That Friday Feeling

Well it's Friday again.... Hurrah!!! My working week is done, and I'm really quite glad about that. Although it does mean that I only have 3 days left before I have to go and get an injection. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but I really have the fear when it comes to injections. You see the problem is I've only ever had 2 injections in my life. You may be thinking that for someone of my age (unfortunately I left my twenties behind last year) 2 is quite a small number of injections to have had. Well for this I blame my father. You see my dad has a condition that goes by the name of serum sickness, which basically means he's allergic to the serum's used in vaccinations. The thing with this condition is that it's hereditary, hence me only ever having 2 injections. In short I'm ok if TB or Polo come calling, but all the basic childhood diseases such as measles etc would have a rare old time as I have no immunity to them at all. This is doubly confounded by the fact that I am an infuriatingly healthy person and have only every had chicken pox ......Oops !

Anyhow back to the problem at hand. Not only do I have to have the dreaded needle but because of the old serum sickness thinngy I have to have an entirely synthetic one (just to be on the safe side, my dad nearly died because of this condition of his) which means I have the physical pain to contend with (my pain threshold is so low you have to dig for it !) I also have to pay £60.00! Quite frankly I think parting with the money is going to be more painful than the injection. I think next yearI'm going to go to Devon or Cornwall....they don't have Yellow Fever there do they ????
