Subject: Re: Another Question for Becky Author: Tiffany [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, October 03, 2009, 04:16: pm In reply to: Becky 's message, "Re: Another Question for Becky" on Saturday, October 03, 2009, 08:28: am This past Monday I went to see my doctor and was told I had a a bad case of strept throat. he told me they would need to give me 2 injections. A nurse came in and told me to roll over on my stomach and push down my jeans. I am 21 and I can't remember the last time I got a shot in my hip. I heard people walk by and knew any moment that he would be back. I almost freaked out when he walked carrying those 2 shots. I felt my panties come down. One by one I got a needle in each hip. The last shot hurt really bad. He told me it was bicillin and that my butt would be sore for a few days. I limped out trying not to draw attention, but I am sure every knew I had just got a shot in my butt. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

These shots would cause you to limp. I don't remember in my adult life many shots in my hip has caused me to limp. As kids that was one of the things you were looking for when kids came out into the waiting room. You would look and see if their eyes were red like they had been crying and to see if they were limping. You could then be sure the scream and crying you heard a while before was this boy or girl. That is why it was embarrassing in front of the other kids or anyone you were trying to impress as being a big girl if you couldn't fake it. I remember trying to look brave in the waiting room and acting like I wasn't concerned but I was scared to death waiting for my name to be called. My younger sisters were not able to hide their fear as well, especially the youngest one. At least if I got a shot, I thought that others would think they were the ones crying so it would not be as embarrassing to me. They would be whiny and be asking mom if they were going to get a shot and if it would be in their bottom. But it also just reminded me of what I was worried about too. Mom seemed to lie to us saying that we probably wouldn't get a shot or if we did it probably wouldn't be in the bottom. The worst shot my littlest sister ever got was one that she knew she would get the next day. She already got a shot a couple days before and when mom called about her tonsils were still swollen and had pus they told her to bring her in the next day and they'd give her another penicillin shot. I got in trouble for that one since when I heard mom talking to the doctor's office I couldn't wait to tell my sister that she was going to get another shot. She cried all the way to the doctor's office and when we checked in the receptionist asked on the intercom if anyone had time to give a little girl a penicillin shot that was waiting by the front desk. We heard the voice say that she would be up in minute to take her back. We didn't even sit down and in a while the nurse came up holding the shot in her hand and took my sister back with her while we waited. She was crying as she walked down the hall with the nurse. Soon we could hear my sister screaming and crying. It seemed to last for a long time and when she came out she was still sobbing. There was no doubt who got a shot that time and she was still crying and sniffling all the way home. I don't know what they give now for strep throat but back then it was two shots also... one was penicillin and one was to "dry you up." Both hurt about the same. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Some docs, however, still prefer penicillin but most often in pill form. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
