I had no idea how pleased I would be!

Congratulations!
You do sound extremely happy!
I hope that the vaccinations continue to bring such profound feelings of positivity.

I was very grateful last year at this time. Had been recalled after having a mammogram. Attended the hospital, saw the specialist, more checks.

So relieved to be told all ok, after a worrying weekend.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more important than your health and the health of those you love.

Yay! Applegran what good news for you before Christmas, it must bring a big sigh of relief.?

Applegran congrats!

There's a thread running on Gransnetters getting vaccinated:

As for being grateful, I am very grateful that a 'tipping point' for Christmas has been reached, on that my daughter is hosting this year and all I have to do is show up (okay - with a pavlova) eat, go for a walk and go home! Yippee, it appears that I've handed over hosting Christmas!

Marvellous news! I’d be thrilled too.

Fantastic news ! Anything to do with Your health supersedes all other news . My most special news was when we had out beautiful DGD after 6 DSs and 3 DGSs - all very loved - but was a nice treat to have our DGD !

Apple gran _ you are a happy bunny. Stay that way !!

What a lovely thread Applegran. I'm grateful just to still be here really as I never expected to live this long. And I still get a thrill from little things like birds singing or a lovely walk, along a beach or in the countryside.
I read recently about "Awe walks". Just go for a walk, no matter how short, and look for awesome things in nature... a beautiful tree, a sunset, a butterfly on a flower. If we look we will always find something.
And I'm always impressed by the kindness of strangers;
I've been so lucky to be on the receiving end of this many times.

At 83 I am waiting for that same phone call.

I am so grateful for my GD who moved in with me when my H died last year, I was very grateful that after many years with Alzheimer’s he died so very peacefully after being diagnosed with cancer, he never knew he had it.

I say thank you every day that after 10 months on the waiting list, I finally got my replacement hip, in a tiny 2 week window when operations were started again and then stopped.

We must not take anything for granted in these uncertain times.

Well it`s about time we had something to smile about Applegran.
Good for you.

Certainly sounds like a beginning to an end.
Really p;eased you will be able to take the first steps to normality for the rest of us!
Really have to wonder ho we would have felt 100 years ago when "Spanish Flu" was around - no immunisation then. How would we have coped?

congrats that you are getting it so early.
I will feel happy to get it too once the phone call comes.
It will be nice to feel safer and less anxious.
Hope it will be a lovely Christmas for you

Fabulous news. Can't wait for mine

I also look actively for things to be grateful for. One daughter and I exchange "gratitudes" when either of us feel a bit grumpy or sorry for ourselves.
Such a good thing to do.

And pleased you are so happy Applegran. I hope your joy rubs off on others.

I wish you well with the vaccination. Looking forward to my turn too!

That’s a lovely message too henetha

So pleased for you Applegran - hope I get mine soon. It’s the fanfare to a more normal life.

Congratulations! Hope it goes well. What a lovely Christmas present. I'm expecting to be in the next batch and really looking forward to it.

I am 69 so expect I will have to wait a while. I will go when called

I am pleased to hear that you have been called to get the vaccine. It will definitely have cheered you up. I will be taking it up when invited as well but I won't be called just yet. Today I am grateful that I have been able to get a dental appointment for tomorrow after suffering with toothache since last week. It is very difficult to get seen by any dentist even privately so I hope they will be able to stop the pain so that I can enjoy my Christmas dinner!

Daughters, sons in law and grandchildren, also my 2 Westies from Westie rescue. Good health considering my age.

Yes! I would be happy too. My husband is older so I'm expecting that he will get called first and as he needs to be accompanied I'm hoping that they will do me at the same time. Well I'm going to ask!

That's great news for you Applegran, maybe you will be one of the first GNs to get the vaccine, and lovely to read such a positive thread.
Hope all goes well for you, my DH and I are eagerly awaiting our call from our surgery when our turn comes.

Can't wait to be invited for mine. I'm keen as mustard.
