This has me concerned because I'm handling plants and stuff for the public.

Wear gloves.  Which you should be doing anyway with what you've got going on.  They'll also help with protecting your hands in the event of another fall.

I learned some lessons about how seriously dangerous chemo meds can be when we did the mechanical work on a new VA Hospital wing several years ago. In particular, the lab where they mixed and prepared the chemo admixtures had 3 exhaust hoods that served 3 workstations where they did the actual mixing/measuring. Each upblast lab hood fan on the roof directly above had to shoot the exhausted air straight up for a minimum of 30 feet (verified via smoke test) before the prevailing winds could move it horizontally. One of those fans;

I never got to see that lab in operation, but I don't envy those workers one bit. Whatever they got paid probably wasn't enough.

An unrelated, but interesting lesson, was the quench system for the MRI. Considering the MRI tube houses an electromagnetic coil that can pull over 200 amps, there has to be a cooling system in place in case of a short circuit in the coil that could quickly cook anyone in the tube. For that purpose, there was a 300 gallon tank of liquid helium on the roof directly above, with a 3" line piped to the MRI shell. 

Be careful with that stuff Oneshot!

 

I can't dance like I used to.

Called the Cancer Doctor she said I should be ok long as I keep my hands washed.

No kissing.

"Should be".  

Her version of keeping your hands washed, and YOUR version.....are likely very different.    I know that my version and my wife's version are nothing alike.

She'll wash her hands because she tossed me the rag that I wiped mine on.

When my youngest sleeps with me occasionally she will check my hands to see if I washed them after I wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom 😂

I bet there's some lush grass under that deck...😂

I'm not a big night-time pisser, to be honest.  I hear everyone talk about waking up in the middle of the night, sometimes several times, because they have to pee......but I piss before I lay down, and I'm usually good for the night.  🤷

That's still a lot of fertilizer. 😆   I pee outside my garage on the side of the house occasionally.  Nice grass there!!
