Jan 6

but I'm getting symptoms again...so we'll see what they do tomorrow.

I felt like such a jerk at the last one...I almost burst into tears after it! Don't know why...it doesn't hurt that bad...it's the freakiness of the whole thing.

I'm sorry you had to get them, Marthe. I know what you mean about the worry being worse.

All the crap that we have to get done to us that is much much worse...and this little shot makes us fret for some reason!
