You're going to be so proud of me, bloggy friends.
I got a flu shot today. Voluntarily. I know, I was such a big girl.
I know some of you might be thinking, "What's her boo hoo?" Let me tell you. When I was a kid I was in the hospital for about a week. Had a severe case of strep that left a mass over my windpipe. Treatment? A shot every four hours in my leg, alternating between right and left. It went on and on and on. While I appreciate being able to breathe, the end result included a huge phobia. Needles, hospitals, doctors . . . you name it, I avoid it.
But I got the flu twice last year. Once so badly it felt as if I had been hit by a truck, which promptly backed up and did it again. No exaggeration.
So I took a chance, motivated by the free shot and the fact that no one wanted to take my blood pressure. It better work.
