Just came back from getting the RSV vaccine. The pharmacist said at the moment it's a one-and done immunization, but she expects changes to that any day now, as the data is processed.
Our doctor isn't convinced we should get the RSV shot even though we are both over 65 now. He said if we had underlying conditions he would but we are both relatively healthy and active.

I plan to get the RSV vaccine as soon as I can. I have congestive heart failure and the therapists in the rehab facility leave me huffing and puffing.

Ed--Wife likes McDonald's oatmeal, and I like their big breakfast. But the nearest one has messed up orders more times than get it right. Stopped using the online ordering and the drive thru, but even going inside, at least I can get it fixed there. Had to talk to manager one time and she didn't look old enough to buy beer. SIL getting cancer treatment was a manager at McDonald's in the DFW area. She said she didn't tolerate that but understand how hard it is to get workers. If we need a takeout breakfast, we go to a nearby Mexican restaurant. Actually, some businesses tell employees to go to Mexico and get health care there. Sadly, some if retiree friends go there for dental care since Medicare doesn't cover that. Texas governor and legislators do not accept Federal Medicaid money so many who qualify in Michigan do not get it in Texas.
Sneakers--Yes, a hospital kitchen can mess up fruit cocktail. We were told not to get RSV shot. TS Francine is leaving at least 3 inches of rain. One school district is delaying start of classes until 11:30 AM. Road to Space X us flooded and TWC showing workers having to walk from their base. Does appear the Houston-Galveston area will be spared. But saw video of the power company getting crews ready. Looks like Louisiana is the target. Glad Aj likes the Macy job. Wonder how it is better than JCP?
Uncle--When I was taking the garbage out this morning, saw the school bus board students in the rain. But since some live a block away, parents drove them to bus stop. Harlingen schools were not delayed and last night's middle school games went on as scheduled.
Out HEB luncheon for today was postponed until next week. Saw all the chapters along the coast did the same thing.
Wonder if SIL will be coming for Chemo today with this rain.
Garbage pickup is here. Great!
If the rain lets up enough, have some Recyling to take before daughter and her family arrive this weekend.

The nursing home doesn’t but one time they put vanilla yogurt on top of it which I thought was a bit weird but when I read what it was I ate it. Wonder why they told you not to get the RSV shot, I do have congestive heart failure which is a strongly recommended indication. You may get more rain than they expect here. CenterPoint Energy will hopefully be better prepared than they were for Beryl. it’s Isaiah who has the job at Macy’s. He strongly prefers the working environment there. Just talked to AJ, he is expecting the nursing home to not discharge me until the weather gets better. He said one time in the past one of the hospitals held me another day because of a severe storm but I have been in the hospital enough times that I don’t remember. I ordered two thirty pound bags of dog food from Chewy. AJ asked me whether I could order it on the iPad or whether he just go out and buy a bag locally. I said I’ll try and I had no problem ordering on the iPad. Had enough money in my main checking account.

Just got a roommate on the other side of the room. He wheeled over to my side. He has a buzz cut. Don’t know if he is here short-term like I am or not.

Had hospitalist come in. He asked me when I am going to get discharged. I told him that I know nothing. I was here for IV antibiotics and they pulled my PICC eight days ago. Hopefully, they won’t kick me out in the middle of Tropical Storm Francine.

Nurse yesterday afternoon did a lousy job bandaging my left foot. The bandage came off while I was sleeping. The night nurse is going to rebandage it.

Woke up about five o’clock and I’m still not rebandaged. Had to get in the nurse assistant to plug in my AC adapter and he dumped the urinals of both me and my roommate.

They weighed me at the nursing home. My weight was down a few pounds which I said wasn’t a bad thing. I am eating most of the food they give me. Haven’t had breakfast. Can’t find my TV remote so I have been listening to SiriusXM.
Looking at my unbandaged left foot. The skin is dry and the wound is healing.

Chance of rain today in Metro Houston is 30%.

Good Morning, Sneakers. I'm happy to see that Hurricane Francine is headed away from Texas, but it's sad to see the people in Louisiana and Mississippi under the gun again. Just came back from an 8AM grocery pick up and thena quick trip to Walmart to start the day. Have the grocery run pretty much nailed down to every second Wednesday. The RSV vaccine had zero side effects - not even a sore arm at the injection site. Don't know if that's the nature of the vaccine, the skill of the pharmacist, or just dumb luck, but I'll take it! Glad your foot is healing. That rehab facility of yours must have a "Remote Gremlin" doing his mischief!
Hello, soutxed. I didn't watch the debate last night, but checked out the early AM news on competing networks and a couple on-line newspapers telling me how well 'their" candidate did. The candidates are spending a lot of time in the Battleground States, but I can't imagine anyone being undecided one way or the other at this late date.

Sneakers--Was told wife and I are both healthy enough to not need to take the RSV. Sorry I got them mixed up. Yes, it is Isiah at Macy's.
Lorando--Yes, the state Louisiana gets more than their share of Hurricanes. There are some people who have not made up their minds about the election.
Rained most of the morning and then by 5 PM the sun came out. Cleaned the guest room for daughter and whatever of her family comes.
Saw the debate but had me drinking by 9 PM. Moderators didn't hold candidates to the time and microphones were left on when they should have been on. Fact checkers were kept pretty busy as both candidates misstated facts (to put it mildly).
So many schools here are getting death threats that attendance is down. This will affect their funding from the state, which is already too low.
Headed to recycle today and then to the gym.

We had Beryl barrel through a couple of months ago. That’s enough. We can’t get by that infrequently because of the milk drinkers. It is $3.08 for a gallon of HEB 2% milk. Good to hear you had zero side effects from the RSV vaccine. Did you have Arexvy or the Pfizer RSV vaccine I can’t remember the name of right now? Most of the advertising is for Arexvy. Pfizer usually advertises Prevnar. I think the remote is in the bed, I’ve looked on both sides and couldn’t find it. I have also felt around the bed a good bit. Checked my phone, it was down to 47% so it doesn’t need recharging yet.

Sneakers, it was Abrysvo by Pfizer.
