Put it somewhere dry and hairless
Feb. 25th, 2008 07:58 amSo I got my doctor to switch my prescription over from intramuscular injection to topical gel.
( Cut for injection talk )
He said something about a patch, but what it turns out to be is little silver foil packs of gel, about the size of the narrow lube packs you get in safer sex kits. You open it up and you smear that sucker on.
It's an alcohol gel, so it dries fairly quickly, but it leaves this powdery residue on your skin. Like Man Pollen.
The doctor phoned the order in to the drug store, and I went in to pick it up. I sat down across from the pharmacy assistant, who went over the Rules somewhat haphazardly with me.
"Does it matter where you put it?" I asked.
He struggled quietly for a moment. "Put it somewhere... dry and hairless."
"I understand." I said.

*That is several other stories.
