Things to remember, in case I’m ever bright enough to go read my own damn archives:

You’re allergic to latex tape. You might remember this from the time you gave blood and got an arm-circling rash in an hour. That didn’t happen the next time, when you requested non-latex vet wrap, remember? Sometimes, instead of stitches, lazy doctors stick open wounds back together with tape. Tape that contains latex. See above. Remember when you broke your leg, and when the cast came off, the suture lines were all horrible? Yeah, like that. 

If you’re getting your tubes tied, you just might have an incision in a somewhat sensitive area. That you would really rather not be seen scratching like a baboon all day long at work. So don’t forget the latex thing.

And if you do forget it again, you might as well remember to just take the day off if you’re going to pound the benadryl, because you’ll be lucky to survive the drive in to work. Falling asleep at your desk doesn’t make you look good, and it’s even worse when you do it in a meeting.

Gah.
