Your cat tried to sniff one of your lines? Thats some funny shit.
Yeah I guess this thread isn't so much about how angry we get when botching a fix, but the stupid things we do when trying to salvage it... Some great stories in here.
I shoot dilaudid, and more than once i've knocked the spoon and spilled the happy juice all over the kitchen counter (I have my own place and do all my "cooking" in the kitchen, heh heh).
One time I was so desperate I took the pea sized piece of cotton and began soaking up the spilled liquid, squeezing it drop by drop back into the spoon. I think I recovered about half of it, and i sat there literally licking the counter to get the rest of the stuff.
Of course, then came the big debate - do I shoot up a mixture that was all over the kitchen counter? I mean my counter is pretty clean but still, its really not a good idea to shoot "compromised" liquid; god knows what microscopic filth was now in the shot! And I have plenty of pills, so its not like I was down to my last.
But each pill is precious so, like a moron, I banged it anyway. And lived.
But next time it happened I just stuck to licking the counter dry.
On a few occasions, when I am crushing up the pills, I knocked over the pill crusher and spilled my magic fairy dust all over the place. I didn't want to risk IVing it so I grabbed a straw and went to town!
