooked and out of that building really fast.

Batesmotel Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I got the J&J single shot to day through a drive up. I feel fine. About as painful as a flu shot. I was supposed to drive to a waiting area and sit for 20 minutes before leaving. I waited until the lady was telling the next guy to go where I was and wait 20 minutes then I drove off. Someone yelled at me. Should I expect a visit from the Vax Cops? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
