Her neighbor got the same shot, and ended up laid out with 105 degree fever, hand tremors, headache, extreme tiredness…not great.

I’m thinking we’ll ask for it in the other arm. Doing her part for research on the over 90 group. She signed up for V-Safe as well, to make sure the CDC gets the data it needs. Apparently this kind of reaction is a common thing. Currently it looks sort of tan, and still 4″ around the site involved. It grew to about 4″ around the site and turned bright red again. Day 4, bright red, hot to the touch, puffed up about 1/4 inch.

Day 2, a pale pink band about 3″ wide around injection site, kind of hurt. But that’s how it is here.Īnyway, reactions to the vaccine? Yes. I know that probably upends some expectations. So here, being really old and White or Asian, means you really need a vaccine so as not to die. Asians make up 3% of cases, but 8% of deaths. Whites are 24% of cases and 44% of deaths. In Gran’s county, Latinos are 66% of cases, and 42% of deaths. I know so many people who have had so much trouble trying to get a vaccine. The pharmacy pre-scheduled her 2nd dose that day. Mutti got Gran her first shot of the Moderna vaccine Feb 2. Although Hugh tells me if I ever want to sail up to Vancouver from California, on a rich person’s 40′ superyacht, as crew, he knows someone that moves such boats around for fun and profit.

But there's a soft landing, a nice ending to this opus all around.Yes, I’ve return to Gran’s house, for this 3rd – but not final – tour of duty. The younger man, though straight, enjoys wearing ladies lingerie while having sex. The older man depends on super-annuated ladies of wealth for his dining out and his winters in Florida. Though they fascinate each other, and unintentionally entertain each other, they can't decide whether or not to be real allies. The kind of face that America just doesn't make anymore.īoth characters have built protective walls around themselves, perhaps necessarily.

His new roomie played by Paul Dano has a poignance, a sad yearning that I haven't seen conveyed so well since Timothy Bottoms in 'Last Picture Show.' Dano has the sort of face you only see nowadays looking at you across time in family pictures from a century ago or more. 'They're not gigolos, they're gentlemen.'Ī man who escorts wealthy widows in New York's Upper East Side takes a young aspiring playwright under his wing.īring Clifton Webb forward 60 years, add wackiness, and you have Kevin Kline as the eccentric bachelor in a rent-stabilized dump on the Upper East Side (yes, there are such flats still).
