The others, I just sucked in as best I could.
I closed my eyes and covered them with both hands. Tightly.
“I’m ready,” I said firmly. “Let’s get this show on the road.”
The pain was excruciating.
I felt like I was going to pass out. “Paper-bag! Paper-bag!” I gasped. ‘Quick, I’m hypeventilating!”
I uncovered my eyes.
The room was spinning.
“Doctor, Doctor!” I screamed. “Is this normal. Is this what’s supposed to happen?”
“Mrs. Matlock, please to be calm. I have not even given the flu injection yet.”
Oh.
Ummm.
Oh.
Blush, blush.

So clever, you are sooo dramatic!
funny! that would so be my husband! He can't even look at a needle on tv.
Ha ha wuss! I had a flu shot, shingles shot, pneumonia shot, tetanus booster and a Vitamin "D" and A Vitamin "B-12" shot in one office visit.
LOL, but I gotta say what a baby.
Sounds like me when I used to have to take iron injections when I was pregnant. Those suckers hurt bad!
Love it!
Hope the paper bag worked. Those flu shots hurt!
I just got mine today.
;)
too funny! stay well.
So I gather you don't like shots?
oh man!
Didn't expect that ending!
Great story! It is too cute because when I got my flu shot the nurse said how little of it you need today to work! Technology is amazing medically for some things, for others not so much!
LOL....I'm just happy you are not one of those dramatic types. :)
