You are a good son.

Watch she doesn’t try to escape using a ladder or a cherry picker.

You’ll haveta lock that place up tighter than the Louvre.

And I hope you have a better network password than ā€œLouvreā€ šŸ˜‚
Thanks. I need either a full time nurse or a service dog that bites her every time she tries to do something she’s not supposed to do!

Left her alone for a couple hours yesterday when she was supposed to be napping, and I could go get cleaned up and get the food ready to bring over later. Get over there, the damn Manger Scene has been set up on the TOP SHELF over her TeeVee…no way to do that except stand on the step coming down into the den and lift these things over your head, set them up, and tinker to get them just right. 😫

Wits end I tell ya…

Other than that we had a very nice scaled down Thanksgiving supper. Just the right amount, wasn’t too stuffed. We put the Great Nut Cake Unwrapping off till today. I left the youngest with her last night and he and I are going to set up the tree and other decorations this morning. The actual decorating the tree we’ll wait for the kids to get back from TX.

It’s cold…gonna light the fire and sip a strong coffee…

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.
Hoping and praying for the best for your momma. Taking care of these ladies of advanced age is…harder than I ever thought.
 
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!
So i am leaning 2 ways infection or local reaction. So for local reaction i would ice ibuprofin and some benadryl
If that doesnt work you may need to see a doc and get antibiotics. (Stupid comment removed with edit) . . If you see a red line leading out from the main area of redness it is more urgent to get antibiotics started.
I assume the directions say give into subcutaneous fat? Of which you have none?

Lillianna what do u think?

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 . . . .
Calling someone a bitch that holds u accountable shows u what her character truly is....

If that doesnt work you may need to see a doc and get antibiotics.. It is very hard to inject into lymph node on accident . . If you see a red line leading out from the main area of redness it is more urgent to get antibiotics started.

Lillianna what do u think?
Thank you SOOOO much MissK! 😘
I've been checking often for any red streaks and found none so far.
... I didn't read the directions... oops, I just did what the Doc loosely instructed, as it sounded simple enough.
Yes Ma'am, I know, it's my f'k up...
Thanks again and I hope YOU are doing well!
 
I used to say "Manners and integrity are the only things you can use for free."

"Integrity" has long been removed from the list, as I've had it cost me dearly.
Best to not be too trusting until people show their true colors ...usually takes about 6 months.... and very few people have integrity
People show u who they are.... believe them
Live many trust few always paddle your own canoe
