Maybe I Should Watch....
I got my annual flu shot yesterday. I like to get vaccines. I figure it gives my immune system practice. You know, keeps it in shape so when I get sick for real, I'm good to go! What I do not like so much is the idea of a long pointy object sticking deep into my flesh, so, I do not watch. The pain does not bother me, rather, the idea of my insides makes me squeamish.
I showed my bf the bandage, proudly, yesterday, after the shot was over.
"Why do you have needle-stick scab below the bandage?" he asked.
"That's not a scab..." I said as I checked it out. But, sure enough, it was. Today, however, I discovered that I had another one underneath the bandage, too. Couldn't tell you which was which, because, as I mentioned, I do not watch.

Then we both giggled and were happy and joyfull. Pixies flittered around and the Hungarian Snow Shoed Ox grunted a little in it's sleep. But all in all, things were right in the world.
I got my flu shot last week too, and you know what? When I went to remove my bandaid, I discovered the nurse had put the sticky part on the jab!!! The people who apply these bandaids seem to need stronger perscriptions in their lenses!!!
I notice with my insulin injections if it bleeds at all, sometimes it will take several minutes for you to see anything. I'll sometimes take a shot, check, wont see any blood, and a few hours later when I'm dressing for bed I notice blood smeared down my arm. I get roughly 2191.52344 insulin injections a year, and I still miss it sometimes...
