What R you doing today?

[Hokapsig]

I had an allergy to poison ivy REALLY bad as a young child, so I had to have shots in Butt twice a month for 2 years. I swear the doctor went outside and tapped the needle on the concrete to get it nice and dull because I remember a lot of pain. I had to have the air injection in the fourth grade and when they put it to my arm, I flinched causing a scratch type injury which drew some blood on my arm (very traumatic for an 8 year old kid).

I dont' pass out - I'm just a big baby....

Try being a diabetic who hates needles......and yes I have tattoos...I don't know why, it isn't the same thing, I don't mind tattoos.

........ .....I have to give myself a B-12 injection once a week.

Do you have severe tremors?

I swear the doctor went outside and tapped the needle on the concrete to get it nice and dull....

My ex is a nurse and used to bring the flu shot home from the office for me...I thought tapping the needle on the counter first was part of the process?

 

[grapeman]

I am deathly afraid of needles since I was a young boy, so I have to be on death's doorstep before I willingly take an injection.

I'm with you there hop. I always dread flu shots. I asked my oncologist a few weeks ago if I should get a flu shot before we start any treatment regimen for the canceer. He said he was glad I brought that up and yes he wanted me to get that along with a pneumoia shot. Me and my big mouth. I got both of them right then and in the same arm. After being scanned, x-rayed, poked, prodded, sliced and diced for a couple months now, the shots weren't so bad after all. I have had to ask if I could lay down a couple times now when they were inserting IV's and had trouble finding a good vein. Thursday hopefully I will find out what stage the follicular lymphoma is so we can develop the treatment plan.

Sorry for straying from the path about the flu shot, but I wanted you to see it isn't all that bad when faced with worse things. Get your shots yearly and you will get less sick.

Bev and I are celebrating our 47th Wedding Anniversay. December 29, 1965, "a date which will live in Ecstasy!" Home on Leave, I recall that it was unseasonably warm (in the mid 60's) in Pittsburgh that day and the Priest saying that such a beautiful day was a herald of good things to come. He was right!

 

[Julie]

Congrats Rocky! 47 years is something to be very proud of.

 

[grapeman]

Let the celebrations begin Rocky and Mrs Rocky! May you be blessed with another 47 years together.

Do you have severe tremors?

No. My doctor says that I'm B-12 deficient. He said that leads to dementia later in life. I already have a hard enough time remembering stuff now!! I have to try and stave off it getting any worse. The energy boost is a nice affect as well.

Congrats Rocky!!!! My wife and I just celebrated our 10th this year!

 

[Julie]

Tremors is another sign of being deficient in b12. My father-in-law has to have b-12 shots monthly because his hands shake so bad. My husband has tremors as well but not that severe, he just needs to take extra b-12 vitamins.

Off to my Great Grandma's 90th birthday party today

Will be nice to get home again, so i can go back to bed!

 

[Boatboy24]

Happy Anniversary Rocky!

 

[Hokapsig]

Congrats Rocky!!1

Feeling 100% better today. It's a wonder what a gallon of OJ, a couple of Bayer aspirin and bunch of sleep will do for a case of the flu. I already used the snowblower to clear the ENTIRE driveway.

Getting a shot in the arm or an IV still wigs me out. When I had my lens replacement surgery, they started an IV, but whatever they put in the IV, I want a 6 pack. They then gave me a shot in the eye and I didn't feel a thing on one eye or remember the shot in the second eye....

 

[Runningwolf]

Congratulations Rocky!!

 

[reefman]

Congrats Rocky and Bev.
You have my wife and I beat by 3 years, we were married in May of 1968......we were just children!

 

[Pumpkinman]

Rocky, Congrats!!!! It's nice to see that we aren't the only happily married couple out there,22 years going strong!

I'm making Gnocchi alla Bolognese today, what else is a good ole Italian guy supposed to do on a snowy day...lol
My wife is so spoiled....lol...all the wine she can drink, and a culinary grad for a husband!

 

[Boatboy24]

Is this a blueberry dragon's blood? Looks good!

My wife and I are powering through the cherry I made. I need to start another one very soon.

Just racked my very first wine into the Vadai.

I tasted my first wine to go into my Vadai. It's been three weeks and it needs more oak. Will wait another week.
