Immunizations!

Hi! I'm back with a terrifying story... IMMUNIZATIONS!! (Girl screams in backround) Yeah, we got our immunizations two weeks ago. But I survived. I was really nervous, and everyone was sweating and had cold hands and feet. When they were called to the staff room to get the shots and left the classroom, most of our faces were white and were sweaty and had looks of terror on their faces. But they came back into the classroom all happy and cheerful with a lollipop in their mouth. Then it was my turn. I left the room just like everyone else. Scared. When I got in the staff room, there was a couch and we could lounge there until they called us up. We played Jenga there for a while, and then we were having lots of fun, until the nurse called me up. I smiled to hide my terror, and I went and sat down in the chair. I told her I was pretty good with needles. I wasn't really that okay with them. She rolled up my sleeve and held the needle a centimeter away from my arm. She told me to breathe out. I didn't look. It was scary enough to feel the pain. I didn't want to have to see it happen. I looked straight ahead, not down at my arm, and breathed out. Then the needle went in. It pierced through my skin and in went the vaccine. It felt like she was sucking out all my energy and blood. I felt myself go kind of queasy for a second, then regained my strength and looked at my arm. It was fine. You couldn't even see the hole. I smiled at the nurse to show her that I was still alive. I repeated that process once more. I was glad to go, but she really scared me when she told me:

"If you feel any dizziness or nausea, or if you feel queasy in any kind of way, sit down on the floor immediately."

That really scared me. She said it with serious eyes. I wasn't queasy at first, but after she told me, I think I felt a bit queasy. So I sat on the couch for a few minutes just to be sure, then I headed for the classroom with my lollipop.

As I came in through the door, everyone looked at me with a did-you-survive face.

I smiled triumphantly and tapped on the shoulder of the next student to be taken down. The student smiled weakly and asked me a few times if it hurt, then left the class.

I have to admit, the immunizations weren't as bad as I thought they were... but that still doesn't mean that I'm going to be okay with needles from now on!

Well, I'll see you next time with another post~!
