I saw on the news that our local Walmart would now be offering the vaccine to those under 65 with various chronic illnesses. One of them was asthma so I asked the reporter (on her Twitter) for more details and satisfied I qualified, signed up. But turns out it was a mistake.....Walmart was NOT supposed to open it up to the next group yet. The state said they would not accept any additional appointments but would honor the ones already made. I felt great relief when I thought it was my turn cause America especially Florida does not care about covid and has insisted I return to work at the nations largest university in person. I’m 43 with manageable asthma and a rare genetic illness which requires me to have dozens of precancerous growths removed from various organs twice a year. Now I’m very behind on this due to covid and would be very relieved to be vaccinated and able to go have my colonoscopy and endoscopy and thyroid biopsy to keep the cancer out of my body. I do hate my scopes but know they’re the only thing keeping me healthy. But even with my reasons I also know there are still lots of people at higher risk than I am. And when I learned I only got an appointment because of a mistake, it just felt wrong. But my family says I’m overthinking it and just need to get it while I can. And they point out that giving it up might mean a wasted dose rather than a worthier patient. So if you read my ramblings, do you think my anxiety for social acceptance is making me feel like this or it actually is wrong and I should cancel in the hopes that someone who is supposed to get it does? Thanks for any advice. I’m going to go drown my self inflicted whiny sorrow in some ice cream.
