got my covid vax a couple days ago, and j also got his. now we're both ineligible for the free vax but one is available if you pay [hideous amount of money]. so that is what we did. i have some murky feelings (cut for length mostly)
about how last year he was very upset that he was no longer eligible for the vaccine - understandable - but part of how he expressed that was to tell me repeatedly that [our mutual friend, disabled in some similar ways and some different to me, who also became ineligible for the vaccine] deserved it more than me. and when i needed him to come with me to operate my chair he was upset with me for increasing his covid risk through taking an extra trip out (on the bus etc.) leading to several unpleasant conversations as i remember it, that i was doing something very unfair to him, that i was putting him in this terrible situation for something he wouldn't even benefit from.
and now this time, he wouldn't mask at all on the bus (50 minutes each way) or any other indoor environments - for asthma reasons i think primarily but he also said it wouldn't help or make a difference anyway [to covid risk].
he wouldn't operate my chair because of concern about post-vax effects (i.e., if you can't operate a car after, you can't operate a wheelchair) so i had to walk and ended up overexerting a lot, doing the most walking i've done in maybe 4 years? 5? i think he was hoping i wouldn't find it difficult so then we could take a similar trip out but for recreational things, doing some shopping or something, with no chair again. he has asked about this kind of thing a few times (like, Are you sure you need it?)
also, for some reason i couldn't book our flu vaccines at the same place even though it seems like they offer them (information ambiguous). so i'm going to have to figure out where we can go for that and then we will have to make a similar trip again soon.
