Panic ensued. My birthday was coming up soon. Which meant, among other things…that my medical insurance would be expiring. So, I rushed to get an appointment for a physical ASAP…and by ASAP i mean…within the last few days before my birthday I got my butt into that doctor’s office. As unpleasant as the doctor’s office usually is for most people, it wasn’t that bad for me. My doctor was amazing and made everything a breeze….everything was dandy…UNTIL I had to get the tetanus shot. She said I was due for a new shot, so she scheduled it. The shot went wonderfully, only the tiniest prick of the needle (the guy did an AWESOME job) and I felt like I had conquered needles. The next day when I woke up, my arm hurt so much! It was like I had worked that arm out way too much and the muscles were sore. Literally anything that hit it, or if I flexed my arm, or anything brushed by that little circle bandaid…I shrieked with pain. Hugs made me cringe. That next morning I went to get my blood test…and they took………get ready for it…….. THREE VILES of my blood. I’m not even allowed to donate blood!
I’ve made it a habit to NOT look at the needles or make myself aware of anything that is happening to my arms. So, I laughed nervously at the guy as he joked and stuck that needle in my arm. After he finished, he smiled big at me and said I did a great job…no lollipop though. shucks. I guess that policy is only valid for children. I say they should give them to everyone. I mean, afterall…I was a pretty good sport.
Unfortunately, now my left arm and right arm were victims of the terrible needle. But, the good news is………I lived to tell you all about my story. 
On a more positive note…as it is my birthday tomorrow (or I guess today) My family took me out to dinner to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. GREAT food. I’m scheduled to photograph Gabriel and Maria’s wedding on my birthday, so it just made more sense to go out the day before. I’m excited to experience this wedding at the Ambassador Campus!Should be SPLENDID! I’m gonna enjoy my birthday to the fullest while I get some amazing shots!
Here are some photos to help illustrate the events I have mentioned….
