The skinny: Round 1 of 3 for the HPV vaccine is now done. I don't have to go back for another 2 months.
Instead of $200, it was 150.50. But still out of pocket. Still, it was a relatively nice surprise to have not quite so much to fork out.
Effect so far, sore and stingy arm. Possible effect later: fatigue. I may well forget the fatigue after the arm stops hurting.
Edit: Oh look. Light-headed! This is not fun.
The commentary: The stupidity of having an age limit on this vaccination. Ok, you've already heard this all before. Just assume I continue on about the stupid a bit more. I am pessimistic enough to believe that some number of months after I'm done with my shot-getting, they'll change the rules and allow we, the old ladies, to get covered by our HMO-death services.
The meta: I debated on putting this F-Locked, but decided against on the principle of speaking out over an important issue that is often hushed up over fear of trolls.
