I walked into the doctor’s office (7th floor of Mass General), and said to the secretary (with four people right behind me in the waiting chairs), “Hello, I’m here for a shot in the butt.”   And the secretary said “Ah, you must be Robin!”

I swear to god I said that.  Ask my mom.  :)   Megan didn’t believe me!   My mom said that in my medical chart it probably says “smart ass.”

I got the shot in the right cheek, and Dr. Ross said “I just need to see the top portion of your crack so I know that I’m actually doing it into your butt.”  Except I’m not sure he used the word butt.  But I felt a little silly about pulling my underwear/pants down, but I just pressed on!  The shot burned a bit, and I felt a bit nauseated walking into the hallway, but it quickly passed.

I totally should have asked my mom to take a picture with my phone for my blog.  I had my pants mostly up, so it wouldn’t have been totally inappropriate.  I have another shot tomorrow, but I’m going by myself, so I won’t have anyone to take the picture. Curses!

Tomorrow will hopefully be the left cheek.  Perhaps I will greet them with “Hello, I’m here for another shot in the butt.”
