Yeah...I know...but you guys are talking to a nurse who fainted the
first time she ever gave a shot to anyone...really, I'm not making this
up...I do okay with giving shots now after 15 years of doing it but I
still do not draw blood or start IV's...grosses me out and makes me
woozy. Don't like any of that yucky medicine or surgery stuff--it's part
of the reason I'm a psychiatric nurse! But I'll go because I want to
live to be a really mean little ol' lady someday...not die of tetanus!

Theresa: In that case, never mind my previous question re:
tetanus...unless of course, you happen to know? Listen to me, I'm just
looking for an excuse to put off getting that darned tetanus shot! :-)
