Vaccination Day :(

Right now (22.00 exactly) I feel as if someone has been punching my upper arms - OUCH!

Had Hepatitus A & Typhoid in the left arm and Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio in the right.  Felt a tad whoozy after the Hep/Typhoid mix and wondered if that's what it would be like to have a shot of heroin....felt it travel down my arm then up to my head - not nice.  No Malaria tablets required for NW India - goodie. 

The nurse was really helpful and gave me lots of information/handouts/leaflets.  I can now stock up my travelling medical chest with lots of preventative tablets, creams and sprays as well as curative remedies :)

Just in case you're wondering (and in danger of being boring) I have 31 sleeps before  we fly........

Visas

My visa for India has arrived!!  I felt really emotional when I opened the envelope - what am I going to be like in India?....I must pack a huge amount of tissues as I'm convinced I shall be an emotional wreck for the entire 2 weeks :)

With Christmas out of the way, suddenly if feels that I am indeed going on this long awaited trip....seven weeks tomorrow and I shall be on the flight!!!

Have booked an appointment on 22nd February to have my vaccinations done not sure what I need but I hope I don't have to have too many.  The girls have their's booked too in February but not sure when - pity the poor nurse having to pacify Hen who is absolutely petrified of needles!!
