I have refused to ever get a flu shot. I figure that if doctors just guess which strain to use then I'm better off not messing with it. Until now. Lil' Web has changed things already. To keep the sweet baby from getting pneumonia someday I compromised my pointless rebellion and got a flu shot yesterday. I realized, as the nurse rubbed my arm with the alcohol wipe, that it has been a long time since I've gotten a shot. I tried to remember what it felt like, with little success until she stuck the needle in me. Then it all came back. Ah, yes, the prick, the burn. Good times. One thing I forgot though, or maybe didn't know, was the lingering pain. I got the shot at 3:45 or so... and my arm still hurts. I couldn't sleep on my left side last night, I can't lean on the sofa arm, I think I'd cry if someone poked me. No, this I don't remember. So Lil' Web better not get pneumonia. Ever.
Canine Naughtiness
The dogs have been very naughty. My mom has been kind enough to let me drop the dogs at her house in the mornings so she can walk them and then they hang out there and can play instead of Bo being in a cage at my house. Well, Bo has decided that mom's landscape beds (that haven't been planted yet) are the perfect location for digging to China. Mom disagrees, quite vehemently. Today he decided that he was too short, so he decided to use the counter to help him see the food he was smelling. He quickly found out that I wasn't a big fan of that. Jazz has decided that she should kill anyone who approaches mom and dad's front door. Big problem for the Boy Scouts, high school boys, United Way volunteers... Needless to say, I see obedience school in their futures.
I love flu shots. They hurt, but keeps me from getting sick - a big plus.
ReplyDeleteI think your dogs need a trip to the dog park with my dogs. Perhaps they have too much energy? Ransom drove us crazy last night since he didn't get to run.
Obedience school is great...but then there is that whole consistency thing at home :).
The first time Jack and I ever received flu shots was last fall, when Mackie was a little thing and we wanted to prevent her from getting sick since she couldn't defend herself. I'll probably get another one this year - the things we do for our babies, as you're quickly learning! :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Feather, you're crazy for loving flu shots. Do you realize that you just invited me to join you and your dogS at the park?? Do you have an announcement? ;)
