I am such a genius. Today I went for my flu shot. Brilliant, thought I - I will get this shot in my non-dominant hand, just in case. Last time my arm ached badly for a few days, so I thought it would be better to get it in the left arm. I had my baby with me (she got one too) so I had to be all brave and tough too.
OOOHH BAD, BAD IDEA! Sure, it’s my non-dominant hand, HOWEVER – IT’S THE ARM I USE FOR EVERYTHING! When I pick my daughter up and balance her one-handed on my hip, it’s my left side, when I sling a bag – it’s on my left side.
Guess which side I prefer to sleep on – that’s right you guessed it, my left!
GRRR My achy arm is making me angry!
