I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

sara, thirding that. Please do not go swimming.

What about oral Benadryl, Sheryl?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Benadryl cream hasn't worked for me in the past, and I don't know if we have any oral Benadryl. I'm going to slather some Aquaphor on the affected areas, just to let them heal.

Hope that works, Sheryl. I think your odds are pretty good.
