Preventive measure

Standard

Worker Man Scared as a Nurse Prepares to Give Him a Flu Shot ClipartBri and I went to a local high school to get a flu shot. We thought they were going to be free, but there was a misprint in the paper he works for (they said the flu mist was $20, but didn’t mention the shot costing anything) ! They were $10 cheaper than a local drugstore, so we decided to get one. We (especially him) have been running our parents back and forth to the doctor/hospital and he looks so rundown. It takes 2 weeks for it to take effect. I really want Sean to get one too, since he is living alone. Incidentally, Regis and Kelly got theirs today too. I really hardly felt anything, which is fine with me. Go ahead and get one!

Tomorrow, I’ll see Dr. Bob*man (don’t ya love that name?). Will let you know what happens there. At least my shoulder blade is better after hurting off and on since July. I think since I stopped gardening and lugging the watering can, it got better, but unrelated to IBS or tummy issues. I have a feeling I need to try a low cholesterol diet again. I told Bri in the car today that we need to do a weekly walking jaunt or two at the park. He asked if I wanted to walk in the dark. At least I have him doing sit-ups with the Ab-lounger. Now, just to get my bones moving. Which I will probably be doing on Sunday…

I may be meeting (it’s a good chance), a blogger pal on Sunday. I won’t say who until we actually meet. It will be like meeting a niece. : )

  1. Here, the flu shots are covered by some sort of government program for the elderly and for people who suffer chronic illness (like asthma) that leaves you susceptible to complications from the flu (like pneumonia, which I get nearly every year). Rowen’s fascinated by the fact that I didn’t cry – LOL – and has been telling anyone who’ll listen that it obviously hurts worse when she gets a shot. 😉
