System not working exactly as planned

This letter arrived in the post yesterday, Feb 11th, dated Feb 5th, inviting Mum to have her first Covid Jab on the 4th. I'm sure those dates are arse about face, but not complaining because Mum and I did have our jabs on that date. I'm just hoping we're down in the system as having had them so we get the offer of a second one!

 

Good News on the Covid19 vaccination front

So, I got a phone call yesterday from the local health board to make an appointment for someone to come out and give Mum her 1st Covid jab. I say appointment. It was actually a sometime between 9 and 5 timeslot. I asked about me getting one at the same time, and was told it was likely to happen but they couldn't guarantee it.

Hey presto, the lady nurse arrived just before 1pm. I did have to go to the end of the drive and wave her in, despite giving instructions that number 11 is next to number 6. Both Mum and I thus got our 1st Astra-Zeneca jabs. It came as a bit of a shock to Mum, as she'd forgotten that she was going to have a jab, but at least she didn't swear when the needle went in.

So now I'm ready to go - absolutely nowhere!!

How is it the end of January already?

So, we've reached the end of January 2021, and, to be honest, it doesn't seem any different to the shitshow that was 2020. I've not had my Covid19 vaccine yet. As a 59 year old, I'm in the 8th of 9 cohorts to get the vaccine first. However, I've just registered as a temporary patient with Mum's doctor, and told them my status as Mum's full time carer, so I'm hoping that should bump me up the priority list a bit. Not that I can go anywhere once I've got it. Wales is still in full lock-down, as is the rest of the UK and I can't leave Mum for more than about an hour due to her waterworks. Enough said on that topic.

Work on updating my website continues, including getting this blog up and running. I'm actually watching a YouTube tutorial on how to use Blogger, which has been quite useful. If you can see this, I've successfully got to the Publish bit!😀
