Yikes!

Just in case your wondering why I'm blind the next time you see me . . . when I went in to the get the flu shot for me and the girls the other day I was squirted in the eye with a flu shot. Yes, you heard me right, squirted in the eye with the flu shot. Well, I went first (to show the girls it didn't hurt) without incident. Then Emma went and although she had to be held down by me and two other nurses (she didn't believe it didn't hurt) we got it done. Then it was Hannah's turn. The nurse and I held her down (even though she wasn't struggling she's my tough girl) and poked the shot in her leg. When she began to push the shot in the needle snapped at the syringe and the liquid went squirting everywhere. Mainly towards my face. It stung a little and I panicked a bit inside thinking I might go blind. Meanwhile Hannah sat still while the nurse pulled the needle out of her leg. We got me wiped up and Hannah another shot (which she still barely whined about) and she told me that my eye would be fine. I don't know if I believed her or not but so far my vision is ok. I'll keep you updated as to if I do go blind or my eyeball falls out.
