travel doctor's appt.

wow. four shots, an oral vaccine, and anti-malaria pills. that's a lot. and a lot of money. but preventative medicine is a good thing. a scary thing to hear about the "live" diseases. but i'll take the vaccines.

so i am not in possession of sore arms with band-aide tans, but also have vaccines in me. and my official yellow card to enter the country. yay.

the yellow fever shot burned. it was weird. and one of the other ones hurt more than any other shot i've ever had. and i filled my prescriptions today. so that's another major accomplishment in preparing for the trip.

I think your second paragraph should read "I am now" not "I am not." Why is yellow fever called yellow fever - does it make the person who has it turn yellow? Just a question. I am sorry that your arms hurt but the band-aid tans are funny - so that is a good thing right?
