Rounds Three and One

The build up to China carries on with my latest round of immunisations. My plan to leave early for the surgery and take a slow wander up the hill didn't materialise and I ended up running the last few hundred metres in order to get there for 8.30, phew hot work in jeans and a jumper with my rucksack on! Even at 8.30 the Nurse was running late so I had a chance to cool down before exposing myself to a Rabies shot for the third and final time along with my first dose of Hep B. This may seem rather over cautious but better safe than sorry given that 10% of the Chinese population carry Hep B. Thankfully I was able to get both shots in one arm so the now familiar burning sensation was contained in my mostly redundant left arm. As time ticked on I jumped on the bus to work, had a fairly busy day and went shopping after work. Happily my arm isn't too sore just a bit bruised and swollen. Only 2 more doses of Hep B to go then I am done :)
