OUCHIE.....

i got all my shots and tests i needed on friday for my immigration physical. to get tested for HIV and RPR wasn't so bad, they just had to draw up some blood. since i have never had a tetanus shot before i never knew what to expect. and now i know why i have never had one...they hurt! :( the neddle goes in your deltoid muscle and once they start to inject it, it stings really bad. it wasn't sore so much until later that night. especially when you roll over to sleep on that side. that's when i really felt the pain!! even last night to sleep on that side hurt. it was pretty swollen yesterday but now that is mostly gone. now it just has a bump where the needle had been injected, like a mosquito bite. and to make it worse since this was my first time having a tetanus shot, they have to do it in 3 doses. the next one will be one month from fri and the last dose will be 6 months after the 2nd. to really bum me out, a month from last fri will be my birthday, oct 16th. since my b-day is on a sun i know they won't be given me the shot on my actually birthday. but it's going to be either before my birthday (fri oct 14th) and then i will be in pain and be sore for my b-day weekend or it's gonna be after my birthday (mon oct 17th) and then all that happiness from the weekend of just celebrating will be shot...literally!!! :) speaking of birthdays, yesterday was tony's mom birthday. who knows how old she is?!?! :) since tony wasn't here on her birthday we will take her to celebrate on a day he is home. tony's sister and her husband took her and tony's dad out last night for dinner at a seafood restaurant. i don't know if she got any gifts. we got her a card and will get her a present at the same time we take her to dinner. she says she isn't much for celebrating or doing anything on her birthday, but i am sure she had a good time. she is probably just saying that to be modest!! :) there ain't much more to say for right now. i gots to get studying and practicing dosage calculations for my test tomorrow. tata
