"Never use anything with polymixin in it!"

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure my problem wasn't with the polymyxin B. Because I have had occasion to use Neosporin many times since then including more than once gently rubbing some onto an eyelid (with some fair likelihood that it would get all melty and at least a bit get to my eye in the corner or some such) with zero problem whatsoever. At least one of those times there was a thing in my eyelid that caused me enough concern (because I didn't know what it was, so I worried) that I dragged myself in to the eye doctor to have it checked out. (Turned out to be a tiny little cyst that if it isn't really bothering me, needs no treatment. If does bother, the treatment consists of warm compresses for 10 minutes twice a day.) Doc specifically said there was no sign of allergy going on.

So it must have been the trimethoprim. ETA: Which IS a sulfa drug. So, azithromycin plus one sulfa drug plus possibly whatever the heck Gentamicin is. Hmm.

I'd like to know what the stuff is in non-latex bandages that gives me burning hives when it touches me. The itching burn of latex is almost preferable. I get hurt worse by the bandages than the wounds they're covering. I need to get some more gauze and tape.

YAY, got a UTI! Off to urgent care.

Get the right stuff to help you get well quickly, Nora!

Why do I feel so weird about the fact that a crip fetishist has never hit on me? I mean, in real life, I'd really hate it if somebody was, like, jerking off to my helplessness and whatnot(although, honestly, if you didn't scare me when/if you told me about it, wank away...who hasn't been, well, not *there*, exactly, but you know...) I'm not really the kind of woman that gets hit on...even Anthony Weiner was a mannerly and informed gentleman when we talked(and my mom wasn't around. Being with her is often like being with Raylan Givens at the ammo store...people with bad thoughts probably just move on) but I don't think I want to be in a spank bank *that* badly. I think it's because it's almost a subcultural experience and other crip chicks are like "Ugh, devos[short for devotees} are the worst!1" and I'm Steve Carrel comparing titties to sandbags.

I don't think I would care that much, unless I got messages from somebody who wanted to, you know, keep me in a cage and not let me out, because, dude, I'm a Gavin de Becker fan(not that you need razor-sharp intuition to know that is a really creepy fucking sign.)

Dunno what's harder, trying not to laugh at that, or trying to think of something decently snarky to say in response.

Wait? These exist? Are there female devo's?

Yes and yes.

Seriously, if you can think of it, there's someone for whom it's a fetish.

I suppose so. If Sunday doesn't go well, maybe I should pursue that angle. Capitalize on my largest BID.
