Can I have another arm?

You know you're in trouble when a doctor says "this is going to hurt".

I got a flu shot on Monday. Actually, I got 2 flu shots on Monday. My doctor gave me the regular seasonal flu shot in one arm, and the H1N1 flu shot in the other arm.

The jabs themselves were a mere pinch. That's not where the pain comes in.

The doctor warned me that the H1N1 flu shot will hurt "for about 3 days". It's now day 3 after the shot and it still hurts! It was a red angry hurt at first, but now it's an achy, can't sleep on either side because both arms have been assaulted by the flu hurt.

So can I have another arm? One that doesn't hurt? I'll give it back later...
