The first shot is done. Today, after a few reminders, she finally got the seasonal flu shot. We don’t actually know which flu she had although the assumption is that it was the piggy flu. I do know that when F’s body sees germs it joins right in and before you know it, it’s disco fever. In the last eight months she has had the full on flu twice and two colds. In a few weeks she can get the other flu shot. This is what she had to say about her first shot…
“Why do some shots sting more than others?”
“I would rather take malaria pills than the flu shot.”
“A student in my class got the flu shot and then had a fever and had to miss a day of school. I might get a fever. The nurse said so.”
“I don’t feel well already. You know that the only time I got the flu shot, I got the flu.”
“I have this kink in my neck and now it is worse from the flu shot.”
“Someone at work got the shot and her whole arm swelled up.”
“I am going to have to take Tylenol at work today.”
After everything we have been through in the past few weeks with sickness, I didn’t even know what to say to her. You just gotta love her though.

I really hope I can meet both of you someday, so I can laugh in person. This is so funny and I can hear Chicken in this story!

Laughing over here. That darling F, she cracks me up. Make sure you don’t tell her that I had a fever and neck ache this week the day after my seasonal flu shot.
