Beverly and I received second dose on 2-15.   She was impacted more.  It hit her that evening.  Head ache, low fever, muscle pian lasted for 1 1/2 days.
I felt nothing except a little pain at the injection site until the next morning.  I slept until 3 pm.  Muscle pain, head ache, and just plain lethargic.  It's all gone now.  Happy to be on the road to immunity.

I had my first dose yesterday, Feb 10. The Pfizer.  Mar 10 for 2nd. I told the parking lot attendant, I want sun, blue skies and 60-70 temps that day.  A friend here laughed and asked if I was getting it in Florida. 

I hope to prove Paul wrong about his prediction of women and men responses to vaccine.  So Jack you are not helping!

Blessings from Ohio to wherever you are! I love you all!!!

My wife and I got our second Pfizer shots this past Wednesday (Feb 17) at 5pm and neither one of us had any side effects to speak of.  We ordered our weather in advance just like Gayle (primarily because that Wednesday was also a golf day in the morning), but the weather fell a bit short.....somewhat windy and a high of only about 60 degrees.....when will this brutal Tucson weather quit?  ;-)   

My brother in San Antonio is not faring as well.....rolling power outages and snow/ice STAYING around for awhile....not normal for SA.  But, he is doing OK.

My sister in law lives in Flower Mound Texas and sent quite a detailed review of the past week there. And she didn't have anythng nice to say about Ercot!

Sandra Holland (McHugh)

My husband and I received our second shot on Feb 18 and everting is great; did have a bit of arm pain with the first one.  Received the Pfizer brand at Greene County Health Dept.

I understand that they have changed the acronymn for the Texas council Gayle referenced....it is NOW called "ENCOT," which, of course, stands for Electric Non-reliability Council Of Texas.  Given that change, maybe we ought to give them a break and congratulate them on a job well done based on the NEW acronymn....  ;-)

We often traveled through west texas (before covid) and it is LOADED with massive wind turbine "ranches"....must be an interesting sight to see many of them iced-up and frozen.  There are a few places where one can get both pumping oil wells (the parrot pumps) and wind turbines in the same picture, which makes for an interesting contrast/compare tableau.  Need to check the box "all of the above" and maintain balance!  These "once in 500 years" events can happen at any time!  (Although this particular type of event is PROBABLY only going to happen in the winter months....).

I'm trying to figure out the huge electric bills people are getting.  How can you charge for no service and mismanagement? Unless your customers are going to pay the company's legal bills...?

John Robert (Jack) Stackman

Gayle, I think the huge power bills are likley due to people opting to buy power from a company that is not their distributor.  The sign up to but power from someone without reading the fine print.  The seller buys power on the spot market then resells it.  It is a mater of supply and demand.  It is a very ugly part of derugulation.

I need to proof read before hitting submit.

My sister in law lives in Texas. She does not paint a very pretty picture of the politics there over power etc.

H'lo, just an update to my recent vaccine-grumbly post. Though the appointments instrument crashed within a minute or so of opening  this past Wednesday, my daughter persisted and was able to get himself and me appointments for Tuesday next, with our second shots mid-April. What a relief, though it will be much safer once most people –I so hope- are inoculated. That said, I did order more masks, including for the kids and grandkids; we will be wearing those likely for at least a year, I suspect.

Thurman J. Lee

I will be getting my second shot this Friday.  There was a lot of discussion about possible side effects.  I have heard lately that one of the side effects of the second shot is a really strong craving for Margaritas.  Since I am havinng my second shot this Friday, I have "High Expectations".

AMEN to that Thurman. Make a pitcherful as that symptom can be a very strong one.

Kathy Lynn Goodman

Got my second shot yesterday.  It's been 24 hours and the only side effect is a slightly sore arm.  Well, except for this tequilla craving.  You up for it Thurman.  Just say where and when.

Edwin H. (Ned) Brubeck

I've had both shots of Pfizer thanks to the St. Louis Veterans Admin.  I had no side effects from either.  

Ruby Delores Perkins (Hillard)

I just watched the service for Dean. It was very moving. I feel for his family and shed a lot of tears. The pictures were wonderful. RIP Dean.

Karen Antenucci (ODell)

I watched Dean's memorial, also.  I was moving and the slide show really was great as well.  RIP Dean.

Norma Sue Henson (Carnes)

FYI Gayle fell last Monday and had to have a hip replacement. She is currently in rehab until the end of the month. I'm sure she would appreciate prayers. 

Have a smiley day and a great weekend!

Kathy Lynn Goodman

I just talked to Gayle.  She is doing well but it is slow going.   Between PT, OT, and daily care her days are pretty full and exhausting.   Frainklin Cty went purple this week so she is not sure what their new protocol will be but up until now it is one visitor a day for 1/2 hour.  This is, of course, really limiting. She wants to reach out to everyone but does not have the technology or the energy to do so on anything but a very limited basis right now.  She is being well cared for now and has a wonderful support group,  She has promised to try to let me know how she is doing and I will let you know.  Keep those prayers going out to her.  Kathy

Ruby Delores Perkins (Hillard)

Really happy your doing well Gail. Hope you make a fast and complete recovery. Love, Ruby

Michael H. Hart

Positive thoughts your way Gayle.  For blessings, peace, strength and a fighting spirit.  You are one of the anchors in keeping our class together over all the many years and you are very well respected and much appreciated.  You are loved by all.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I took a wheelchair walk this morning from the end of the hall to the other end with the reward of being at the vending machine! But more importantly strengthening my legs for a return to normal soon!

Hang in there Gayle.......you'll be back on the socker field any day now. 🤠

Gail,

     I'm so sorry about your fall, but glad to hear that the rehab is going well.  Hang in there, it will just be a memory before too long.
