Immunizations!

Shots. I didn't think about it until last night, but I was totally calm, telling myself that I wouldn't be scared. And then this morning...We were in the computer lab, just typing out work, when the horrible announcement came on. I already knew I was going to be one of the first ones getting the shot, since my last name is pretty close on the top of the alphabet. So all the C people (Lillian, Aileen, Jenica, Kathy C) went down with me, and we were all kind of sharing our nervousness. To make it worse, right when we lined up, we somehow started talking about immunization-horror stories that just made us more scared. The actually shot wasn't that bad, it was just needle in, tiny sting, and then you couldn't even feel the needle coming out. We waited 15 minutes after that, just to make sure we didn't have serious reactions, and then we were finished. My arm wasn't sore after the shot. It was a long time afterwards that it started becoming sore. I was back at the computer lab, and it was fine for a couple minutes, and then you could feel the soreness creeping up, and all through science there was this funny feeling whenever I moved my arm. By the end of lunch, it was a lot better. We had square dancing right after, and it wasn't all that bad.
Ok, one shot down, I'm pretty sure we'll have to take another one in February, and then another in June.
I'm glad I survived today,
