Good morning denizens of the diner. How do you feel after Thanksgiving?

My breakfast was a piece of quiche. I need some fruit. And more coffee.

It’s windy and cold. We are expecting 5 inches of snow (note to Wonderer, measure the depth of snow not length of . . .).

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!!!

Wow! Sounds like a helluva feast!

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!

I am no nurse.

But I play one on TV.

I would just say that you should have it looked at by a med professional. Not easy I know, cuz your in the middle of the ocean.

Does the red area feel hot? If so that may be a clue that it’s infected.

Yum and thanks

You're quite welcome!

You’re getting five inches??? Heh heh

During the holidays, I'd be pressed to get it looked at on dry land.
I haven't really noticed heat (to the touch) but its internal pain has one helluva burning sensation.

I do carry a big bottle of antibiotics and could start slamming them, but I hate to if that's not the problem...
But it might be the best thing to do.
Thanks, Brother!

To answer your question…

I feel pretty good. I didn’t overeat too much. I’m looking forward to working in the woods and finishing off my solar kiln today and tomorrow.

Still haven’t had coffee. And I usually don’t eat breakfast. I’m stuck on the last eating fad (or maybe it was two fads ago) intermittent fasting. I usually eat 2x a day abs go 12-14 hours between dinner and breakfast.

Been doing this for abt 6-7 years now.

I am back from lunch and watching football.There was lots of turkey and all the trimmings. I just finished off the pie. After the game it’s walking the old dog who has nine lives.

It’s a good game by banged up teams. I wished the NFL was not a race of teams with less attrition.

I wish it wasn't watching a passle of millionaires like it mattered. The Ravings on gobble gobble day looked like a twisted version of gobblecock, because they sucked out loud.

...yeah, I was thinking about MissK, having her procedure, earlier this morning.

If living was easy, anyone could do it.

It's a privilege and a burden simultaneously. Reserved for few, gotten out of alive by none.

Incorrigible.

How did you know my nickname???

 

[Wat_Tyler]

She needs to do her damn job!

She did. Kinda. Finally. She told the brother unit she had, and then 40 minutes later, she did. After she told him what a beeyotch the woman I like is.


Did I tell all y'all that she's adorable???


Because she is.


The one who does her fucking job . . . .

No, Incorrigible, the Executive Director. Wat aims for the stars . . .


and then falls to the ground.


Up. Coffee. They move the doctor today. That'll be some kinda all day affair, kinda like yesterday. Which reminds me, I have a pound cake recipe to look for to share/trade for a kick-ass corn pudd'n recipe. TDK is on the prowl like a little red rooster. Waiting for the front porch cat to grace us.


I wonder what the ED will be wearing today.
