Immunized!

I figure if they're going to stick me with needles, I want all the protection they can offer. This morning I went to my gym/wellness center's drive-through immunization clinic and got a tetanus shot, a flu shot, and a pneumonia shot. That ought to keep me healthy...actually, a few summers ago, I had decided to get all caught up on my vaccines. I ended up getting one course of the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine, but I never got the next two courses. Maybe in the next few months I can redo that one and get the hepatitis vaccine, which I was also intending to get.

It actually hasn't been that painful, either. I barely felt the shots themselves, and I've been keeping my arms active (cooking breakfast, washing dishes) since then. My arms are a little sore, but I'm convinced the soreness isn't as bad if you keep moving.

No one enjoys getting

No one enjoys getting pricked. Though if you're that conscious of your health, try acupuncture. It works I swear! Plus, after getting the hand on acupuncture, your innate fear of needles will definitely wane a little. Acupuncture rocks!
