Last night went to instant care for my puppy bite which is now infected. The way the doctor acted you would think Cujo bit half my hand off. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway, she prescribed two oral medicines, which she had to consult another doctor about, and a cream. Got the cream.

No way I was taking two antibiotic that she was unsure that I should take due to my allergies. 🙄. Plus the woman doctor was wearing 3 masks, one was an N95, and a face shield. Pretty sure a puppy bite won’t give you COVID-19. Most doctors give you a general exam when you show up. She was totally hands off. Certainly not one of the medical “heroes”.

Anyway, sent my doctor a message this morning.
 

Browsing online to see what can get me Visa Cash Back Points..............I see lots of stuff, too bad you have to jack up your credit card $$$$ to get the points.

Sorry to read about the bite getting infected.

Did the doctor tell you to soak hand in Epsom salts or dilute peroxide in warm water?

Sending healing thoughts to you.🧑‍🦰

Thanks. No episode salts, 🤦🏻‍♀️, nurse just called me and said get those prescriptions! I agreed as my doctor is closed today. Then tomorrow I have to go in for blood work. Because I am “medically fragile” apparently this is a big deal, and it’s not really a bite, it’s a rip cause the tip of her tooth got caught in my skin.

Anyway the pills that kill the infection can cause me kidney issues because I am in kidney failure so they have to check blood work. And if anything changes with the wound I have to go to the ER. My medical condition is so complicated 🙄, it’s such a pain to be me. 😢
 
I made an early morning trip to the laundrette and stopped for a few groceries on the way home.

It has been bitter cold with temps below zero as evidenced this morning by two homeless people sleeping in the laundrette. Counting my blessings and giving thanks for my comfortable drama-free life.

A blizzard is on the way tonight that could leave us with a foot of new snow on top of a foot already on the ground.

and the beat goes on...

yes well despite you being in the high risk group..I suppose they're doing it more by age.

I know they are here, They started off with those in care homes, and everyone over 80..then 70..now it's over 60 which is me...

Same kind of thing here. Group one is people in care homes, care home staff, people who have home care, their partners and home carers. Group two nursing staff, risk groups and all over 65. Group two that's me but vaccination isn't going as fast as planned because we're getting fewer doses delivered
 
We are just doing the other 70’s now with more vaccines to come in March when they will start a different age group. I suppose it was, in a way, my son got COVID when he did, survived it, a d now has a bit of protection for a while against it.
 
With cold, crap weather (e.g., some sleet) and no motorcycle, I have continued working on restoring old photos. Am also continuing work on a long-suffering art piece and creating a variation of my pot roast recipe that uses the beef (chuck) and cabbage that's in the fridge. The recipe will, of course, have to contain onion carrots and celery. If corned beef can go with cabbage, I figure other cuts of beef can also be made to work. I will, of course, cheat by using the Instant Pot and spice or sauce packet (e.g., McCormick's pot roast seasoning or Campbell's tavern roast sauce. The question to be answered is how well the cabbage will play with the rest of the ingredients.

I put cabbage in my pot roast all the time. I don't use a crock pot. I put it in the last 30 minutes or so.
Here's a tip: Carrots can over power anything with their flavor. So I roast the carrots and chucks of potatoes (or small ones)
in the oven. This gets the carrot juice out of them with a nice roasted flavor. Plus the potatoes are roasted and they absorb the pot-roast gravy! I put both of those in at the end too.
