I want my next pair of glasses to be the weightless kind that some of my friends have. They are seriously awesome.

Question for steph or others w/ pharma-know : i still have leftover "neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and dexametasone opthalimic suspension" drops from my last bout of pink eye. Don't expire for several more months. I know the instructions insert says not to reuse for a later infection and to throw out leftever drops...but i didn't. And have another infection that looks and feels exactly the same as what they were prescribed for.

I get CYA. Is there any other reason i shouldn't re-use drops for the same condition? I totally take all responsibility if anything goes wrong. Symptoms started on Saturday and the soonest i can get to a Dr is Thursday and that's a long time to suffer when i have treatment in my bedroom closet....

The real thing there would be that it might make it difficult for the doctor to figure out the problem, if/when you finally go. That said, I know lots of parents re-use for kids. And I'd suggest you call your doctor's office--they might say "go ahead, use it" or send you a new scrip.

I'll try calling tomorrow before work. The annoying thing is that i had to go to an opthamologist for the rx and need a referral from my pcp thanks to insurance...which makes it TWO appts to schedule when i'm working 12 hr shifts every day till Thursday. I could theoretically call in sick for a few hours but losing even one person on phones right now is gonna make a crappy situation at work even crappier for everyone else. But yeah, i can see how if i treat for a few days and *then* go in there might no longer be evidence of an infection.

Hil, wait and see if you start that day. Then you can call your gyno and say "I'm irregular, and my period started today. Can I reschedule?"

I think gynos prefer not to do paps and exams because it fucks up the culture.

I'm sorry, Erin. I love to laugh, but I only like mojitos, walks in the sunshine, and making love at a decent hour. Our love can never be.

But...but....meara, our love is so pure!!!

::sobs::

Hil, they can do the culture now regardless, I believe. But it may be more painful, not sure.

Anyone wanna date me?

Well, I would, but you only give air kisses, apparently, and I've heard it's a bad idea to date someone you're about to hire. Speaking of, got your email, will respond soon.

And I'd suggest you call your doctor's office--they might say "go ahead, use it" or send you a new scrip.

Call.

So I'm looking for a lot of healing ma~~~ headed in the direction of my neighborhood.

Two women were attacked in the public restroom last night. I knew one of them - they fought of the attacker and ran back to the place where we were all hang out. We all poured out of the shop - and while calling 911 the attacker was spotted. some we know. He was caught - it was horrid and M, matt, and K were hurt.

so far the worst for matt is being called a hero by a few people, when quite frankly - he feels like he wasn't using his brain.

Today has been hard - and I still haven't gone and talked to A and her friends again. hearing on e of them apologize over and over for being a bother last night was ...

Oh beth - healing ~ ma aimed right toward your community.

Good grief, beth, that sounds awful.
