OW.
I barely felt the flu shot when it was administered. (It was an injection of inactivated virus, not the FluMist thing with attenuated. I suspect the tech was skilled.) But now, oh MAN does that shoulder ache. Every year I forget about this part. I'm glad I got it in my left arm. I'm mousing with my right.
She used a 25ga needle. The ones I use for Duchess, my diabetic cat, are 30ga, so I know what those look like; what I barely felt was bigger than those. Well done.
Duchess doesn't seem to mind hers a bit, but I'm still wondering if I can't develop some of that skill, that deftness used by good needle-wielders to lessen the sting. I have a great opportunity to practice, right?
