I'm a pincushion....

Today I have:

• received a seasonal flu vaccination in my left arm
• received a swine flu vaccination in my right arm
• been poked in the back by 10 acupuncture needles at the osteopath
• injected myself in the thigh muscle of my right leg with beta-interferon

I really do feel a bit like the proverbial wotsit.

Still, as I'm a glass-half-full kind of a guy, I'm choosing to focus on the happy fact that my left leg remains entirely untouched by any kind of needle at all. 

Today, anyway. 

....based upon my experience today, however, I wouldn't care to speculate on what might happen to it tomorrow.
