Flu Shots

Sweetthing and I had an appointment at the quack's office to get our Flu Shots at 1:30 this afternoon. We were there a few minutes early and at 1:30 a nurse called us back and stuck a damn thermometer in our mouths and proceeded to get the needles ready. Well, I never have problems with temperature because I peg out the normal 98.6F damn near every time. But sweetthing has this problem. Her normal temperature ain't normal-she runs a little cooler than most folks at 97.9 to 98.1. Anything over that she is running a fever. Well, it was a new nurse who just couldn't understand that. The poor thing was using those throw away thermometer things and went through three of them before sweetthing started to get hot under the collar. I told sweetthing to just calm down and we would ask for one they could stick up her butt.

The damn nurse thought I was serious until I cracked up and then she took off out the door. In a couple of minutes she was back with the charge nurse who knew us and she just gave us the damn shots. She appreciated my humor and said the youngster said I was weird. I appreciate that at least the youngster was smart enough to recognize that.
