I'm not sure how reliable this is but it may help. I also don't know how any physician or pharmacist could NOT know whether or not a vaccine was allergy safe. That's ridiculous. 

https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/ask-the-allergist/egg-allergy-and-covid-vaccine/#:~:text=The COVID-19 vaccines authorized,you're allergic to egg.

 

Yay! Finally an answer. I am still skipping the flu based on my allergist saying no and the Vax company themselves saying egg allergic peeps should not, but covid Vax here I come!

Does anyone know if covid vaccines are cultured in egg albumin like flu shots are? 

I just asked google that question, and the answer is no, they are not according to very reputable looking organizations/websites. 

I’m thinking pharmacists should know this, because it seems pretty rudimentary knowledge to me

I am in a fairly busy area. Seems like they just didn't want to be bothered. The link @kboissupplied had the info I needed.

 

THANKS @kbois!

If anyone is watching the skies tonight to see the witch fly over the moon, I'm sorry but it is way to cold for me to climb on my broom just to make my yearly flight over the moon, catch me next year. Love to you all.........

Hope everyone is well.

I had an eventful weekend, involving a trip to hospital, mild concussion and 4 stitches in a head wound (only an epileptic seizure).

All good know (stitches for 10-14 days).

Hope that you're O.K. and are recovering. Take it easy and let your husband spoil you.

We are required to get flu shots for work and I felt like this year was a rough one.  Not as bad as some years but man did I feel it.  

 

Hope you and Dan weren't under the weather long.

Feeling A LOT better today thanks. They are saying here that we will have annual covid shots, like we do for flu shots.  We had them both on Thursday... but feeling pretty good today.

SP and I both work at University -- so it's a giant petri dish.  Last time I told a new nurse where I worked her response was, "Oh. That's like asking one of us."

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

 

hi, long time missing but things have been rough. 4 weeks ago i was working and just fine. Mid afternoon my leg started to give pain called doctor left message. Went on with my day and no relief. Went home and could i hardly stand it. So decided to go to urgent care and he told me sit down. He said you need to the hospital ASAP I said huh? The doc told me I had infection which was causing all my pain. So off i went to the ER and they were waiting on me. went in immediately and was told thank goodness you came you have a blood infection that needs meds. Spent 2 1/2 weeks in hospital getting rid of this. Now in rehabilitation hospital due to leg issues that need to be addressed. 

On the road to recovery. 

Hope everyone is doing great.

Take care

Sorry you had to go through all that, but I’m glad to hear it was caught in time and you’re on the mend. 

Take care, rick.

Wow rick. So glad you went in for urgent help. You take care and keep on, my friend!  We're all here rooting for you! xo

[Mikiesboy]

Hmm, posted this and then really looked at it. Why is it a pic with a guy jumping off a cliff, very odd.

Anyway. Have a good whatever day it is. Take care.

Today's little motivational pic is very true. Since i stopped working in September (other than the stuff Dan has me doing daily - slave driver!) i noticed the days just go by. i just do things i enjoy or need to be done around the house. i wonder if we are supposed to feel badly about that?

i do struggle a little with, i guess you'd call it mild guilt that others are going out to a job daily. That's lessening now though. i have noticed that i sleep much better than i ever have. i don't find myself awake with thoughts of customers in my head anymore. That's such a relief.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Job stress is one of the worst contributors to a host of all sorts of negative things. It's wonderful that you have this chance to not have to deal with it. I get the guilt though. With both maternity leaves I had, I still found myself feeling unsettled. 

The fact that you're sleeping better and feel better overall is awesome. 

My week is hectic. So much stuff going on and all of it stressful. On top of it, I feel horrible and both knees and the hip have decided to join the "Let's make K even more miserable this week." At least I have an appointment for shots on Friday. Hubby has his MRI tomorrow but we won't see his neuro-opthalmologist until the end of the month. 

Have a good week!

[Kitt]

When the lab I worked in closed operations in my state and moved to Massachusetts I was given the option of relocating, but hubby's job was such that we could afford for me to stay home with Wings, then 8 years old. Plan was to collect unemployment, banking the money while I adjusted the budget to fit the lower income, giving me a cushions if I screwed up. Problem was I did not plan for being occupied while she was at school. I quickly caught up on all the little things that slide when you are a parent AND working full time, then started going bananas about 5 months into "stay at home mom".

Find things you want to do NOW before you hit that point. Make a to try or to do list! Have plans! I am much happier home, ( two additional careers and retirements later) but enjoy alone at home time more when I have a needlework project, book, or cooking project waiting on me.

 

Edit to add: Of course you all know I now run the horse trailer business, so that does fill a lot of time.
