My new-pep safety compromise

[randompersonrandom]

I live alone and am solitary by habit. I also have a startling number of loved ones, and I do a LOT of things that involve moderate risk. At the urging of friends and family, I'm in the habit of giving someone I love a heads up before I do something at or above the level of chainsawing up some wood in the back yard, and then pinging them when I'm done; that way if they don't hear from me and I don't respond, someone will know to see to my pets and find me while I don't smell too bad yet, and my mother will never spiral wondering if I'm dead, because someone would call her if I was.

Any time I pin something new for the first time, I do a fifteen minute check in with a girlfriend. I'm not SO worried that I make her come over, because it will almost certainly be fine, but it makes me feel a little little less concerned. I love my cats, and if they had time to eat my face, it might be harder for them to get adopted.

I hope it was not inappropriate for me to laugh but the cats eating your face off and being harder to adopt out cracked me up!!

May want to up the time limit from 15 minutes. There are not too many substances out there that could kill you in that amount of time when taking them sub-q. Lol.

You know, that's a good point; I was thinking allergic reaction, but you're right about there being other ways it could go bad.

They're the sweetest boys, but whoever found them with a mouthful apiece of Face would probably never sleep again.

This just in.

Funny! for a new pep, or new vendor, I always inject like 1-2 units first to be sure, I wait a day. Ever since I read about someone collapsing and being trapped on their bathroom floor for hours, thinking they were dying, I figured it's worth the caution.
An allergic reaction really could be deadly.

Having a pep buddy isn't going to help you if you've injected something that's going to kill you that quickly.
If you're interested in addressing the allergy contingency, dm me and I might be able to help you get an easy EpiPen for really cheap.

That's a good idea. At least have a box of extra strength benadryl

I may do that. I don't really believe the chances of an allergic reaction are so high that it's stupid to not prep for it, but now that I look at it, the fact that I top off my pets' water and text my friend at all instead of pinning new and going about my business tells me something about pinning new while alone with no plan for if the unexpected happens is freaking me out a bit.

Yeah, you know what, that does it for me. I'ma start doing that.

Not a bad choice, but an allergic reaction can come from 2 units or 200 units, if you body decides to go nuts.
