Flu Shots

Recently Vicki Gabereau was a guest on Shelagh Rodgers' Sounds Like Canada show on CBL and she said that every time there is a news story on TV about whatever strain of flu, they show a picture of some poor little kid or some elderly person getting that needle stuck into their arm and it really upsets her.  She wants them to stop showing that with each flu reference.  It makes her cringe, to see it.  "Stop doing that," she commands.

Teehee.  When I was taking pictures the day I helped out at the community center when flu shots were given, one of the pictures I took was of my nurse friend, Carol, giving someone a shot.  Since I get allergy shots every two weeks, I guess it just doesn't bother me about shots as it would have before I had to have them so often.

I'm remembering now that when I was a child, I would be deathly afraid of getting a shot.  I was afraid to the point of almost being sick over it.  And now, I just take it in stride, my shots or yours, it's all matter-of-fact to me.  But I have not "published" my photo of Carol giving the shot!
