From the chalkboard on the side of a pub this past weekend listing
the day's lineup. Note the last matchup...
Immunity
Four little bandages on my arm from four injections for four amazing diseases!
Combine this with a big charge for airfare on my credit card statement, and a trip to Kenya is imminent!
Sort of imminent. Two-months-from-now imminent. Very excited, though temporarily sore in this arm.
Talking with the doctor before the shots, I realized my awareness of my own immunization history is somewhat poor. I feel lucky that I don't have to be vigilant with regards to my polio booster, for example. But I feel uneasy at the thought that I tend to give so little thought to my own medical history.
Getting older means worrying about this crap more.
