    Getting my 1st Covid vaccination Tuesday

    Has anyone here had covid prior to getting the vaccine? Has anyone here had covid after the vaccine?

    .

    I forget the actual dates, but I was at Erie County Medical Center’s Emergency Room in Spring of 2020, then admitted for observation.  
     

    A couple of days after discharge I got a call from ECMC telling me I was COVID positive.  I was shocked, as I was totally asymptomatic.  I felt fine.

     

    They told me to self-quarantine for 14 days, which I did.  I was subsequently tested at Roswell Park Cancer Center, Buffalo General Hospital, and Harris Hill Physical Rehab Center - all tests were negative.  Buffalo General gave me the Janssen (J&J) 1-shot vaccine last month, with no side effects.

     

    (Roswell will likely swab me again this Tuesday, before they slice my thigh and snake a catheter up my hepatic artery to ablate a tumor.)

    I’ve been eligible from nearly the start because of my age, but uh.. my State hasn’t been very good about distribution. My 87 year old parents finally got their 1st vac 10 days ago..

     

    Anyway, I’m glad to get it. Daughter & Grandies are coming for Easter. Haven’t seen or hugged them in over a year. 

     

    Anyone else care to share if they’ve received a dose?

    Like you, I was eligible early on because I’m a cancer patient, but it took another slip&fall, and another fractured vertebrae to get me into Buffalo General, where they gave me the Janssen (J&J) vaccine, just before it was temporarily stopped.

     

    It’s been over a month, and no side effects.

     

    (I go under the knife at Roswell on Tuesday - another tumor ablation.)

    You mean Prince ‘Hairy’ like he’s got hairy legs???  Like Joe Biden’s????

     


     

    No, i don’r give a rat’s ass about Poor Little Rich Kid.

     

    Sometimes rich people are just stupid!

     

     

    (A far less ridiculous concept, but ridiculous none the less, is Pretty Boy John Mayer, with a safe deposit box full of $100K watches, sing B.B. King’s classic ‘Every Day I Have The Blues’)

     

    Really???  Why???

    Some of you know that, back in 2013, I was disgnosed with hepatic carcinoma (iiver cancer).  Well, oh

    boy, I don’t mind telling you that I was mighty pissed off - especially when I lost my brother to the disease in September of that year.  
     

    i went ‘away’ for a while; some of you wondered, “What happened to ‘The Senator’ ?”

     

    Well, Roswell Park was ‘fixing me’; they’ve continued fixing me.  They’ve done a fantastic job but, on February  12 (a month ago), they found a new tumor on the left lobe, and this became my anthem once again...

     

    PLEASE - AGAIN - NSFW

    Grateful Dead at their peak (imo), 1989

     

     


    Most concurr that The Dead’s best live show was on 5/8/77 at Cornell University’s Barton Hall.

    I cannot concurr, since I did not arrive at Cornell until the Fall of 1977.

     

    (Though I did see some great concerts while I was there - Linda Ronstadt, Wet Willie, The Pretenders, Warren Zevon, et al 😎)

     

    Living in San Francisco from 1990-1997 gave me plenty of opportunities to see Jerry Garcia in smaller intimate venues, like this one I did attend at SF’s Warfield Theater in 1991...

     

     

     

     

    When he died, it was like a President had passed...the city closed and was in mourning for a week.  That body looked a lot older than 53 years! 🍺

    Do You Have a Land Line?

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    .

    Huh?

     

    What in the world is this thing you call “land line”?

     

    Just kidding - I dumped my land line some years ago when I retired from the working world in 2012. I just don’t see the need to be available 24x7, nor to pay Verizon twice.
