Ubiquitous Allergens and Long Needles

I love the Winter rain and the flowers of Spring. Unfortunately, they wreak havoc on my eyes and respiratory system because of allergies to the pollens created. Today I go for a Kenalog shot in hopes of some relief. I haven't had to get a shot for allergies for several years, but this year my number is up. I am reminded of the informed consent paper the Dr. has me sign. It states something like, "Kenalog can cause dimpling of the skin in the injection site. In order to prevent this dimpling, we use an extra long needle." Thanks for that information!! I feel great relief! When I first told Jill about that, her comment was, "What's one more dimple?" Thanks, again.
