Tis the Season

Tis the season to be sick, fa la la la la la la la la. Or however many freaking la's there are. Last week, we went to this amazing YW/YM production at the Conference Center. We had to be in our seats by 6:00 p.m. and I was running a little late. So, in order to be there on time, I had to run in the freezing cold and we all know that being out of shape and running don't mix, let alone being out of shape and running in sub zero temperatures. My throat started to get sore that night, but I ignored it. The next day, it was even more sore, but I still ignored it because I thought it was just from running in the cold. Saturday came and I was miserable, to say the least. After I got off work, I headed straight for InstaCare. I knew I had strep throat, I just wanted the drugs to make me feel better! So, I go back and the nurse swabs my aching throat, yadda yadda yadda. The doc comes in and shockingly pronouces that I have strep and then proceeds to ask me if I would like a shot or the pills. Being such the frugal woman that I am, I opted for the shot because it wouldn't cost me any extra money. The doc leaves and I take off my jacket so my arms won't be covered when I get the shot. A few minutes later, a male nurse comes in and closes the door. I'm thinking, "What is this guy doing?" Then it dawns on me. The shot is going into my bum. Oh crap. My bum is not a pretty sight, and I don't want anyone looking at it, let alone sticking a needle in it, but the nurse all ready had the shot ready and everything. So, I got the shot, and it stung! And I mean STUNG! My poor rear end was sore for like 3 days! I couldn't sleep on my side or even cross my legs. However, my throat felt completely fine in about 24 hours! So, this morning Nate woke up with a sore throat. Hee hee hee, I can't wait for him to get the shot in his rear. :)
