Timelies all!
Surgery~ma, sara.
Woke up yesterday with itchiness on my right pinky. Scratched it a bit, until I realized there were three raised bumpson the back of it. I have not been scratching it, but every time that finger brushes something, the bumps get redder and larger. One of the bumps has started oozing. I have no idea what has caused this, nor do I know what to do. Cortizone creams do not work on me. Meh.
Like go swimming? Because if I feel this normal tomorrow after I take it when I get home, I just might.
That weird feeling you might have just started experiencing is me, giving you the STINKEYE all the way from Ohio. Don't go swimming when you're on opiates for acute pain. If you can't work or drive while taking it, swimming is right out. Seriously, please avoid bodies of water.
lisah, totally worth it! You and Bob should be just taking weekend trips anywhere Southwest flies!
Sara, what La Tep said. Please don't. The pool will be there after you're off the hydrocodone.
sarameg, first, I'm sorry that you have the plague. Kids and I have it now and I just spent my lunch hour on the phone with Grace's pulmonologist.
Also, gallstones. ACK. OH NO. I am so so so sorry.
sara, thirding that. Please do not go swimming.
What about oral Benadryl, Sheryl?
Sheryl, how about calamine lotion?
sarameg, sorry about your ginormous gallstone, see if you can keep it and make jewelry. Glad the drug is easing your pain but please do not swim! Do not do anything, in fact. Just lie on the couch and stare at the tv. Or the ceiling. Be safe.
Cannot even engage about OSU. So sad, so mad, so weary.
Yeah, I'd hold off on the swimming.
Hydrocodone made me feel so good that when I came back from surgery to move my ulnar nerve, I started pulling weeds in the yard. With the arm that had just been operated on.
So, no.
There are benadryl creams, also, which I have found useful for highly localized stuff like that. And cover with gauze or a bandage or something. Maybe clean with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol or witch hazel or something first - I usually do that but I don't know if it actually does any good, I just figure if there is still irritant on my skin, get it off.
You overestimate the motivational effects on me; an hour later, I was asleep.

Oh thank god.
