Hi! My name is Shawn, I'll be your pincushion today...

by blondtwin Email

That's what I felt like saying this morning when, at the medical clinic, they proceeded to give me the flu shot, hepatitis b shot, typhoid shot, anthrax shot and smallpox shot.

I don't know that I've ever been so close to fainting in my life.  I'm not usually a fainter.  But my vision was dimming with those little bright spots that were zooming toward the center of my vision.  I'm afraid that I was THIS close to either upchucking my non-existent breakfast or falling over to the feet of the Army's equivalent of a Navy Corpsman.

I feel okay now, but, it was a pretty near thing for a good minute or so.  Ah the joy of deployment.
