Hi Dr Mary..

No.. not sick. Just a scheduled appointment to get a flu jab. It's not a required injection, but since we'll be travelling to a cold place, we had consulted Dr Mary earlier on and she had suggested that you took the flu jab, to reduce risk of you getting sick while we're travelling.

So when the nurse checked with me last month whether we wanted to let you take the jab, we decided "yes". And mummy made an appointment then. Luckily I called to reconfirm our appointment time, as I thought it was 7.15pm, when in actual fact, your appointment was 8.15pm!

Anyhow, we left from the condo yesterday after having dinner there, as Ah Ma had a physio session nearby and daddy and Ah Kong wanted to fix up the light in one of the rooms. In the end, we went to see Dr Mary with Ah Ma as daddy was not done fixing up the light. We were late for the appointment (as usual..) and so we had to wait a while before it was your turn. Of course you would not sit quietly with mummy. So in the end mummy had to follow you while you checked out the toys, table and chair, the weighing scale and also the fishes in the fish pond outside. I certainly wished daddy came with me today, then it would be HIS job to follow you all over!

It was your turn and after a quick check to see if you're OK with eggs, Dr Mary prepared the needle for you. Of course, you refused to go near the examination table when it was time for the jab! We had to hold you down while you got the jab. After a brief scream (seems shorter than the earlier inoculation that you took). And since you wanted to go out to play with the toys, Ah Ma went out with you while Dr Mary confirmed whether another flu injection was needed as this is the first time you were taking the flu jab. Too bad, you need to take another injection after 4 weeks. So we changed the original JE appointment to the second flu jab. Oh yeah.. before you left the doctor's office, you gave both the pretty nurse and Dr Mary a kiss before going out. You caught Dr Mary by surprise as she said she had just given you a jab, but you still willingly gave her a kiss! Our sweet little angel!

Sigh.. another round of injection after our holiday. Never mind, it should be worth it, if you will be less prone to getting flu after taking this jab.
