an appointment for Monday morning. To get shots. Typhoid, Hep A diphtheria, yellow fever, meningitis.

Anticipatory Ow. The people of Haiti had better appreciate this- I HATE getting shots.

Sympathy

[markiv1111]

I'm with you on shots -- but I want to point something out, in with my being about eighteen years your senior. Needle technology has improved a *lot* in the last 50 years. The shots I got for traveling to Brazil (where I lived for two years before the much-better-remembered Argentina) were excruciating; ones I've had in the last five years or so, nowhere near as bad. So I guess I'm giving you a sympathetic, "It could be worse."

Thanks for reminding me.

I'd forgotten how old you are.

There's a shot for meningitis? Why doesn't everyone get that one?

Pretty sure the shot will be way better than the alternative. Unless typhoid, whooping cough or yellow fever sound like fun to you. :)
