Owwwwie! it didn't hurt until like 15 min after the shot...ouchie!

But no flu for me this year!! *knock on wood the shot kicks in before i get it! lol* :mdrmed:

pssh, flu shots

i just wash my hands at near-OCD frequency

and stop kissing sick people :D:

I don't remember getting a needle in me for the last 21 years at least. Except when the dentist is injecting novacaine(am I spelling it right?) into my gums which I don't enjoy all that much. I've only gotten the the 5 hour flu once. Which I don't believe it was a flu. I just felt really really dizzy when I was standing...couldn't even goto church either. :)

I got mine this morning as well... I never did like needles.

We don't get shots any longer. We get some damned spray-it-up-your-nostril-so-it-drains-down-your-throat-and-face nastiness. I'd rather have the needle.

hahahahaha, those i hear arn't so good. It's the live virus so you're more likely to get sick from them! screw that!!

The needle wasn't TOO bad...I think i hurt my friends hand more than the needle hurt my arm.

He told me later that he was more worried i was going to yank my arm away and freak out...but i was all cool about it. lol

Then i made him draw me a smilie face on my band aid. haha

Of the 14 years I have been in the military, the one year I didn't get the flu shot I got the flu. And of all places.... It was while I was on the ship in Dec 02. In a 3 week period over 600 ppl got the flu.

Got mine today at school. The kids in class had me show them the puncture wound. Many didnt know I had a tattoo and were more interested in that when I rolled up my sleeve. They didnt think I was cool enough for ink, can you imagine?
Good thing I didnt get the Doc to draw a smiley face, Morgan, or my cool teacher rating would've nose-dived!

hey now! My smilie face was awesome! It made me that much more adorable! :p

This thread is worthless without pictures. :cwm27:

Isn't that true of all Morgan threads though? :D:

i should have had phlip take pictures of it getting done...it would have been priceless

Getting pictures taken of when you go to the doctors office is great. Here is when I had my blood tested. :Eyecrazy:

And no, it wasn't to test for any diseases or anything. It is for some medicine I take. :nono:

maybe i'll take a pic next time i go donate blood, they make me open and close my fist to pump more blood into the bag!!!

Man! that blood looks pretty dark. You need some more O2 man!

O2 is oxygen right? How does one go about obtaining more of it?

It might just be the vials or crappy camera that made the color that way. It was a while ago.

lol, don't stress about it, i'm sure you're fine :) hehe

But WOW, thats REALLY gross...Needles freak me out yo

Needles don't freak me out so much, but I do have a fear of falling into a bathtub FULL of syringes and filled with rubbing alcohol. Dunno why..... :crazy:
