Does Lubriderm go bad? The skin on my knuckles is dry and cracked right now, so I dug out a bottle of Lubriderm from some of S's old stuff, and put it on my hands. The skin on the back of my hands instantly turned red. I washed it off immediately, but the skin on the bacl of my hands is still red, and now the backs of my hands are all dry, and I think I'm getting some kind of a rash.

yes. lubriderm goes bad. usually after AWHILE though.

take some benadryl or claritin.

This bottle may have been old before I even got here, so it could easily have been that much while. Don't know if I have any benadryl or claratin. I'm so poorly supplied.

Ouch. Slipped in shower, jaw found toilet on way down. Hip, hand, low back and face hurting. Everything moving properly, just ow-ey bruises and likely sprained hand. Ibuprofen/ice/arnica is making work tolerable as long as i'm veeeery careful about what i do with injured hand. typing ok. Picking up lunch bag? So not ok. Can't get appt w/ chiro until Thursday (boooooo.) Wondering if should go with a muscle relaxer (for the resulting back/neck spasms) or actual painkiller for trying to sleep. Still have vicodin and oxy from broken foot. Seems bad idea to mix n match any of the rx's, but i know right now i'm hitting the ibuprofen every 4 hrs so that's not gonna get me decent sleep. This is when being on night shift becomes annoying, the only Dr's avail are at the ER/Urgent care and i'm certainly not that bad off. Boooo.

I slelpt. Not great bit Ifeel asleep and stayed asleep until 4 when are I deciced to take the rest of the klonopin. I feel like I can do things instead of feeling stressed from a night of tossing and turning.

And I realized therapy is really helpful. I was able to stop and redirect the blame and shame thought loops I get.

askye I'm glad you had something remotely resembling a decent night's sleep.

erin_o I don't know what is most likely to help you sleep, but I sure hope you figure out what you need so that you can.

Oh, sleep. I remember that stuff. Vaguely.

Nora & smonster, my sister and BiL are headed to NO for a few days and I am wondering if you have restaurant recommendations for anything nearish where they are staying. They are not people who dress up and go out, so nothin' fancy. They will eat chicken & fish, but no red meat or pork. They are staying at the Country Inn & Suites/French Quarter.

Really, they will be there for the music.

Sox, go clean your ears with hydrogen peroxide.

I did this.

Really, they will be there for the music.

ok, that answers my question.

Neither one of them has ever been before, which is sort of amazing to me considering their misspent youths.

Speaking of sisters, is yours coming to Amerika anytime soon, Sox?

I think she's required to be in San Diego in 2013. I'm hoping so, anyways.
