The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I was stuffed. I ate the pumpkin pie in the afternoon. Then took a walk with the dog. It was a very short walk as very cold windchill. 😬

The Lions lost ☹️.

But I cherish the time I spent with friends. Most would have been alone. I’m glad we did this and think we can do it at Christmas too.
Love that! Way to take care of your friends! And you!
 
Boat....

What kind of spread did you have?
Starters were a veggie tray, w/sweet pickles and olives, deviled eggs w/bacon.
Mains were spiral cut, glazed ham and a stuffed turkey.
Sides were green bean casserole, a crazy good potato casserole (recipe taken from a coworker's wife)... awesome squash and zucchini fingers, gravy, Hawaiian rolls and cranberry sauce.
Desserts were apple, pumpkin and pecan pies and some of my Goddess's homemade Zucchini bread that She baked for us...
We ATE!!!
 
There is a "social worker" at the facility where Dr. Tyler is now and will be transferred from. They need to get some information over to the new place. Social was supposed to be all over that. Guess what hasn't happened? I think she's big into the "social" part and serving a heaping helping of weak-sauce on the "worker" part. Wat has seen this kinda shiznit before . . . .


Auto-correct wanted to make that into Shiite. Maybe it's onto something. :D
She needs to do her damn job! 😤🤬
 
A question for you wonderful nurses here (or anyone with knowledge/experience on this)

I have a problem. I just started a new (to me) HRT last Saturday. It's the "T" injection, prior to returning to the boat on the following Tuesday.
At 6'1" approximately 165 lbs, my legs are skinny AF and I basically don't have an ass, so I used my inner, right thigh.

Everything seemed fine for the first couple of days, with no more soreness than getting a Tetanus booster in the arm.
By day three, it was getting pretty intense and now, the damn leg is pretty much unusable.
The increased swelling/inflammation has coincided with the pain and there is mild to moderate redness on an area about the size of my hand.
The swelling surrounding the infection site is firm/harder than the other tissue, but the "swelling" near the back of my knee is softer and feels more like fluid. The lack of usability and pain (which I have a very high tolerance to) are the most troubling part, in addition to the condition worsening, rather than improving.

I felt like I was very "clean" about the process, thoroughly washing first, then a profuse alcohol washing, so I wasn't really thinking it would be infection.

My initial thought (and my captain's) is that I hit a lymph node or part of that system (or something else that I shouldn't have)

I guess my question is, has anyone ever heard of that happening, if so is there anything I can do about it, or do I just have to ride this one out?

Thanks in advance, as any help would be greatly appreciated!
