Here's a big part of our lives that doesn't normally get documented on film.Xander and I have bad allergies, so we have mother-son outings to the clinic to get our allergy shots. He is down to one shot, but my allergies seem to grow with each testing, so I get three shots per visit. Right now we are on a once a week regime, but normally it is monthly.
The hardest part is to remember to wear a short sleeve shirt on shot day. And bringing a book or magazine to read, since you have to wait 20 minutes after the shot to make sure there is no adverse reaction. We both swelled up today, Xander has a really big goose egg. Some days are like that.
It's a big investment of time and money, but it is well worth it to not feel miserable.

Interesting... though no fun.
Sorry you have to go through that! The quote sure is perfect though.
Good idea to photograph that. I get mine from my school nurse so I don't have to go to the office. I agree, wearing a short sleeved shirt is a hard thing to remember/plan around at this time of year. Sorry you have to get 3...ugh.
