Okay, the one thing I'm not looking forward to- Shots!

When you travel out of the country, you sometimes have to get shots. Well, guess what? We get to get shots soon to get ready for Ethiopia. Ughhh!

I don't know what shots we're taking, why, or even what the side effects are, but we have to take them. (Maybe this will be my next post)!

I've had some bad experiences with shots. When I got a tetanus shot, (don't ever get one of those!), I woke up the next day with a numb arm and felt completely nauseous. Mom took me to the doctor. I don't know how she did, I felt horrible and could barely move. The doctor said it was normal. It would've been nice to know that when I got the shot or even over the phone later when Mom called in. I hope this is only a side effect for this shot. I don't want to go through that again. Bob later got a tetanus shot and although he felt awful, I don't think it hit him as hard. Mom thinks she remembers Dad getting a bad headache from his tetanus shot! Mom didn't get a bad reaction because she didn't get the shot after seeing how we reacted!

You have my hopes for no shot side effects! <3

I totally forgot to fix your header! I'll try to send it to you tonight!

Yes, I don't like shots at all either! Hope you don't have any side affects like the one you described.
