Stab complete. Nurse was nice. Sitting around for 15 minutes and looking forward to getting back under my blanket.
Good chance I'll get side effects because I'd put off the booster for too long. I'm not usually afraid of needles unless it's an injection. Then they fuck with me. Blood tests? Ez pz go ahead here's my veins they're very visible (I get compliments all the time).
Injections? What if something goes wrong? What if my arm doesn't stop bleeding? What if I get side effects? I'll do it next week! doesn't do it next week
Unlike my other big irrational fear, I can just shut this one off by reminding myself that that's stupid and I'm being an idiot. Then I just avoid looking at it and don't feel a thing.
The fear has returned a bit now that I'm sitting for 11 of 15 minutes and every slight feeling could be a lethal side effect woah aaaa!
Damn, me, if only you were in basically one of the best places to experience a side effect right now and have nothing to worry about even if you are right.
Okay that's my ramble. The Morning Show is on and I needed to focus on less unpleasant things like serious side effects.
Go get yer shots. Don't be a bad like I was.
