Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I dont do shots. Im way more scared of needles than the flu. Unreasonable, no doubt, but thats how it is.☹

I used to be petrified of needles, then I had acupuncture. I'm not scared of needles anymore! Of course there's a big difference between an acupuncture needle and one needed for a blood test, but it's the whole psychological thing. Go have some dry needling; it may help with your needle phobia, plus dry needling doesn't hurt and makes your muscles feel great!

I get a flu shot every year. I keep my tetanus up to date too.

I feel a bit silly about the whole tetanus bit. I didn't realize how ridiculous it was to not get it until I looked it up. Also, didn't realize that I needed to keep it up to date. Luckily, I talked to Shad and the others at the cafe. They are the reason I went and got it.

I love when they eat from the top of the feeder.

First of all, so sorry about the skin cancer fight and your fear of needles. I've had pleurisy before, and it is painful. That's not what the flu is like. I couldn't breathe. Couldn't get enough oxygen in my lungs. I really should have called 911, but I kept telling myself I would live. Luckily I did. I hadn't had the flu in 40+ years before that. It's just worth thinking about. Shots aren't that bad. Close your eyes and you might not even know it happened.

You don't have to get a shot to get the flu vaccine. There is an aerosol version called flu mist. I highly recommend it for needle-phobic individuals.

@BY Bob, are you home? How are the chickens?

Good option!

Stopped for dinner. Be home in about 2 hours. Long day.
