Shots, shots, shots

The title of my blog reminds me of Laura Jay….hahaha. Laura, do you know why????

I had my appointment with Dr. Jeffrey Jones today. Kelly referred me to Dr. Jones for my any vaccines I would need for Thailand. I ended up having to get three shots. I had a Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Tetanus shot. Both the Hepatitis A and Typhoid shots were recommended for my trip. I was just due for a tetanus shot so I figured what the heck, I might as well get all three.

The only problem with this is that I LOATHE shots. I'll admit I am such a baby when it comes to these kind of things. I mean, I can't really help the fact that I have a weak stomach and I tend to get nauseous easily. Just the thought of any sharp object inserted into my body causing pain tends to make squeal.

Obviously, I went through with the shots anyway, but now I am feeling the slight side effects. I haven't felt sick at all. The only discomfort is the pain and soreness in my arms. It seriously feels like someone struck each of my upper arms with a wooden bat. It's hard to even lift them to a 45 degree angle. Sadly, the nurse said they will be sore for a couple of days:/

I just took some Excedrin PM. Hopefully, the pain will go away and I'll get a much needed nights rest. I can't wait to sleep….

Night friends.
