I Am Vaccinated !

I have been vaccinated with the H1N1 vaccine.

I was nervous about it. As an adult I have never had a flu shot. I also have asthma. I get sick twice a year. I usually get a respiratory infection. (I did late week!) Well, I have heard some scary stories about women my age getting this flu and having major complications because they, too, have asthma.

Well, the DH heard about this clinic and honestly, I did not want to go. Well, a friend of mine has PH and she found out about the clinic and she wanted to go. I did not have any substitute teacher calls. I felt like the universe was telling me something. Plus, I really did not want my friend to stand alone!

So I went. we arrived about 50 minute early and there were already over 100 people in line. We took our spots in line and waited. The line was really fast once the doors opened. We had our shot by 12:30.

I did this for my DH. I went for my friend. I am still nervous I will have some side effects over the next two days, but I am glad I had both of those people to "force" me into the decision..... because I also did this for myself!
