I had a boy over last night, somewhat unexpectedly. After he'd gone I went into the bathroom (which he'd used), and...
there were used (capped! I'm not a total slob) syringes lying on the countertop and a home blood pressure monitor on the floor.
Dammit.
He never actually said anything about them, of course. He didn't do anything to make me think he had noticed them - but they were right there. Of course he noticed them.
There's nothing like a "hi, welcome to my home hospital" to pique a man's interest.

Wow. Guess that's one quick way to weed out the ones who can't handle ALL of you!

Ah...that sucks. If you like him, is there a way you could ask him about it? Or just ask him to another activity and see how he acts. I don't know I'm not much of a dater myself (although I'm aspiring to be), but I tend to think talking about stuff helps. By the way I know I've posted before....but I also have a pacemaker and I just started humira for PsA this month so I think it's pretty cool to follow your blog. Thanks for writing!

Melissa - wow, I know I've heard from you before but I don't think I knew you were dealing with PsA as well. I'm excited to know someone else dealing with both cardiac issues and arthritis.
I ended up telling him about the ICD, because he was staring at my scar over the top of my shirt and I figured I may as well explain. He was very easygoing about it, actually!
Yeah! Easygoing is good :). I try to be hopeful because some men (and women) do actually have good perspective on health issues.
Yeah I knew I had the PsA, but my doctors debated for a bit, but it's actually kind of bad. I like being able to walk without my rt. hip hurting for instance so I am glad there are meds.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has made embaressing mistakes! I have just recently be diagnosed with RA at age 25, and struggle to date anyone post-diagnosis. I find that often I don't want to burden someone else with what is a highly private matter for me. So, I hide the needles and try not to limp while any guy is around!
