Event 2C: Now This Won't Hurt A Bit . . . "Claribel?" Kerwin whispered as he cradles me in his lap and brushes my bangs out of my eyes. "Papa, I feel so weak," I whispered to Kerwin. "Shhh, save your strength, Claribel," Sharon advised. "You sure gave us a scare when you fell off the exam table." Eventually, the lightheadedness stops, but before I can do anything else, the doctor comes in with a fat syringe full of medicine. She uncaps it and squirts some liquid out of a needle 4 inches long!!! "You are NOT jabbing me with that needle!!!" I declared. "Mr. Del Trabajador, Ms. Mei'ou, if you will kindly lay your daughter on the exam table and restrain her . . .," the doctor requested. "Papa, I thought you understood how violated this makes me feel," I told Kerwin as he sets me down on the exam table and restrains me. "Let go of me!!!" "I do, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to let you dodge having the needle, Claribel," Kerwin replied. I begin to struggle and thrash about, but Kerwin holds me fast. "Don't worry, Claribel," Sharon assured me. "It'll be over soon." "Want to trade places with me, Mama?" I asked Sharon, continuing to thrash about. Sharon holds down my legs so that I cannot flop about and the doctor lifts the back of my skirt and pulls down my panties. I feel a rubbing sensation on my left hip and then air on my bottom. "Okay, Claribel, brace yourself," the doctor said as she slides the needle in and injects. I scream out loud at the intense pain of the hepatitis vaccine being forced through the muscle in my rear end. "That went well." "Yeah, it could be worse," Sharon told the doctor who is withdrawing the needle, inspecting the injection site and applying a Band-Aid (Yeah, like that's going to make the shot stop hurting), and covering me back up. "You could be vaccinating Princess Reenie." Sharon and Kerwin laugh at the inside joke and release me. I later learned that Reenie has the ability to emit earsplitting wails when scared or upset.
