This morning I see my urologist and learn the results of that last MRI.  I had my second panic attack last night, and I'm a bit weepy at the moment.  I've known several friends who have been through prostate cancer treatment and beat it, but I'll breathe easier when I know the actual state of things.

My mom and dad probably watched some of the old ones on TV when I was a kid, but Patton was my first one to watch on purpose, and at a theater. I was sort of dragged to it by a friend who was a little older than me, who had always felt a strong connection to his dad's participation in the war in Germany. Well, I ended up liking it -- the acting (it was my introduction to George C. Scott and very likely Karl Malden), the music, the scope, the color.

Interestingly (to me), it played its first run in the same fabulous suburban Cleveland theater where we saw Lawrence of Arabia in re-release for the first time in roughly that same year...followed by The Godfather which was my first time experiencing actual lines at a movie theater.

But I digress!

Patton
M*A*S*H
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon

And in more recent times, Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX

Although not a war movie aficionado as such, I'm sure I'm leaving out a few that I've really liked. I've also had Paths of Glory sitting here in a to-be-watched stack for the longest time.

Paul Kayanek IS Ronald Reagan in my non-political play, which deals with the star of such films as KNUTE ROCKNE: ALL AMERICAN, KINGS TOW, SANTA FE TRAIL and BEDTIME FOR BONZO before he ran for Governor of California.

I was wandering around Goodwill this morning....and found a nice Ashley accent chair to go in the TV/Dance room.....once my sister takes her yellow chair home (she declared she wanted it two years ago).

So now it is in the computer room where it does NOT match the carpet.

But it was only $19.99, with my 10% discount $17.99, so I didn't want it to get away.  When I walked down another aisle, another gentleman stopped to look at it....turned it upside down and then sat on it.  Then he walked away, so I moved in and took the customer tag......

I imagine he was surprised when he returned to the area.

The weather has been great the past few days.  Makes for good outdoor music classes!  All the shows are going well.  Doing a show now is so different.  Can't get the kids to understand that it's up to them to record their vocals, and there's a deadline for that to happen.  "I think I'll have time this weekend" - I'm like "No, when we are done here, get the vocal recording done".   Hopefully, we'll find a groove soon.

So it's different in every state, different in every city or region of every state (in some cases?), and different according to which HMO or other medical group you're in. Does that sound about right?

An acquaintance here in town posted on Facebook that she finally found an appointment down in Stamford CT. I asked her why she'd be going all that way, since I'd just used the local hospital that's four miles away (from her, too). She replied that they (whoever "they" were) had given her a choice between Stamford and a couple of other distant towns, and she just chose that one. No other info. (Typical Facebook response, I must say, and I must also say that she's probably not the brightest bulb in the bunch in the first place. So yeah, typical FB response.)

So why then did MY "they" provide me with a link that got me right in, right here in town? I just don't get it.

We feel extremely lucky to have been able to get appointments, and the numerous people Keith helped continue to thank him.

Our country received fewer vaccinations per person compared to other counties in the state. 

Spokane County and Clark County are about the same size — 530,000 people to about 500,000. By Week last week Spokane County had received approximately 50% more vaccinations than Clark County received.

Bruce I apologize for suggesting CSUN.  I forgot they are now only doing 2nd vaccinations.

That bugs me that a place would only give 2nd vaccinations.  It would be so much easier that when you make your appointment to be vaccinated, you choose 2 days, 1 for each shot.  Or if you do a walk-up, you make an appointment for the second shot right then and there.  It saddens me that they are making this process difficult for some people - the people that really need to be vaccinated.  <end of rant>

I apologize, the second vaccinations were for those who received their first vaccination at that location.

Gotcha - but one wonders if stuff like that is going on

I wonder if the radiation treatment would consist of the implanting of "seeds", which is the procedure a friend of mine went through several years ago. He said he walked around like a duck for a few days, but all was well after that.

Two of my friends did the seed thing as well and they are fine now

Fantastic.  What site did you use to book it?

I like that you are already booked for your second appointment, plus by the number of days you know you will be getting the Moderna vaccine.

Keith & I had Moderna.  I know many people who have had it without side effects. 

First shot I had a sore arm which really wasn't a big deal.  The suggestion is to get it in the opposite side you sleep on, if you sleep on your side.  I of course avoid all shots in my right arm.  Oh, and I slept great that first night.

First shot for Keith was a bit more of a sore arm.  That night a low grade fever, nothing really bad.  He also had a mild headache.  The problem with headaches is knowing if it is just the weather or due to the shot. 
Title: Re: THE FINAL PROOF
Post by: Jane on February 25, 2021, 05:55:09 PM
Second shot was basically the same for Keith.  His mild headache lasted longer, his arm hurt less though he still get a red arm that looked worse than it felt.

Second dose for me bothered my arm less.  Chills and low grade fever the first night which were not a big deal and gone by morning.  A worse than usual migraine the next day and I didn't feel great.  All in all it really was not bad and nothing compared to covid unless you are lucky and asymptomatic. 

As Keith reminded me, they only last 24-48 hours.  We still worked out and we still functioned.
Title: Re: THE FINAL PROOF
Post by: Jane on February 25, 2021, 05:59:36 PM
Two weeks after your second vaccinations, if you are exposed to covid, the quarantine time is maybe a couple of days vs 14 days.  There may be other advantages if you can show you have been vaccinated.  Right now they deal with travel but there might be other work related ways down the road.

Our country received fewer vaccinations per person compared to other counties in the state. 

Spokane County and Clark County are about the same size — 530,000 people to about 500,000. By Week last week Spokane County had received approximately 50% more vaccinations than Clark County received.
