    Happy hour: Turns out our whole group basically got VIP seating, and all food and drinks we could ask for on the house! It was insane fun!! Owner even came over and served us all tequila shots. I think Christina's friends might have gone home a little half mass :drunken:

    Rant:

    Requirement for registering for classes :

    "PROOF OF IMMUNIZATION"

    "All applicants must submit proof of having received two doses of the measles vaccine and one dose of mumps and rubella vaccines."

    Seriously??


    Do I have to get all those shots even if I've been vaccinated as a child?

    I'm scared. :shock:

    Em- if you dont have records from childhood you might have to be immunized again, but if you can get in touch with your elementary or middleschool they can probably send you the records (instead of having to find them from a doc!)

    NOOOOO00000OOOOOOO00000!!!

    I don't know if my old elementary and middle schools would still have them. My high school was closed for good June 2009 , so they're out of the question.

    I know I got them , shit , I remember going to "use the bathroom" and locking myself in the stall becuz I didn't want the shot. Ooh...bad flashbacks. I called that nurse a bitch after she stabbed me with the needle.Such a potty mouth , I know. Whatever , she should have just left me in the stall!! :evil:

    There is no way in hell I'm getting those things again.NO. NEVER!! Seriously.Can't.


    Sigh.

    Em, sometimes, you can get antibody titers (blood levels of antibodies) to prove you were immunized rather than getting vaccinated again. Check with the school to see if that is acceptable.
  • em26

    Thanks , BFF! :)

    I will call and ask them about that tomorrow.

    I hope it works cuz I really can't push myself to get 4 freakin' shots that I already suffered through as a helpless child.No fuckin' way. I'm doing this for the little Em inside.We're afraid. :(

    If they say no , then I'm gonna do what I gotta do. I don't mean giving in and getting those shots again , either. :wink:

    If you have to go again, I'll go with you and buy you a Spongebob Ice cream when we're done. I am an old hat at needle stickin' by now.

    Rant: hearing the words "reconstructive surgery" at the orthopedist's office :/

    Rant: being told it's really my decision, he won't push me on what to do. Why are doctors so vague.

    Rant: needing to get to see another doc soon for another opinion on slicing my foot open.

    Rave: they at least sent home my MRI images to take to another doc. (I hate to only rant)

    Rave:

    Called the college and spoke with a woman in the health services office. She said I can do the antibody titers to prove I was immunized!! :cheers:


    Rant , rant, RANT:

    I was staring at the word "titers" , like how the fuck do I pronounce that? Is it "ty-ters"?? or is it "tit-ers"?? I choose the latter. #-o

    She corrected me.How embarrassing. :oops:

    I could maybe do this, I did see some offwhite ones somewhere. I dont see how it can be impossible to find white non-3XL sized scrubs in NYC. I just don't believe it.

    Carmen have you checked Old Navy and the other Atlantic center stores? One of them might have something like that.

    Rave: nice breezy walk with the dog.

    Rant: giant dog turd that someone did NOT pick up right in front of our place (not near the curb at all). I think it's our super bitch neighbor. Her dog always starts shit with my dog yet she acts like it's all my fault. I know for a fact that she lets her dog pee on our stoop/garden area so I'm guessing she wouldn't care about picking up poop either.

    Thanks , pookie. :)

    Rave:

    I don't have to get the shots again and I might not have to get the antibody titers now either.


    Rant :

    Sigh.
