Hey folks, how is everyone doing?

Sound off!

Hey!

I'm doing well. Still out of work recovering from hip/shoulder surgery but am making good progress. I ended up with a hand issue and saw a hand surgeon today but hopefully I'll avoid surgery there. I got a steroid injection today and will give it a month to work before I try another. While I was there I had a consult at the dermatologist as well. I have some new issues on my face from a genetic disorder I have that have been making me self conscious so I'm going to try a chemical peel. I've never done anything like it, so I'm hoping it will help. By the time I will be there unmasked my vaccine will be fully effective so it feels like it's an ok time to do it as well.

Nothing else exciting here, hoping we can get out a bit more when the weather warms up and I can start to use my arm and hand more.

I hope everyone else is doing well!

I'm glad you were able to get both your vaccines!

My mom is currently eligible (70, diabetes and hypertension) but she can't seem to find any appointments. Her doctor is useless, so she's pretty much on her own. I keep telling her, you wake up at 4 every night, why not jump online and find an appt?

I have been working on finding/booking appointments for my aunt. I have had the most luck with Walgreens but I have to log on multiple times per day. I just have to find a weekend appointment for my aunt so I couldn't take any of the available slots. Also Rite Aid in Kent.
