Thanks Greg! So far the pacemaker is working well, have my follow-up Friday. That clears me for surgery but that got pushed back to mid September there's another patient much more critical than I am so I gave up my original surgery date.Mike I Hope you are doing better.
I didn't want to turn this into a vax/anti-vax thread. I don't see what there is "to own" as even the IV nurse who had been vaxed still contracted Covid and many others are. Now I did get lazy with my mask wearing and yes, that's on me and I will go back to wearing them.
Hilarious that Covid vaccine is where society decided to draw the line for people to be accountable, and most are so proud to virtue signal. Alcohol, fast food and tobacco each kill more every year than Coivd has in it's career, but alcohol is considered a staple of life these days. We have a society with 30% collecting government hand-outs. Personal bankruptcy is an acceptable financial plan, and kids can graduate high school without being able to read or do basic math, but crucify anyone not willing to take and experimental drug to prevent a virus of 2% infection rate and about 2% of those are fatal.
Especially in your car driving alone on a rural road with not another car in sightDon't forget to wear a mask from now on.
I like this one.
Now go wash your hands.
Why myself or my Mom did not get it who knows why. Please ware your masks and get vaccinated!!!!!!!!
Mark, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I know this has been hard. God bless you and your family.We are so glad to have you back Damper Dave. Maybe not 100% yet but you have a strong will and will get there. I lost my father to Covid a year ago April when they really didn't know squawk about COVID. He went to a hospital and after 5 hours in emergency room they let him go home. He had all the symptoms. I was there the whole time and they gave him Mucinex and said go home. I was with him the whole time. My Mom called two day later and said Dad was burning up still. I said call an ambulance and take him to a different hospital my preference. I never got to see him after that.
God bless Dave!

There is a doctor at work that has been on me about getting the vaccine. I told him I might consider it at the end of the year when more is known about possible effects. During that time I observed family and co-workers that had been vaccinated. When the Delta variant started increasing, I began seriously researching information on each vaccine. I recently saw the same doctor who, once again, asked me if i had gotten the shot. I told him that since I had observed all of them that had it, and not one had grown three heads
I would probably get it. I received my J&J vaccine August 4th. I did feel like I had the flu for 1 1/2 days, otherwise I feel great. I do believe in doing things naturally when able though. I also take no medications.

Before the most famous Doctor says that vaccine is in the back of the boxcar, time will tell
and now it is telling us that this thread is done with welcoming Dave back.
That is the biggest hurdle I had to get over. We're basically guinea pigs everytime we get a shot. But this one was develped quite fast, and it did bother me a bit. The wife and I aren't getting any younger, but thank God we are still healthy. We finally decided to leave it up to our Doctor who we trust, and she advised we take the shot. I guess it's one of those toss ups, don't take it and risk your life. Or take it, and risk your life 10-15 years down the road from some stupid side affect that causes you to grow another head.
Oh well, life is full of risk. Thankfully my dear old Dad did his best to instill some common sense in my big ol' dumb head. And common sense will go a long way in keeping us safe.
I had the shots. Not a big deal. Just a little headache is all.There is a doctor at work that has been on me about getting the vaccine.

Take care of yourselves. Educate yourselves. And do what you feel is best for you regarding the vaccine. (Hopefully, ya’ll won’t have to deal with three Tracy Bowmans - time will tell!
