The flu shot


This is what I was doing yesterday.  Getting the flu shot.  I went to the doctor for my thyroid medicine, and left with a shot.  So, the shot is not what bothered me.  It was a couple hours later when I started feeling nauseated, dizzy, and had the worse stomach ache.  I didn't know the side effects of getting the shot could be so bad.   All last night I kept running to the bathroom.   Luckily it only lasted about 15 hrs., but still.   Next time, I might take the chances of getting the flu, rather than having someone inject me with it.  And no, this is not me in the pic!

That's why I am scared to get a flu shot!! I've heard of that happening to other people, so I've always been a little hesitant... call me if you're feeling crappy again!

Hey Chelsea!!

Does your Bishop know how stressed you are? You should tell him, y'know. :-)

Hey, I haven't checked the site in a while, and have to say that Rylee is amazing! What a great little girl!!! Man, I wish we had one more girl. We might even try for one, except that there is a chance we could get another boy, and three boys would kill me (if you have any doubts on this, see my most recent blog entry). Tell Josh he is lucky just to have a bunch of daddy's girls.

Hope you are well and happy! Take Care!!

Chels-
I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the email on Lisa. Yes, of course I know her. :) Doesn't everyone? I love that you get so close to everyone while being away from home. It gives me hope!

and that is why i will never get a flu shot!

Megan said...

that sucks! I can't believe you got the flu from the shot that "prevents" it!

The boys Dr. always looks at me like I'm crazy when I refuse the flu shot. In the last 5 years we've only gotten the flu bug once (this year) so I'm definitely stickin with the odds.

I had NO side-effects. That's so sad!! But I do promise you this it is worth the 15 hours of not feeling well....the influenza virus is the WORST ever!! I had it and it was 103 fever and chills for 5 days, I thought I would die. I get a flu shot every year now.
