the unfortunate thing about this... is that it is AUTUMN that I have my physical.
meaning what exactly?
meaning it is flu season!
yes.. that means that I have to sit in a waiting room full of people with more sickness than usual and NOT wearing the face masks that the front counter suggests if you are coughing and sniffling.
but really thats not the bad part about the annual autumn doctors appointment..
it means..
that no matter how hard it is that I try to say no and stand my ground
that..
I get suckered and convinced to..
get my flu shot.
uggggggghhhh
arm pain = 3 days
I just had the flu for a few days earlier so I think I'm over it for the season..
AND get sick all the time this time of year so really I don't feel as though getting a flu shot makes much of a difference... other than now I have arm pain for a few days and can't sleep on my right side.
But my doctor tells me this tragic story about her getting the flu when she was in university and how she strongly suggests the shot for the flu ruined her life for a period of time.
tragic. But I'm glad it gives my nurse friends happiness..
