wasn't unpleasant?!

what? So it was pleasant.

Not quite. I was expecting a queue and red tape and a swab shoved so high up my nose my eyes would water. Instead I got no queue, a silly bit of red tape and my eyes did not, in fact, water. Lucky me.

For a minor procedure tomorrow.

Tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck?

Colonoscopy.

Colonoscopy.

I had one two years ago (my mother had colon cancer). Need to go again this year. Turns out it wasn't as bad as I imagined. You're anesthetised anyway. The worst is the emptying your bowels the day before and not being able to eat.

That is my current disposition.

Why did you go?Just precautionary? Fuck I would be lying if I said I wasn't stressed. I have to start the evacuation treatment (PicoPrep) in 30 minutes.

People are pretty relaxed about it now.

I don't understand that. Wearing a mask, washing my hands regularly, and observing social distancing has become second nature to me.

A friend of mine who is a medical doctor had the J&J shot a while back, now has Covid. He looks rough.

He was with the 1st batch of health workers.

My mom just had the first shot of the Pfizer vaccine. Next one is in July.

My mother registered on day 1 of registration, but is still waiting. Two people from Beatty House were vaccinated yesterday. One more is waiting for her notification.

Hope your mom gets hers soon. My mom said it took forever - she registered a long time ago. Being in a retirement village helped speed it up though

My sister in law is in a retirement home that has had a few Covid cases. Not a single person has been vaccinated there.

They had quite a few cases at my mom's place a few months back. And they only got the vaccine now. But the Department of Health did it.
