Feel like I've hit the lottery! Finally got an appointment for both doses of the Moderna vaccine through Walgreen's. First one at 4 PM tomorrow and second on March 24th. Have to say this is probably the first time I've ever looked forward to getting a shot.

Lucky you, i'll have to wait until at least maj-june at the earliest. And the way things are going with the vaccine rate here i'm not positive about that.

Hope it happens sooner than later for you and you can stay safe in the meantime.

....I will put it out there again, that with my experience from getting the Moderna vacc-first injection made my arm very sore for approx. 24 hours, second one knocked the hell out of me for a day.....lay in lots of water, Ibuprofen and Tylenol and dose your self on a rotating basis with the analgesics every 4-6 hours.....it made it bearable....

Not sure if this is the correct thread...... am asking for prayers and positive thoughts for another member who has a relative in the hospital. Not covid related, but covid is preventing family from being in attendance.  The  situation is serious.  I will try to post updates when possible. Thank you.

I am asking for prayers and good thoughts, whatever positive energy you have. 

My step mom has been very sick for over a year. Because of $#&*% covid, she had only one dr appt where she learned nothing and then she just kept getting worse and worse. Could not eat. Lost a ton of weight.  

2 weeks ago she finally got to see a Dr. They scoped her stomach. It was full of lesions and food. She is not digesting food. It just sat in her stomach until she got sick. Did biopsy of lesions, benign. Said they just needed to heal her stomach up, get control of the acid and it was treatable and she would be feeling better in no time. 

But the meds weren't helping. Yesterday my dad was getting her ready to go to ER because she was really bad and she collapsed in his arms. She came back around but ER said it was a heart attack. They did more tests. Found a mass on her pancreas. And a spot on a kidney. The mass in her pancreas in pushing on her intestine and that is why she is not digesting food. 

They have already transferred her to Colorado. Going to do a biopsy but the prognosis is very grim. The Dr's there are very concerned now about her heart and so have not done it yet. She has been sick for A YEAR. This infuriates me that she could get NO help and now look where we are. I am scared and extremely worried about her and my dad. 

Please send up whatever good vibes you have.

Thanks, Scott! Will be sure to follow your advice and make sure I don't have anything else planned for the day following the shots. I don't get them until late afternoon so expect it will be more the day after that I'll be feeling the effects.

Oh, my gosh. So sorry this got to this point. Healing vibes and prayers being sent.

Thank you, everyone. ❤ 

They are not going to do the biopsy. They want her to get stronger and then go in and remove the part of the tumor that is pressing on her intestine so she can at least eat. She is not strong enough right now. 

It sounds like they cannot do much other than make her as comfortable as possible. 

My heart is broken and I feel like I should know what to do. What to say. But the words are just not there. 

Keep praying for my family please.

It ended up being the Pfizer, not Moderna, vaccine but so far, so good. Just a sore arm. My daughter agreed with your assessment @GNTLGNT that the second one packs a much bigger punch which is what it's supposed to do and means it's working.
