AND Covid visits our house once again!

I knew it was coming, just didn't know when. At least it's not me.

Our house guest Dave just tested positive, so it's inevitable that Russet and I will sooner or later as he was standing next to us talking last night.

So far, he has a low fever and cold/flu symptoms. I told him to contact his doc to get paxlovid ordered, we'll see if he gets it done.

I'll be masking at work today. But Russet has a brutal three-day work shift starting with an 18 hour day tomorrow, which is really going to tax her immune system, add to the fact that she's on chemo, she's going to be a prime target. Fortunately all three of us were immunized within the last month, so fresh antibodies swimming around.

I don't know if it's true there, but Walgreens here does walk-ins for vaccinations, as does Albertsons.

I see the vaccination clinics at work run through next week.
That would put a week between my flu shot and the Covid shot. I might just get it that way.
I will be off next Thursday night and so I can be home after getting it in case of side effects. :)

There was a recent study that getting all vaccinations in the same arm is beneficial.  Apparently it builds up the lymph nodes on that side and they produce better antibodies or something?

I always get my shots in my left arm just because it's not my dominate arm. :)

nods and I tend to get my shots in my right arm for the same reason!  Also, I NEVER get two shots at the same time since I have a crashed immune system, seems like it would just be inviting trouble.

My system is okay that I know of but I just don't wanna take chances that the two won't care for each other. :o
