health

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.
