I Will Not Get Typhoid
Vaccinations are cool and not cool.
Cool
I am no longer at risk for...
1) Typhoid
2) Hepatitis A
3) Tetanus
Not Cool
My right arm hurts a lot (1 shot)
My left arm hurts even more than my right arm (2 shots)
The Cat Empire in Boston last night with Alki, Christi and Jill. Oh yeah, there was a lot of dancing, with a lot of upper arm/shoulder grabbing, followed by a lot of painful yelps, then a lot of, "oh-shit-your-arm-I-forgot"s.
I am also having an embarrassing amount of trouble picking things up, pulling doors open, stretching, cutting food, etc.
Flu like symptoms as side effects from the vaccines, mainly swollen glands and fatigue.
(Very similar to symptoms of not getting enough sleep. Um, I guess it's 5am. It could have nothing to do with the vaccines.)
I also got a prescription for malaria pills. I start taking one pill a week, one week before I go, and then continue with that until five weeks after I return. And with that plan, I won't get malaria! Not even at elephant park! Awesome!
Tomorrow... an entry that doesn't have to do with diseases!

beth- cool it with the shots! you could travel the freaking oregon trail with all of those vaccinations- just watch out for the snakebites.
are you down with the previously quoted s.k. ticket prices? I think I'm cool with it, I just wanna ask my pop a few questionoids before handing over the dough.
