Happy First Day Of October!
My dear other half got his shingles shot after a story our son told him about someone he knows well, who had a bad dose of shingles, so badly that he now has lasting nerve damage and is in constant, permanent pain. Neither of us knew this was a possibility, though we know shingles can get pretty bad and we are at that age where it is recommended to get the shot.
That was enough to spur Gregg on. His doctor told him a while ago that he should get it done.
We went off to our local supermarket pharmacy yesterday. He had his flu and covid shots a couple of weeks ago at his last doctor appointment. I was getting further behind, so today was the day to get mine.
The young lady who gave them was warm and friendly and put us at ease right away, just like the gentleman we saw the last time. She was so gentle we hardly felt anything. I will go back and get my shingles vaccination in a couple of weeks. Gregg also has to go back for another, this particular shot being given in two parts, due to our age we think, though that would be a good question to ask. We have also been told by our doctors to get a tetanus shot. The year is whipping right along, and we are slowly taking care of things.
I hope your week is going well. Thanks for stopping by.
