Requesting permission to laugh

[averygoodun42]

What prompts this bout of mirth, you might ask? Irony. It seems I really am allergic to the type of bandage they use at the doctor's office (and hospital). I now have hives right next to the raw, red spot above my ankle. Fortunately, it itched enough for me to remove the bandage before the skin got so irritated that it decided to just abandon me, like it did last time I had this type of bandage on for lengthy periods. One raw, red spot is enough, thank you.

Perhaps that isn't irony, but it's close enough for me to call it as such.

I hate allergies. I really, really do.
