@loribmt, @gingerw. The Covid vaccination team arrived at our assisted living place on Friday a.m. for our booster shots of Moderna. Each of us got a letter showing our designated vaccination time. My time was 11:50 a.m. I arrived at the vaccination site in our library at 11:35 a.m. only to find the place empty! I was told the team left half an hour before. They FORGOT me!! Our Manager suggested I go downtown to the vaccination centre and get my shot by myself, in a taxi. In my current weak and sickly condition I told her that would be an impossible feat for me to attempt. Long story short, the Manager drove me to the site. Wrong place. Drove to the second suggested site. Not there either. Finally found it and joined about 30 other people in various stages of getting their jab. Waited about an hour, sitting on my walker, and finally got my booster shot. I could never have done that on my own! Being "clinically extremely vulnerable with respect to Covid 19" as per a letter I received from the Provincial Public Health Officer, it even now worries me that I spent such a long time with so many people, some of whom were there for their first shot.
I know I have a lot of things I could die from but I sure don't want to die from Covid 19! (Such a worry wort I can be!) I'm over it now. Lol.
Anyway, I'm happy I got my booster!! (although the Manager did admit it was her mistake. I had my flu shot the week before and she got mixed up.) I gave her a nice handmade card of thanks and told her she had redeemed herself and saved the day. 😊 I apologize for this long diatribe!! I have no one to vent to here. 🤣 All is well. Warm wishes to all. Laurie

Oh my gosh, Laurie!! How could YOU possibly ever be forgotten. 😘
What a hassle that was for you! Well, I’m glad you finally got the booster and your manager was nice enough to help you out in that regard. Aw, I can imagine you’re concerned about exposure. But if you stayed fairly distanced and wore your mask, you’ll be good, my dear.
Hah, being a worry wort isn’t all bad…it keeps you healthy! Hugs!!!
@artist01 I'm so happy that you did finally get your booster despite the errors. That was terrible that they forgot you! Hopefully the precautions you took while waiting for the shot will have prevented you from getting any Covid germs.
In the spirit of this group, outside of my window the trees seem to be dying without having had much color. This has seemed to be a dismal year for foliage here in NH. I walked at my favorite place yesterday, a "rail trail" and this was the foliage - not spectacular but OK. I read in the local news though that we will get better foliage, this year's weather has caused it to be later than typical. I am hoping that is right. It's so glorious to see the reds and oranges here.
I added photos but for some reason they are not showing up!

No worries, we're always here to listen. What a comedy of errors. So glad the manager made it work! That is definitely another example of our caregivers commitment to their work.
