((I had to get a tetanus shot today because it's been 10 years since I got one. My arm really hurts now. I was shaking so much when I was signing the papers and for so long after. I'm so scared of needles, but I think I did pretty well. I didn't faint like I did when I got the Meningitis C shot.))
Alex walked over to the couch and sat beside Audrey. Maxi followed Audrey and Alex. She sat on the floor and rested her head on Audrey's laugh.

((yikes! i got the tetanus shot in SK. i went to school after but mum had to come pick me up because i couldnt move my arm at all without being in excrutiating pain. even like moving my finger would make me like burst into tears it hurt so much. i stayed home for like a week and a half until it healed up. i dunno why it did that. im dreading getting my booster shot for it...))
Audrey smiled and ruffled Maxi's ears.

((Oh wow. It hurts a bit when I move my fingers, but not a lot. Moving my arm hurts a lot though.))
Maxi wagged her tail. He wondered if Audrey was going to get another dog. He knew that Maxi would be really happy if she did.

((yeah. its cuz a tetanus shot actually goes deep into ur muscle. thats why so many people have bad reactions to it and are in a lot of pain))
Audrey kissed the top of Maxi's head.

((Why does it have to?))
Alex smiled. "Are you going to get another dog?" he asked her. He hoped that asking that wouldn't upset Audrey.

((im not actually sure. i guess it just really has to go into ur body. they wanna make sure they get it in properly))
Audrey shrugged. "I'm not ready yet. But I will, one day." she said.

((Oh. Does getting the needle in my left arm have anything to do with why my right arm is really sore now too? Or is that from something else? lol))
"Okay." Alex said.

((it could be just that there is a lot of the tetanus toxoid in your bloodstream. that's why your right arm might feel sore. or, it could be from something unrelated. do you know if the shot you got today will also protect you against pertussis or diptheria? because that can also be why your right arm hurts. a lot of people can have reactions to the pertussis toxoid. i think thats what happened to me in SK)) Audrey sighed softly and leaned against Alex.

((I read that on the paper, but I wasn't paying much attention and don't even know what pertussis or diphtheria are so yeah... lol.))
Alex put his arm around Audrey and hugged her.

((lol pertussis is just a fancy name for whooping cough. its uncommon now because people have the vaccine (im sure its mandatory for school). and diptheria is a serious throat infection thing. it can cause inflammation of the heart. its not good )) Audrey sighed softly and rested her hand on her stomach.

((Oh, okay. Uncle Perry and Steph had whooping cough a while ago I think. So is it like when I fall off or ride after not riding for a while? Like, when I have a shower tonight will it hurt less?))
Alex kissed the side of Audrey's forehead softly.
((Are we doing the thing where Alex paints a room for the baby or whatever? If we do, Audrey could like have a doctor's appointment and get an ultrasound and then tell Alex what it is. Then Cara can like suggest that she and Audrey should go out shopping some day and buy baby clothes and toys and stuff. Alex gives Audrey his bank card and tells her that he doesn't care how much she spends, just that he doesn't want her to tell him. Then when they're gone, Greg comes over and he and Alex paint the room a nice shade of pink or something, like a soft pink not something that hurts the eyes, and then Audrey comes home and is all happy and stuff...))

((ya. it should help after your shower, but, i dont know if this is true, but i heard that heat actually increases swelling, but, it does make u more comfortable. you could also use an ice pack but don't put it on for any longer than 20 mins and make sure it is wrapped in a cloth or paper towel or something. after twenty minutes, take it off for 10 mins, and then u can put it back on. also, if u get a fever or headache or anything from the shot, you can take advil or tylenol. i wouldnt recommend aspirin. on all the bottles we have it says it isnt recommended for children or teens and, it can give u an upset stomach. its pretty harsh on your stomach.)) Audrey sighed and cuddled with Alex. ((lol ok! but i think that it should be a surprise. i know when im older i dont wanna know the sex of the baby. so alex can paint the room a really nice green or yellow or something ))

((kk. I don't even think we have any icepacks, just ziplock bags and ice cubes, which is what I use. I'm not going to put ice on it though, it's too much of a pain and if I don't move my arms much it doesn't hurt. I've had a headache all afternoon, but I don't want to take tylenol. It makes me too hyper and then I get really stupid and when I want to go to bed I can't sleep. We have aspirin at dad's, and it doesn't make my hyper or anything, but it does give me an upset stomach sometimes. I find it easier to take then tylenol though. I just realized how much I take aspirin and tylenol. I have been getting so many headaches lately, and I've been getting toothaches quite a bit. I don't have any cavities though, and my dentist doesn't know why I get them.))
Alex just hugged Audrey.
((kk. I think green, I don't like yellow rooms all that much, so Alex doesn't either. The living room at daddy's is yellow, and it bugs me. He's going to paint it sometime though, which is good. He's also going to knock out two walls and take the carpeting off of the floors and make them wood or something like that instead. He's taking all of the carpeting out actually, because there are ugly carpets right now. It's the same carpets as when he bought the house, a really ugly shade of green. If you spill anything on them, it is really noticeable and the carpet stains really easily, and the stains show quite well.))

((you might have sensitive teeth as far as the toothaches go. and i find that tylenol makes me really cranky and sleepy. advil im ok with, though it can make me a little drowsy and helps me sleep.))
Audrey yawned.
((we have ugly carpets too. just that grey non-colour thing that all the houses around here come with. and if u pull the carpets up, it's chipboard. we wanna get hardwood floors but theyre so expensive))

((Sorry I took so long. I was finished eating a long time ago, but before I ate Paul and I had a fight. It was really stupid. We were all in the kitchen waiting for supper to be finished (it was just about finished when I said I had to go) and then mom said that we must all be hungry. I said "yeah, that's why we've all been bugging for an hour." and then paul got mad at me and started yelling at me so i yelled at him and he kept yelling at me and then i yelled at him and then he just stopped. i dunno why, but i started crying, and couldn't stop. nobody noticed, and i just went into my room. mom came in like a min later to say that supper was ready, and she noticed that i was crying and went back into the living room. then a few mins later paul brought me in some supper and then came back out to the living room. i just kept crying and i ate while i was crying and then i called manda and talked to her and then i ended up falling asleep and then i woke up and came out here and then paul apologized to me and then yeah... i don't feel good any more, i ended up taking tylenol and my headache was going away, but now it's even worse than before.))
Alex just hugged Audrey.
((I know, they are. Dad's looking into getting fake hardwood and some awesome tiles from work. The fake hardwood looks real, and he can get it really cheap through work.))
