Flu shot adventure

I was checking around yesterday for a place to get my annual flu shot. I saw that a local junior college was hosting the visiting nurses society for the flu shots. Better yet, my insurance was one that they would accept. All I had to do was fill out a form and show my card to them...no out of pocket cash involved. I thought "good deal!" since my pockets don't have that much cash to pull out lately. I pulled on to the campus and found a handicapped parking space right next to the student activity building. I thought that this is going to be a snap. I started following the signs across the quad. Hmm, it's not in the student activity building so I kept walking. It's not in the gym, keep walking...it's not in the business administration building...nor in the theater arts building...keep walking...no, on second thought sit a bit...then keep walking. I finally arrived at the building after walking completely across the campus. (I can see why most students are young. It would do in most old folks) I filled out the form and showed my card but I was huffing and puffing a bit sooo they had me sit some more and use my inhaler before they gve me my shot. Then I had to sit some more. They called someone in security and I was driven back to my car in security's golf cart. This flu shot turned out to be more of an adventure than I was looking for. I guess it just goes to show, nothing is as easy at it seems. Not lately anyway.Be well,Tom

Sounds like a rough day. I wish they would make their flyers/directions more accurate. Alot of people would have a hard time making it across campus. At least you made it and got your very important flu shot.

I\'m going for mine on the 28th. The hospital where I work is giving it to their employees for free. The do that each year, but it usually isn\'t until late November. I prefer to get my shot in September because our season starts early in Florida. When it is free though....sometimes it\'s better to wait a bit.

Yeah...I\'ll be getting a flu shot too. I hate that you had all that walking...did you eventually get the shot??? Glad you got a free ride back to your car! It\'s the least they could do!
