Pain in the Butt

After my Pneumococcal jab yesterday morning, I started complaining of "butt pain-pain" yesterday night. Mummy didn't give it much thought and assumed everything would be ok the next morning.

However, I woke up crying this morning and continued to complain "butt pain-pain". To emphasize to mummy how much pain I was in, I even walked with a limp! I laid down on my side on the sofa the whole morning, for nearly 3 hours without moving. I also had a mild fever of 37.5 C. Hmm... mummy was quite puzzled because the doctor had told her that the jab would not cause any side effects.

Everytime mummy asked me "Pain-pain how?", I'd give her this look...


Kesian...

After taking a single dose of fever medicine, I was well and back to my usual self again, jumping here and there. Phew! What a relief! *mummy wipes sweat*

The Hib/DT/Polio Booster

Last Sunday, I went to this "ant-infested" clinic again for a scheduled jab. It has a mini “playground” in the waiting lounge and lots of toys in the doctor’s room. As usual, on the examination table, the doctor removed my diaper and said "ant bite" but I was so distracted by the toys, I didn’t even realize I just got shot in the butt. Needless to say, it was a calm and tearless event. Bravo to me!

The MMR jab

Last Saturday, daddy and mummy brought me to the clinic again. This clinic seems to be infested with ants. As the doctor was examining me, she said "It's just an ant bite". Not again... I remember her telling me the same thing during our past few visits. In the past, those tiny little ants were nothing compared to the huge one that bit me on Saturday. For the very first time, I let out a short cry "Waaaaaah" which lasted about 5 seconds. Sigh! I don't understand why mummy keeps exposing and offering my butt to those pesky ants....
