My quarterly checkup. The doctor is concerned about the cases of pertussis and pneumonia going around and decides that I ought to have immunizations against them - especially if I am going out to see a brand new baby! We call the oncologist to see if I have gotten either recently. No.
I submit to the nurse my arms. Yeow! Those shots hurt! She tells me that my arm may be sore for a bit. I believe her. I also know that these nasty diseases are indeed going around. Several people I know have one or the other. I know that my immune system could not ward off such intense diseases, and I am grateful for the foresight and the concern.
The last thing I would want to do is expose little Shiloh Marie to some horrible illness. Much less have fought off cancer only to succumb to something else. So I'll take the small irritation of a needle shot and be glad.
