En route, E6

I am en route. Right now I am sitting at gate E6 in the Houston airport waiting to board for Guatemala City. I am not sure when I will have Wifi again, so I thought I would attempt a quick update.

Yesterday I was stressing because I did not have all my shots, especially the shingles vaccination and the tetanus shot. Dennie was doing some shopping for me and she forgot to get something at Walgreen's, so I quickly dropped by to make the purchase. A big sign on the door said "Get you Shingles shot at Walgreen's", so why not? I decided to check it out.

"Excuse me, how much is the shingles vaccination?"

"$219.00, but if you have insurance, there might be a co-pay"

"219.00! Wow! But here is my insurance card. Can you check it out?"

After a few minutes, "You have good insurance. You don't even have a co-pay. Your insurance will pick it all up."

Whoopee! God is good! And now I don't have to stress about getting shingles in Guatemala.

I also asked about tetanus and found that would cost me $64.00. So, I decided I just better be careful. Actually, while I was on a hot streak, I drove down the road to my primary care provider and convinced them to give me a tetanus shot right then because I was leaving for Guatemala the next day and I would be gone for three months. We are boarding, gotta go.
