“You know you’re wearing a camo bandage?” Helaine asked earlier this afternoon. I didn’t. No one checked with me before affixing it on my shoulder. It’s my souvenir from flu shot day.
I can’t remember the last time I had the flu. Maybe these shots work? So many conflicting stories. I will be sore for a few days. Don’t touch my shoulder, please.
While in the waiting room, a woman walked in with her two boys. One had his thumb plunged deep into a cup of ice water. He had been playing around with their car’s cigarette lighter. He didn’t realize the removable piece got hot!
Lesson learned.
In his defense, he’s probably never seen anyone use a car’s lighter! Even healthy progress has its downside.
I’m not a huge believer in the ‘flu shot’. My mom (who worked for doctors most of her working life) didn’t believe in them, neither did my dad who consented to have one one year, not only did he get the flu but he was sicker that winter than he’d ever been in his life. Vowed to NEVER get one again. And he didn’t. They work for some people, Not so well for others. Hope you’re one of the lucky ones.
