All the talk of Covid 19 vaccines and Flu vaccines has forced Mr Blog to deal with haunting memories of teenage injections.
From the age of 12 I started having hayfever injections. This was a major development in treatment and the three fortnightly shots gave me whole summers of relief. By the age of 15 I was a seasoned regular looking forward to benefits of my tenth treatment. When I pitched up I was told of a new procedure.
"The Doctor doesnt administer the injections any more, you'll be seen by a nurse."
"No problem," I replied.
Several minutes later I was ushered into the treatment room by a stunning looking young nurse. I resolved not to let myself down in front of her. I knew the drill so I acted as nonchalantly as I could. i dropped my trousers, my boxers and bent over just as I had nine times before.
The nurse turned round and said,
"Oh! These go in the arm!"
I discovered two things that day,
- You cannot look nonchalant in all situations
- Some memories are so seared into your mind you will never forget them
