First of all, healing from a surgery is a thing, that is the thing you have been doing. So good job on that. Second of all I'm so glad they worked out the thanksgiving thing out for you. I have eaten outside on porches in sub-freezing weather I can't tell you how many times over the last four years. I'm now most likely to get it from the people I live with who all work with small children though, so now I'm like, if you want to expose yourself to MY potential germs, that's on you I guess. (I still mask in grocery stores and doctor's offices and all those things, but I am usually one of the only people doing so. I don't really understand how everyone has taken this attitude of, we will all just regularly get a horrible disease with potential long term effects and that's fine, we don't need to do anything about that. ) I'm hoping to go get my booster this week - I left it a little later this year in hopes that the 3 month peak immunity actually covers the post-holiday January spike, unlike last year when I got covid for my first and only time for New Year's and then immediately followed it up with the flu in February. I want to get the Novovax because I hear it has less side effects - I tried to get it last year but it wasn't widely available and when I went to a place that said they had it the person giving the shots was not prepared to talk to me about what thing they were putting in my arm before I was in the chair and they had the bottle out and was just like, this is what we've got do you want it or not. :/ So I'm hoping this time goes better.
