What made you smile today ?

Having my tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, Hep A and typhoid vaccinations ready for my trip, when the nurse calls me brave for having needles. I told her she was sweet and had a giggle at the needless soothing like I was a 3 year old girl. Darn, I shoulda asked for a lollipop. Only 7 more needles to go.

Wow! where are you going? I'm shocked you have to have so many!! Typhoid is in tablet form now as i just picked mine up for my trip, so is Anti Malaria. I only needed one Jab for my trip so im interested to know what other 7 you need.

South America - Columbia, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina - down in the bowl/jungle. (Don't really need too much for Chile or the mountains there).

Just had my Yellow fever today. The rest I do there.
Hep B (2 separate needles)
Rabies (3 separate needles)
Hep A (Final shot at 6 months leaves you covered for life)
Malaria tablets when there (Hope you didn't get the weekly ones, they mostly lead to paranoia and stuff with your head 😉 )

Where are you off to?


What made me smile - International license done.
 
Coming back in here after months, seeing a certain face and realizing they still annoy the crap out of me. Some things never change :lol:

Lots of high risk places there.
Funny how they do things different in different countries, initially for the Caribbean we only needed 3 shots, and just had the booster. But those 3 covered everything, sod having all those needles in your arm :shock1:
Anti malaria cost a small fortune! We take them a week before we go, one a week whilst there and for a month on return. The daily ones make you sick etc 😉.
Decided against rabies as we are staying in a 5* resort so im hoping the patrol keep any mad dogs out 😉:lol:
Caribbean again for us, the 10 hour plane journey kills but all worth it in the end.


OT: Washing summer clothes in Autumn and realising my Vac isn't that far away now 🙂

That every day is a confirmation that I really have found my 'one'. He is a pain in the arse sometimes and I am a pain in his arse sometimes but he is the only person I respect and will never utter the words 'Fuck off' too and for me, that speaks volumes.

Doesn't mean I don't bloody think it though. 😀
