MD opened up this week to everyone 16+. H has been eligible but hasn't tried to get in anywhere. I just pre registered myself for a mass vax site but who knows when I'll get an appointment. H and I both went to a few local pharmacy sites to check for appts and there's obvs nothing, I havent been paying attention to the tricks for appts but is this like where people are logging on a midnight and whatnot? I thought it just opened for people with underlying conditions? I’m not eligible until 4/27.

My grandmother has finally relented and went to the ER. She is being admitted, but they said 3 hours until she can get a room. She fought all of us all day on the idea of going when, in reality, she should have gone in Saturday. She is not doing well, hacking up who knows what and having difficulty breathing 😪

Next Tuesday, all vax providers will open up to all phases. I’m phase 3 and very antsy for an appt.

I’m preregistered for the mass vax sites, so hopefully I can get something soon. Good luck to you!

I can't fucking read apparently 🤦♀️ I really give up. It keeps changing. On the plus! H, who has been eligible for some time now and is an ass as per, finally scheduled his appt for next sat at a pharmacy by us, I found the openings on that website you guys recommended so thanks!

I'm sure there's a bajillion more people pre registered ahead of me. I wish I could schedule at a pharmacy for next week when I AM eligible for there though, just to get something on the books. But alas.

Oh, and when I was on the MD mass vax site last week, it showed you which vaccine was at each site, in case that’s helpful to any MD folks.
I remember that Hagerstown had J&J, so I think I’ll go there. Plus it’s only an hour away versus 2 hours to Salisbury.

But alas. I’ve found Walmart to be pretty easy to schedule as long as you get on right at midnight. They open up appointments for one week ahead of time - so tonight they’ll open appointments for next Tuesday.

Hm, I'll have to check Frederick too, if that's still one?? It was last week when I registered 😂 Really I think ill just end up waiting until I can get in one of the pharms in my town just so I don't end up taking a half day off work or anything. Like at this point, for me, like what's another week or two.

SUNY schools are going to start vaccinating student right on campus. Brockport is getting J&J so they can single dose the students as quickly as possible before they leave for summer.

Gma update. Thank you all for the good thoughts! She has been officially admitted. They have her on oxygen, gave her a potassium IV due to very low potassium levels, she is on steroids, and they started her on Remdesivir tonight. She’ll be there until she can go without supplemental oxygen, but it sounds like she got there at the right time. She sounds much better on the phone than she has since this began.
My grandfather says he isn’t as fatigued, but his sugar levels are high and he feels very weak. The next two days will be telling, but it sounds like he might be on the mend. I thought this about my grandma, but here we are so 🤷🏼♀️ He has had much milder symptoms in general than her 🤞🏻

cmb hopefully they recover quickly and easily. Our family friends, who are like my grandparents, got Covid in the fall. They’re in their 80’s and jn poor health. They both recovered beautifully and pretty quickly. I hope your grandparents do the same!

I got good news and bad...
The good news is my grandmother went home today 🙌🏻 I’m making her check in multiple times a day through the weekend... i also officially got the kids on the list for consideration for the pfizer trial and was told the doctor will be in touch 🤞🏻
The bad new is my grandfather is in the ICU. He was found yesterday after a welfare check when none of could reach him. When he got to the ER, his sugar levels were over 700. He’s on whatever breathing apparatus is a step down from a vent. They think he may have had a stroke. His sugar is down below 200 now, but it took almost a whole day to get them down.
