That is so sad ! So very sorry. My Condolences and prayers for him and his family
My step aunt got the shot and never had a heart problems b4 the shot. She ended up in the hospital with a heart attack, well, I'm sure you are able to guess why. Thank goodness she survived.

Hope you are feeling better

Doing better for sure. Still need a booster later. Progressing toward getting set to work at the hospital in Parkersburg.
Saw the psychologist/"Bone popper" today. He gave me "express doctor orders" ... "Don't outwork everyone up there, or over work them. If you do we'll bring you down here to outwork our limited housekeeping staff."
Seems my trouble, I work myself out of work.

I slept a little later this morning and then had to run to the the Market for some stuff to make a Pot Roast and of Course Bread~! Got a warm loaf of French and nice soft rolls. Made Steak and Eggs for Breakfast/Brunch during the 1st ever NFL Game from Munich Germany.
Went to Ripley this morning/afternoon. A friend needed a ride to work. Got a rental Thursday evening, got it picked up in Parkersburg Friday.
Whilst in town wife bought us Sunday brunch at Bob Evan's (up on the hill). Had a bowl of sausage gravy, over two pancakes, two sausage patties, a biscuit, two coffees. Brought some back in a box for Leanne, our mountain lion up in the barn.
Got Leanne to come into the house a little this morning. That went better than expected. She stayed near me until deciding she needed back out.
Reminded me of the documentary I watched from PBS last night. It was about the secret history about forming the S.A.S division L. During part of that there was a scene where the old guys visibly got shaken, cried.
They needed to attack some guns on shore. As they were going in to land some paratroopers were landing in the ocean. The men on the boats heard them screaming, drowning. The S.A.S guys pleaded with their commander, "we need to save these boys."
Cut to the older commander now. "I had to be colder than that ocean. I told them no, we wouldn't save them. We had our job to do and were going on to do it. We did." This ties in because it reminded me how I do now, love living.
That may appear callous, cold. Not meant as such. I recall my Pap telling a few tales, "Gentleman Jack was there, ..."; "Gent Jack led a group over, ...". They were brief tales usually only one line or less. Had thought Pap was simply meaning British soldiers. Found out from that documentary there was an S.A.S member then called Gentleman Jack.
Glad they "did their job" and I'm now here living as freely as I may.

A bit of funny stuff here. Everyone is keen for important names regarding occupations. Well, I have now been a "Temporary Custodial Engineer" for the county school system for about three years. Once I start working, at the hospital, I will be an "Environmental Services Technician". These fancy terms mean I work as a glorified "janitor". Yee ha.

Will you have some good benefits at the hospital? Yesterday I had to do my annual benefits enrollment, and got a good look at what all that insurance costs me in a year's time. Thank goodness for Medicare, is all I can say. Our benefits are way too expensive.
Good grief, I should never have started thinking about insurance. Not a good way to start the day.

@Jimi I love this because a friend of a friend is a guy who thinks he knows everything and 2 times he pissed me off Royally trying to sound like he knows what I am talking about~! First time I was trying to explain to my neighbor about running a Cat5e Cable and this Dip Shit says to us.... "Oh the shorter the better~!" I went off on him because it is a MAXIMUM of 100 Meters~! 3" or 328' works exactly the same~! Second time I was asked what I was doing on my vehicle that morning. So I told them I had to change an O2 Sensor and this Dumb Ass tries to tell me "Oh to clean an O2 Sensor soak in kerosene overnight~!" WTF again? I told him I have worked in the Auto Industry for over 45 years so don't tell me cleaning a Heated O2 Sensor with a bad ground will fix you stupid fool~!
Some people.....................
I never try to tell someone their business and I try to never give advise unless it is asked for.
Not exactly sure just yet. Do believe I'll not get sick from anything for the next decade at least. Got an optional Hep B vaccine today, just in case we stumble on prickly "sharps".
I start on 12/12/22. That and 12/13/22 are my orientation days. I was supposed to start this coming Monday, but they want me fully Covid vaccinated. The booster will be given me on 11/30/22 so they "pushed" me a pay period.
Will know more regarding that kind of stuff, benefits, 401 B, taxes and such after then. The hospital is a private non-profit. They have 401 B instead of 401 K, works exactly same, only different class for the "company's" tax status.

*Ambles up behind you, gently turns you round and gives you a big warm hug. Holds it a bit until I feel your body just relax and seemingly melt. Sighs letting you go, stands still looking into your eyes, grins, winks.*
Gonna be alright, honey. You and I know you got it. Some of us in life got to do what needs doing, others get to ride coat tails first class. Remember, ultimately you and I, all of it, ... ungatz. Even the idjits are ungatz. Not a thing any can do, say, think to alter that. Not being Nihilistic, merely looking at what reality as far as I have known it has shown.
To borrow from Bill Hicks. "Life is a ride at an amusement park, may as well enjoy it."
