We got our flushots the other day. I\u2019m a huge fan of the pharmacy flushot set-up: easy in, easy out and we can huddle together in the \u201cshot room\u201d and jockey for who-goes-first position.\u00a0 So fun.<\/p>\n
Hubby and Sissy walk into the drug store and immediately beeline for the pharmacy section in the back. Sonny on the other hand prefers to mosey his way to Shotsville.\u00a0 Why rush when you can wander around and look at all the fascinating \u201cAs Seen on TV\u201d stuff?!<\/p>\n
I was delayed in the car for a few minutes after everyone got out, so as I was doing my own beeline thing, I glimpsed Sonny staggering down one of the middle aisles, arms out and knees stiff, looking for all the world like Frankenstein playing Dance Dance Revolution.\u00a0 Huh, very curious, but not surprising.<\/em><\/p>\n When Sonny finally caught up to us in the pharmacy area (where we\u2019d filled out all the shot paperwork and had been waiting for him for 10 minutes), I asked him what Lurch Fest 2018 in aisle 5 was all about.<\/p>\n He replied with a usual fun fact (most likely gleaned from re-runs of The Office); \u201cDid you know that if you clench your butt, it takes stress off your knees.\u201d<\/p>\n Oh? Good to know.\u00a0 And are your knees under a lot of stress lately?!<\/em><\/p>\n At this point the pharmacist comes to get us and the flushots begin. As soon as I got my shot, my arm started to hurt and the pain immediately migrated to my shoulder blade.\u00a0 I mentioned this in an aside to Sonny.<\/p>\n Now you have to understand that in addition to the endless font of fun facts, another charming personality quirk of Sonny\u2019s is that he comes up with the most outrageous explanation for things, and that promptly becomes the full and complete truth. He takes after his mother in that respect, she said proudly.<\/em><\/p>\n His explanation for the crawling arm pain? A nanovirus.\u00a0 You see, instead of injecting me with a flushot, the pharmacist actually unleashed a billion nanobots into my veins.<\/p>\n Why yes, this DOES seem like the most likely explanation. The nanobot struggle is real, people.\u00a0 No wonder why Sonny\u2019s knees are stressed!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We got our flushots the other day.
