Today was a painful day!!!!   I ventured out to the Jefferson County Health Department to get some blood work done.  After being sent to 4 different locations within the same building, I finally ended up back where I started to get my test.  Why they couldn't have done it the first time, who knows?

 

I got my HIV blood test done but won't know the results until 2 weeks possibly.   Then off to another department to get my immunizations for traveling to China.  The HIV test was FREE (YEA!) but the 2 immunizations were $67.60 - not as bad as if I had them done at the doctor's office or UAB Traveller's Clinic.

 

I had to have a tetanus booster and a Hepatitis A & B shot.  Luckily, now there is one series of shots for both A & B.  It takes 3 shots to get through the series so I started it now so I won't have to rush it later.

 

The nurse said that my arms will be sore for the next few days (YIPPEE!).  Anyway, that is done.  I just have to have one more test at my doctor's office to complete the whole medical information packet.

 

I'll post later if my arms will let me!  God Bless...
