[hag-o-hags]

got my therona shot, FINALLY, after being stymied and waylaid SO. MANY. TIMES.

For the record, 1) this is the first one I've had since getting the plague. 2), boosters two and three were absolutely no big thing. But 3), the first shot left me in a feverish, sweating heap praying for a merciful death for the 12 sickest hours of my LIFE. Which leads me to 4), the flu shot absolutely kicked my ass this year in a way it never has before, and at 9 hours out from getting stabbed I think I should prepare my last will and testament.

So anyway I have an appointment with Rheumatology next week.
