Shot time
I went this past week to the Health department to receive my shots.....holy cow I am really going!!! Excited and nervous all at once. I checked in at the front desk and Michelle called me back. She said "ok so where are you going and what will you be doing" I explained to her the whole thing. She went on to explain the various precautions that I should be taking and what shots I will need. She gave me a great tip - put the US embassy 800 number taped in my passport. UGH - really I thought in my head. I can just picture it now....me sitting in a room with just a table and a folding chair with one light hanging over my head. I quickly erased those thoughts in my head. "I will be safe I will be safe" is my mantra. She then started in on the shots. I got Hep. A/B (in the same vile - it was cheaper that way), a flu shot (which I have never had before), and she handed me a paper bag that said "refrigerate" on it. She said that this would be my typhoid pills - I need to take them (4 total) every other day and it has to stay in the refrigerator. She also said that I would be needing a script for Malaria (chlroaquin) which from what I understand gives some people crazy dreams (sounds fun LOL). So now I am ready!!! I am really going!!
