OMG @Beer can and I'm a retired nurse! Hope you are soaking that along with the ABTs. Feel better. That makes me hurt just looking at it.

Turkeys had the last laugh though, cost me two days of work. Ended up getting a bad infection in my pinkie from a tiny cut while processing them, just nicked my knuckle with a fillet knife. Did them up on Tue , thanksgiving day it started to feel a little infected (I had washed my hands of course that day and bleached everything I touched including my hands) Thursday I started dousing it with alcohol and then peroxide, went to bed with it wrapped up with Neosporin, woke up Fri swelled up and turnin color I ended up going to the ER, they couldn't even squeeze anything out of it.
I cut myself about every time I gut and process a deer never anything like this. Heck I even yrs ago ran over my foot with a push lawnmower after a lot of adult beverages and didn't really clean it up till next day got infected but nothing peroxide and Neosporin couldn't handle. First time I've been on antibiotics in at least 15yrs.

Hurt like he!! I actually went to work Fri and was going to put it off till end of day but showed the lab supervisor when I was testing a milk sample, he's a baddasz retired Marine sergeant, he said 'damn, you better get to urgent care and get a shot or something for that!' Soo, beings I know he's seen much worse I asked if I could leave and get it taken care of Lol.

Make sure you check in with us in a few days... so we know it got better.

Beer Can it is painful to look at. I am empathic and just seeing it gives me squeamish
chills. Hope you are current on tetanus shots or boosters. Better safer than sorry.

Beer, get to soaking it, and see if the doctor will give you a prescription for silvadene. It works better than neosporin.

But were the turkeys tasty??
Sorry they exacted such a revenge, Beercan. Do keep us posted on your healing.

The rain is here, so I guess I'll get the Christmas wrapping underway and actually be timely in mailing the parcels for once.

Forgot to post yesterday but I made dinner again last night.



Oh and this was breakfast the other day.



And I made extra last night so I’m currently eating leftovers for lunch along with some berries and a few saltines just for the carbs since this doesn’t have any. We only have ginormous sweet potatoes and I’d rather not cook a giant one just for me. Might cook some up to add to it tonight though.

That's really ugly Beer!!!!!!! Hope it heals fast now that the medical team has taken a shot at it. Sure sounds like you did everything reasonably possible on your own.

I got the kitchen cleaned today...discovered I had green counter tops...

Better clean some more, probably mold and algae!

I got the kitchen cleaned today...discovered I had green counter tops....Also got the perimeter fence repaired where Varn got through yesterday. Took two young ACDs on a run, made pizza for dinner. The end.

Nice! Saturday was shopping day. I did make mac n cheese with hot dogs for dinner.

Today I have baked banana bread and three loaves of sandwich bread are in the oven. I did bleach the farmers sink and ran a load of dishes. I have one of those new monster baking chickens to bake for dinner and I have to do some yard work between thunder storms today.

Days off can be quite busy!

We do not heal as well when we are older.
