This will not be profound. I want to take this post to provide both updates and downdates.
First off, from everything I have read there is no added risk for persons with dementia getting a flu shot. This is how rumors get started.
I received the first of a 2-shot vaccination today at the Birmingham airport in a rainstorm that was intermittently heavy.
(I successfully resisted booking a flight to Cancun while I was at the soggy airport.)
My arm hurts a teeny from the shot.
I think the workers out there standing in a parking lot did a great job of making it as efficient as possible. Although there was a steady stream of cars, there was virtually no wait except for the 15-minute hold to make sure there was not a reaction from the shot.
I had made an appointment for the shot. I go back in three weeks for the final shot. My vaccination was the Pfizer brand. I felt a little drowsy after lunch, but that’s not all that unusual. I’ll keep you posted.
Countdown update
If you’ve noticed I have cut into my 678 countdown number of albums substantially recently with multiple albums by Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart and Lou Reed.
Remember the number next to the artists’ names in the title of the post represents where that particular album is in descending order moving toward zero.
Right now I’m at 150.
I’ve been swimming in a river of R’s. I thought I had squeezed the last drop of R’s weeks ago and, and so started on my S’s. But the R’s kept popping up, a stash here and a pile here. There R a lot of R’s. So, I’m working on both S’s and R’s as a group. The T’s promise to be almost as abundant as the R’s and S.
Health update
My health has been overall not bad. Slight increase in tremors on some days — makes it hard to work the keyboard. Hallucinations have been practically nonexistence since the new medication. I believe too, my strategy of eating right and light, exercise (nothing major. I walk, ride an indoor bike when I can’t walk) and keeping my mind stimulated by doing this blog and reading.
I still get inquiries about the ‘hallucination’ post. It is still here on MyVinylCountdown.com. You can scroll down the website or use the search button.
