The one where I decide death might be a better option (or How I experienced the Swine Flu in 12 hours)
People like to sneeze at me with their mouths uncovered, and I don’t understand why. On Monday, I went to Target to get the H1N1 vaccine as a precautionary measure. I usually don’t believe in vaccines, but I figured that it’s better than death. At 9pm last night, it was like someone flipped a switch. One after another I experienced the following: nausea, fever, chills, soreness, redness and an upset stomach. The high fever had me up every 2 hours. By 9am this morning, the flip was switched back off. I’ve lost just over 3 pounds since last night and I feel mostly fine now, except my insides still hurt a little. Curled up into a tight ball in bed early this morning, I cursed the pharmacist who told me to take a couple of Tylenol if I experience a slight fever, but that the chances of having side effects were rare. It was at this moment that I made up my mind that next time I will take my chances with death. I’ve met her twice before and she seems nice.
