Once Upon a Friday Afternoon

February 6th, 2009.

Once upon my end to the most dreadful week I've experienced... Right when I got home from school expecting to go and collapse on bed from utter exhaustion... I was instead told to get ready to go to the doctor... In my head I was cursing at the oh so perfect timing of this appointment at which I am to attend to... I arrive at the doctor's office expecting to be taken in right away to get this thing over with... but I found out that I never had an appointment set up, so that meant for the next hour I had to sit there and wait for a certain time they can sqeeze me in the schedule... Like I said I was exhausted... I fell asleep on the chair I was sitting on and when they called my name I jerked my head up and felt a thrashing pain in my neck from sleeping with my head bent down... I got up with my neck still aching and was told to enter room number two... when the nurse came in she ask questions like, " Does Claire have any medicine that she's allergic to?" or, " Is there any concern with Claire recently?"... No and No... " Why is Claire here today?" and I was there to get a shot. So just seconds later another nurse rather larger than the other came inside with a needle, a band-aid, an alchohol pad, and a cotton ball on a tray with a floral design... she set the tray beside me and lifted the sleeve of my shirt... she whiped my shoulder with the alchohol whipes when stabbed the needle in my arm... ever since I was little I've hated shots... I don't look forward in getting them... I always feel really cranky and sleepy after a shot... the nurse put a cotton pad on my arm to stop blood from coming out... and quickly put a snoopy band-aid on my arm. I didn't even feel like I really went to the doctors because... one. I didn't really see the doctor just some nurses... two. they did everything so quickly as if they didnt want me there... even though they seemed nice. So when I walked out of the doctors and into the 8 degrees above freezing temperature... I immediately feel drowsy and I was walking funny and everything seemed fuzzy... thankfully things got better when I got home and I was able to nap for quiet a while. :) lol...
