My attitude during school years was the opposite, Lilly. Whilst time off school was always welcome, it was the era of penicillin shots so I knew that staying home would result in a doctor's visit and the inevitable injection-sore bottom. Whenever I felt unwell, therefore, I tried to disguise the symptoms as long as possible but that only ensured that by the time my illness became obvious I would have to get what I dread most. Rolling over in bed for those shots on house calls was bad enough but going to the doctor was even worse because I had to bend over the receptionist's lap for them and the embarrassment of a girl watching me injected in the bare bottom was worse than the pain.

When all my travel inoculations expire at once, I also get eight injections in one session (four in each cheek) and, similar to your experience, the nurse always begins with the least painful ones so that I know each shot will hurt more than the previous one. Not surprisingly I often can't sit down for a couple of days after getting them. What about you? How long before you could sit down after getting all those shots?

I get your meaning. I also grew up in that Era!(Born 1958) and every kid feared those Penicillin shots. They never went in the arm, always in the bottom. I believe that was what brought kids to playing doctor. We did a lot of roleplay as we would emulate everything we saw and experienced in life so all shots we gave while playing were in the bottom since that was Where we got them.
The same went for temperature taking. Children almost always get them in the butt so it was
only in natural for us to do it the same. Ever
had that experience in playing!
