Where is my LOLLIPOP?

So when did they stop giving out lollipops for getting shots?

So today I went down to get my Travel Consultation at the doctors. For those of you that really know me, know that this is HUGE! I hate shots :-)
So I got Yellow Fever - well I didn't get the fever, I got the vaccine against it. So this is what the doctor says to me:
Dr: The side effects of the Yellow Fever Vaccine can be, Death or Sever Organ Failure.
Me: Now, Doc, is that something you really want to say to someone who already is having a panic attack about the shot?
So then she went on to talk about the other precautions. Typhoid - okay fine I'll take that. It's an oral form though - so 4 pills, 1 every other day - I'll start on Saturday - side effects can be sever abdominal cramping - GREAT! Malaria pills - got the prescription and will turn that in to the pharmacy tomorrow. I start that the day before we leave, then every day there and 7 days after we return - got a total of 18 of them, that should be enough. At $7 a pill, I know that doesn't sound bad - but that's $126 for all 18 pills. On top of the $225 for the Yellow Fever. crazy - especially since our insurance doesn't cover you on these things. They don't view travel outside the US necessary :-) LOL - got to love it.
So I was good during the shot, I laid down, he told me he was going to pinch my skin, I'd feel a slight poke (ouch) and a burn (argh) and it was over. All while this was happening I was digging my nails on my right hand into my palm - a bit of a distraction - but it seemed to work.
They wanted me to do the Hep A&B combo - but do you people really see me eating while there? I'll think about it......... but I'm thinking Granola Bars & Trail Mix - Bottle Water - I'm good to go.
So seriously when did they stop giving you a lollipop when you get your shot?
After the technician gave it, he said "we'd like you to stay for 15 minutes to make sure that you are OK, and have no side effects!"
Me: so after 15 minutes if I don't die or have complete organ failure - you think I'm in the clear :-) LOL
these people have a twisted idea of OK :-) hehehehe

Okay so that's my update!
I think we are getting closer. Today we scanned a copy of our I171H and sent it to the wonderful Romana and she is going to take it to the Embassy next week to get Part I of the Visa Application, then she'll turn that in, and get Part II -(medical) she'll do that for us, and then we wait for our invitation to come for the Visa Interview :-) I'm so excited I think this is the first time, I've actually been able to see that light at the end of the tunnel.

Cheers & Love
