A couple of years ago they used me as a pin cushion but this time it was just one quick injection.
I visited the doctor yesterday to update my vaccinations for my upcoming trip to India. Thankfully most of the needles I was given last time are still current. I’m also very thankful that the doctor I see is very good at giving injections. I hate needles but last night’s jab was quick and painless. I’ve now also got a script for some anti-malarial capsules.
The trip to India is feeling more and more real as the date gets closer. One month from tomorrow I’ll be flying out. I just hope that I manage to get all the other preparations covered.
Funny how time starts to speed up the closer you get to an event.

i hope you get to blog from there … tho’ you may be a tad busy!! what with the cycling, etc. … what an adventure! i can’t even imagine being in such a foreign environment since all the countries i’ve visited have been safe places (well Mexican border towns do have their own flavour) …
oh, and the time flying thing – that’s age … :o)
(had to pay you back re the 40C quip, when we were suffering in the DEEP FREEZE!)
That’s a pretty fair comeback Saija. 🙂
I should be able to blog a little bit in India. I’ll certainly make time wherever I can because I will need time that is ‘mine’ amidst all the activity.
Most of the time we’ll probably be away from computers and the internet but I know there will be a couple of days where I’ll have limited access.
I’m very excited for you, Rodney, and looking forward to reading about your trip. Will you be taking pictures?
Yes Rita, I’ll definitely be taking photos and posting them here.
Aaahhh, the jab, yes, I know all about that. I had a needle poked into me 12 times when we went to west Africa!!! In the end I used to just put my arm out and say ‘go for it’, sometimes even one in each arm! LOL.
