So yesterday I had to make a stop at the health dept, I was cleaning some stuff out of the basement Thur & got stuck in the hand by a rusty nail. My Wife said that's pretty deep, you probably need a tetanus shot.
Yeah, I have been long overdue for one but putting it off. So went in, the receptionist said I needed to come back on Wed, when they give out shots. I told her I probably shouldn't wait that long since I just got stuck on Thurs & I already put it off one day. Receptionist said "but Wed is when we have the open clinic for shots."
The nurse standing behind her said "wait a minute, when was the last time you had a booster?" I said the last one I remember getting, the stuff still had to be refrigerated, it was thick & and after the injection it felt like there was a marble in your butt/arm for 2 - 3 hours.
Nurse said I needed one stat, she told the receptionist to check me in & so I got that done. They're not as bad as they used to be, but your arm still hurts after you get the injection. But I'd rather have that then the consequences of tetanus.
