The title says it all. I went to the traveler's clinic today, to get a couple shots I needed. I was expecting six, according to my internet research, but I only got two, plus an oral typhoid series, because the other three aren't even given in the US. Hmm ... so, I'll have some interesting decisions to make once I get there, about whether getting involved with the Russian healthcare system is worth it or not. But no worries, the three aren't absolutely neccessary; I have the very important ones finished and that's what matters.
But, I also learned a lesson, as mentioned above. I got a shot in each shoulder, which wasn't too terrible. They hurt more than normal shots, but afterwards, I felt great. No pain, no nothing. I drove myself home, still feeling good. Then, I tried to put the sun visor back up. Not so much. Seven hours later, I can hardly move either arm. I wish you could see me trying to type; it's quite funny. So much for getting a lot done tonight. It's just a dull throb, and I convince myself I'm just being pathetic and reach for something - at which point it becomes ... very painful.
Hopefully, I'll have my arms back in time to wash my hair tomorrow morning (and pack).
In the last year, I've met the most wonderful people in the most random places. Today was just another day: the lady who did my immunizations was extremely nice and so encouraging. Did I mention that she was very encouraging? Because she was. Many many thanks, Carly!
Seven days and counting!!
