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.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.
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.
Sparky, glad everyone's okay.
Sarameg, oh ouch ouch I hope the surgeon finds you a fast time to fix this.
I can't sleep bc this new book (that I am not apparently working on at the moment) won't leave me alone and I am mad at the internet.
msbelle, I'm glad you got the paperstuffeurocracy sorted and hope you get everything back.
