Shots

So, I got my shots!

The folks at the Health Department were remarkably friendly, helpful and 

genuinely interested in my trip to Africa.

The Doctor told me I was a blessing!  

How sweet is that?

I started to cry.

She said, "You are a blessing.  What you are doing is blessed.  You are a good girl."

It made me cry more.

"no tears sweetie."

"I just can't believe I am going!"

They told me to look away.

I told them I had 3 daughters naturally, shots didn't scare me.

"you really should look away."

"I saw my daughter's chest ripped open, BARE HANDED, by her surgeon.  I saw the INSIDE of her chest cavity.  Had to clean it and pack it.  I PROMISE, I'm cool."  (and tough, if I do say so myself!)

"oh.... I guess so!"
