Sitting on My Hands

 

After all the teeth-gnashing, hair-pulling frustration we went through to find Greg a vaccine appointment a month ago, my process seemed almost anti-climactic: I put myself on every available waiting list on the day I became eligible and then forced myself to sit on my hands. Two days later, I was invited to make an appointment. Dose No. 1 is tomorrow.

Meanwhile, my right hand continues its workout, now with a brush, relieved that it won’t be much longer than three weeks: As soon as I schedule the second dose, this series will have an end date.


April Foot's Day!

  1. Will you end your series 14 days after your second dose when your full immunity has had time to develop?

    1. No -- it ends the day of the second dose. "Full" immunity doesn't really exist, and maximum immunity is not a concrete date. For the purpose of this project, I want something concrete, which the second dose symbolizes.

  2. Yay to a projected end to your project! I agree that full immunity doesn't really exist, but I feel much safer knowing I have both vaccines.

    1. Happy for you, Joan! And I will be breathing a lot easier in a few weeks!
