LUCY BURDETTE: We are sad to report that our Julia is deathly ill with the return of Covid. (Sounds like a horror movie doesn't it? it is!) While she rests and recovers, she urges the rest of us to get vaccinated! I got mine last week and yes, I felt lousy for a couple of days, but nothing like she's suffering.
Meanwhile, here's her gorgeous new cover, and a page to pre-order, and here's a link to her last writing post in case you didn't get a chance to read it...
Sending prayers for a speedy and complete recovery, Julia . . . . .
ReplyDeleteI love this cover! I can't wait for the book to be published . . . .
Oh, no. Sending prayers for Julia's speedy and complete recovery!
ReplyDeleteThoughts for health and grace to Julia. May she heal soon and strong. Blessings for her and her family. Elisabeth
ReplyDeleteOh no! I had it for the first time in July and am not a fan. I wish I could send a box of tea and cookies!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. I hope she gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteAn important reminder about all vaccines that protect not only the people receiving them, but also those around them.
ReplyDeleteMany of us have become complacent in following through with getting booster shots for these illnesses because we are not getting regular updates about the fact that the potential to contract them is still there.
We must also speak up about areas in which the vaccines have been denied to people who want and need them but have been unable to get them because some government officials instead of medical professionals are controlling the access to who is eligible.
Wishing Julia a speedy recovery and no lingering after-effects.
ReplyDeleteNot good. And that grandbaby is arriving soon. Rapid healing.
ReplyDeleteJulia may you be blessed with a swift recovery and no lingering effects. Also, for those who don't know, unlike in earlier years you must have a doctor's Rx to get a COVID shot outside of the doc's office. That applies even if you are 65 and older. In addition, if you use an outside source at your pharmacy, a pharmacist is the only one who can administer the injection. No such barriers in place for the flu shot. Got mine yesterday. -- Victoria
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on what state you are in. Here in Connecticut, you can walk into a pharmacy. No need for a prescription.
DeleteWe can still get vaccines without an Rx in Ohio, too. I have had both flu and Covid vaccines in the last three weeks.
DeleteYou can walk in anywhere in California and still get the Covid vaccine. All you need is $, not all insurance companies are paying for it now.
DeleteBest wishes, Julia and get well soon – you have a baby to welcome.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that in Canada that vaccines are free and there for the taking. In another month we will be getting the latest Covid booster, this year’s flu, and RSV. I think shingles may be there as well. If we are all vaccinated, we all live in a safer world.
Oh no! I truly hope things are not as dire as they sound. On Wednesday I got my flu shot and I have an appointment for the covid booster next week.
ReplyDeletePlease get better soon, Julia. We need you.
People should know that not all states require a prescription.
So sorry you are ill, Julia. I hope you are getting help, especially with your pets, so you can rest and recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is lovely!
So sorry you are sick, Julia! I hope to get my Covid vaccine and flu shots soon.
ReplyDeleteHorrified to read that you are deathly sick, Julia! I have heard that the latest iteration of Covid is a bear.
ReplyDeleteI inquired about shots at our local pharmacy two weeks ago and was told I needed a doctor's prescription due to Bob (I have now decided there was only one "Bobby") Kennedy's ignorant war on vaccines. However, Gov. Hochul has now signed an order in NYS making it possible to get Covid boosters as usual and I will be going in soon. Feel better! I hope you have access to Paxlovid. When my husband brought home Covid for Christmas, we both took it and had good results. It didn't make us feel better but shortened the misery. (Selden)
This morning I was worried that there was no new JRW post. So sorry to learn that Julia is very sick and hope that she feels better soon. I already preordered her book. We all are definitely getting vaccinated, right?
ReplyDeleteJulia, we miss you and send you hugs and well wishes for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. You had me reeling from the "we're sad to report" beginning of that. Julia, I hope you heal up soon and easily! Sending hugs
ReplyDeleteI had my flu vaccine and my new covid vaccine one week ago. Luckily I'm not the type to have a strong reaction to the covid vaccine. I'm leaning heavily on Hugh to get his, even though he always gets a bad reaction. Better than getting sick from the actual disease!
