I'm in shot number two of the rabies vaccine Aerows Jan 2014 #2

Hope those go well. And hope there are no Lifelong Protester Jan 2014 #12

They make me so crabby Aerows Jan 2014 #21

They don't have any noticeable side effects. kestrel91316 Jan 2014 #64

Don't ask me about that Aerows Jan 2014 #77

Oy! I didn't know that shot was part of the rabies series. I had one years Nay Jan 2014 #80

No, that was the easy part Aerows Jan 2014 #82

That makes me sweat just to think about it. I am still glad all of us Nay Jan 2014 #84

Surprisingly, after all of that Aerows Jan 2014 #85

I think the difference is that she's had to have injections right into her hand and foot, pnwmom Jan 2014 #101

Oh absolutely. She got the worst of it. I has potential respiratory/ kestrel91316 Jan 2014 #107

Me, too! I don't want to imagine how that must have felt. pnwmom Jan 2014 #108

You really don't Aerows Jan 2014 #110

Don't worry -- I stay away from wild animals. I wouldn't be doing them a favor pnwmom Jan 2014 #111

Well, now I know why you don't LOL! n/t Aerows Jan 2014 #112

I just meant that wild animals are better off not interfered with. They need their space. pnwmom Jan 2014 #113

I'm the kid Aerows Jan 2014 #114

You're the adventurous one! Just don't be the kid pnwmom Jan 2014 #115

Aerows - Hope you recover soon. Please tell me those shots aren't as painful as they say! AAO Jan 2014 #66

I don't like to lie Aerows Jan 2014 #69

Is it as bad as a a catheter up your pepe? AAO Jan 2014 #71

I'd rather have that Aerows Jan 2014 #72

Have you ever had one without any medication? AAO Jan 2014 #73

I'm allergic to pain killers Aerows Jan 2014 #74

I guess that's why I take so much precaution around unknown animals! AAO Jan 2014 #75

Good policy Aerows Jan 2014 #76

We have these red foxes that come into the field next to our house. AAO Jan 2014 #79

Tell her to learn from my misfortune Aerows Jan 2014 #81

Tell her it would also likely result in the death of the foxes. truebluegreen Jan 2014 #104

It would. You don't want to play with wild animals Aerows Jan 2014 #119

It is a strange and crazy situation Aerows Jan 2014 #36
