So,about a month ago, we woke up around 3am to the cats going freaky, running all over, chasing something... turns out it was a bat! Long story short, Faith called the health unit worried about the cats and bats in our house and we end up needing to get rabies shots, all of us. Apparently, one wouldn't know if one had been bitten in one's sleep, so we were all treated as if we'd been bitten by a rabid bat...
LESSON 1. Keep the bat if you catch one.
- they want to test it... preferrably dead.
anyways, we stopped the DR. from leaving early on a friday afternoon so we could get our shots... Silas got one in the thigh and one in the bum, Faith had one in the arm and 3 in the backside, and lucky me got one in the arm and 6 in the ol' rear unit.
LESSON 2. Dr's seem to be better at needles than Nurses.
that was one thing, but we've been back 4 times for a shot in the arm plus one more time this friday. The Dr. gave the first ones, given the tender media he shot into, it went very well. The nurse has given every one since, and they have all hurt... I think he's quicker with the needle than the nurse, but frig, she's got a lot more practice and it sucks every time.
LESSON 3. Rabies Vaccinations cost alot, just not me.
The DR. showed us the bill that came with the vaccines. Apparently to vaccinate 2 1/2 people costs somewhere in the ballpark of $2884.00... thank God I live in Canada...
anyways, take what I've taught you and apply it to your lives in the appropriate manner...
cheers.
