Shots is the name of the game

Alright, I know no one likes to get shots. No one likes to have a needle stuck in them and a weak version of a disease injected into them for pleasure. Well, someone might, and if you do then...there might be a cause for concern.

On Friday I had to get a polio booster. I was fine for a few hours, and then my arm felt like somebody slugged me real hard. Yesterday I had to go back into get a tetanus shot because they were out on Friday. Man, I am glad I didn't get them both at the same time, because now it feels like somebody punched me really hard in the other arm. This time it's my dominant arm so it's much more noticeable. BOO.

Most people know tetanus shots hurt, right, but polio? I wasn't expecting that. I'd say on the scale of shots that hurt polio are the same as tetanus. When you're a kid they don't give it to you in a shot form anymore, they do drops. So why do they give shots to adults for the booster?

I created a scale for you, so you can see the level of hurtness in a shot.

There, now you can understand how much my arm currently hurts, and you can look forward to getting any of these shots in the future. At least there won't be any pretense of oh, it doesn't hurt that bad, because I'm telling you, it does. It does hurt that bad. It hurts when you sleep on that shoulder and when you have to use your arms a lot to do simple every day stuff like drive your car. Dear shots I have one word for you: LAME!
