'auto-focus!"

We had to sit for 15 minutes after receiving our first dose of Moderna last week, just to be sure there were no side effects.

Second shot coming up, cataract surgery on second eye done yesterday, eye still adjusting so a little blurry. Wearing reader glasses for the first time. I thought, oh farts blurry vision?
Then the last sentence.



Got me good!

everything will probably be ok Friday. The things they put the geriatric folks through.

By Monday I felt like I was hit by a car every muscle in my body hurt .Today is Wednesday and all is good and getting ready to go on a walk .My wife didn’t have any soreness except for a sore arm at the injection site.

I'm getting my shot tomorrow morning, then planning on working a full day (from home) for the rest of the day.

made me start moving in the late afternoon. Feel ok now

I just got my first shot, Moderna, today, and have an appointment for 3/31 for my second shot. As many here have stated, I feel a whole lot better now I have my first shot, and know I will get my second shot at the end of month. I asked if the second show was a sure thing and was told yes it was.

Two weeks ago I was called to get a shot, but already and an appointment to take by father to his doctor, so I had to tell them I couldn't make it and to keep me on the list. It was a drive through and they could not confirm a second shot. I am glad I had to wait.

Everyone has their own sense of humor. . . some shouldn't

in the car at all times. I mean, I'm 75 years old. I have lots of spare glasses. Wherever I am, there's a spare pair nearby. It's preventive care.

Have mid range glasses, 2 pairs, that I wear one of all the time, plus distance glasses, both clear and tinted.

Tinted distance for driving, clear distance for my yearly vision tests. Rest of the time, the distant world can stay a bit blurry. Suits me fine!

So damn cheap once you wangle the optician's script out of his hands, so why not?

Got me!

conspiracy theory suckers on our friends / family lists to get them going ...

Thank god for the last sentence. Just got my first Vax at the VA yesterday. My daughter is ICU nurse and said second hits ya a little harder. Had me worried there. But had a great laugh.

this headline amusing

you scared me!!

Anybody seen my glasses?

I'm getting my second shot at the end of the month!

I even considered whether it was truly blur or my glasses are just so dated. I concluded it was both.

My mother just got the second shot and I was about to fucking lose my goddamn cool.

. . . In my case, it was because I had accidentally switched my left and right contact lenses, which are very different prescriptions!

Second: I am laughing my ass off

Awarded to any post that makes me laugh out loud.

Very funny

Took my glasses off the other day in the car to pull on my "t-shirt mask" and almost entered the grocery store without them!

Yes, cataract surgery can work that well.

until I need glasses?

Oops, wrong punchline.

All I needed to do was remove my pants. That's when the nurse told me it goes in your shoulder.

and Mr. other Johnson

That was very naughty of you!

You really did have me there for a second!

Ba Da Bing!

Seems like the threat of impending blindness has been following me around since puberty.

That vaccine makes you forget things!

Got me real good, though! Thanks for the laugh!

An oldie but goodie from SNL:

laugh.

I was thrilled to finally be able to sign up for my Moderna vaccine which is tomorrow. But now I’m getting nervous as I read about side effects. This post made me smile. 😀

I had my first Moderna shot last Friday and my only reaction was a slightly sore arm - and also a great deal of relief, took a long time for the vaccine to be available in my area of New York.

...I'm a little less amused than I would be were it not for anti-vaxxers. Some people, as difficult as it is to imagine, react only on the basis of titles.

Especially now. WTF is wrong with you?

Man those phlebotomists were good!

IDK how they do it, but they squeeze your arm firmly a certain way as the needle is going in and I couldn't feel it at any level whatsoever. Other people had the same experience. My wife didn't really believe she got her 1st vaccine when it happened, ask repeatedly if he was sure he gave her one and even went back after a couple minutes in the recovery area and asked yet again, lol. She got the same guy who gave her the first vaccine yesterday and it was he who remembered. She is such a baby around needles it's ridiculous. That and snakes.

While I only experienced a sore arm 2 days later the first time, I certainly feel the effects of this second vaccine which, so far is just a sore arm and overall ache not unlike the beginning stages of the flu. I hesitated to use the word malaise but that's really what it is, lol.

No nasal or loss of taste issues so far and I've avoided taking any NSAIDs under the theory that the mRNA is teaching my immune system to detect, react and kill any future COVID 19 I may run into. From what I've read, this feels bad is apparently a necessary part of the learning process? So I figure a day or five even feeling this way won't kill me. I'm retired but I feel for young families where both parents must work yet avoid COVID somehow. Hopefully with the Biden Admin now on the case and the new one shot vaccine available, they can get vaccinated much sooner.

Well done.

March 9th. Funny stuff by the way.
