Not normal

Is this normal? Raised, bright red, swollen, bumpy skin under the hypoallergenic blood test tape?

Maybe next time I need to ask for an old-fashioned nasty band-aid. Do they even have them anymore at the labs? I'll bring my own from home.

(I know this is a gratitude blog and to tie everything in, I have to say I'm grateful for 'not normal'. Nothing seems to react as expected with my body. Hello 911? Yes, I just tried a smidgen of another new drug and its not going well... As so many lymies know, to say this is not only terribly frustrating but also terrifying is an understatement. However, I'm still grateful for 'not normal'. How would my mind be this open and my compassion and empathy be this large without all the lessons being an outlier has taught me?)
