Guess what!  Today I went and got my last HPV shot!  Yay! 

My doctor said that I was one of the first people who completed the series of shots.  I’m happy now that I finished ALL of the shots, and for the fact that there’s a slim chance that I could get HPV.  Guess what else.  Today, when I got my shot-an intern did it!  I really didn’t know how it was going to be.  I’ve heard horror stories of interns stabbing your arm and then moving the needle around because they didn’t ’stick it right’.  Well, this intern did pretty good putting it in.  When she took it out, though, it hurt like heck.  She took out slowly, I guess thinking that it would hurt less.  But, it didn’t hurt less, it hurt MORE.  It felt as if she was poking it deeper, or maybe even taking a knife out of your arm (I wouldn’t know, I’ve never had a knife in my arm and I hope that I never do). 

Anyways, teenage girl (16 or older) or mom or dad that’s reading this and have  a 16 or older daughter, talk to your parents/daughter(s) about getting the HPV shot – especially if cancer runs in your family.  It just means one less thing to worry about.  Of course, you should still go get screenings just in case.  Again, it would be a slim chance.

Well, that’s my good ‘rant’ of the day.  I’m going to try to post more, for those of you who read my blog.  Most of you probably don’t even read my blog anymore because I never post anything new.  Well, I’ll try to post at least once a day, if not that, then once every other day.  Heck, I bet most of you would be glad if it was just once a week.   Anyways, I’m outie for a bit.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add.  A few posts back, I talked about getting a new cell phone.  Well, I got it!  YAY!  It’s much better than my old phone.  If I drop it, it doesn’t say “Insert Smartchip” like my old phone did.  This one’s MUCH better.  It’s also like it’s got healing powers or something.  I’ve dropped it a couple of times and the scratches that developed on the front, aren’t there anymore (and no, it wasn’t dirt, it was a scratch).  I LOVE IT!  And I’m not going to change phones again unless I accidentally drop it in OJ (OH NO!  Hopefully not again!) or it starts acting up like my old one did (only reason why I changed out phones).  So, Dad (since you said once you were sure I wouldn’t change out my phones anymore), you know you could put the Pay-Per-Use thing back on my phone, like you’ve been telling me for months that you’d do. =]
