Steroids and antibiotics and the swelling went down, but I still have redness.

Itchy leg...

I sit at a computer for many hours and my cardiologist prescribed compression stockings. I bought a pair from a store that sells medical supplies. They were fitted to my foot and leg dimensions. I found them uncomfortable and would make my legs itchy if I had them on for more than an hour or two.
So, I ordered some from Amazon that were a size larger and kept them on for at least 6 hours. When I removed them, my legs and ankles were uncontrollably itchy, worse than the previous pair. I got no relief from scratching.
I researched reasons for itchy ankles and one symptom was diabetes. Ruling that out as my weekly sugar levels are in the normal range and I'm doing brisk walking 4 to 5 times a week.
I put some Benadril anti-itch medicine on the affected areas but it only worked for an hour or two and an itchy episode came back.
How do you cure an itch?
You scratch it... I did and broke the skin. This started a viscous cycle.
This all started 2 months ago. My leg swelled so much I went to the doctor. He had me go for an ultrasound to be sure it didn't create a blood clot. Simple test... no clot.
The medical technician thinks I've got an allergy to the material the stockings are made from.
Since then I've been to the doctor a few times, dermatologist a few times, had antibiotics twice, two different steroid based ointments and the pain, swelling and redness persists.

Who remembers vinyl records. Often called LP's for Long Play.
They ran at a speed of 33 rpm.
I was in the department store passing the music and video section to see they actually have collections of vinyl albums.

I noticed the local pharmacy had remove the plastic shields at the registers. None of the grocery store staff are wearing masks. A small percentage of the customers in several stores are making up.
Things appeared to be getting back to normal and now I see the office staff at two physician's office are masking up this month saying some of their patients have tested positive for COVID, or variant.

It was reported that Donald J. Trump was using campaign donations to fund his legal defense. That may put him under investigation for misuse of funds.
It is now a top story that he has spent more than forty-million on legal fees.

Carbon Fiber...

I was confirmed the 21-foot tourist submersible named Titan had imploded and the remains of the wreckage were near the Titanic that it was attempting to explore.
Many engineering professionals said it the that hull made from carbon fiber that failed.
I disagree with that and believe it was the plastic viewport that failed. Either way, all 5 on board perished and it could take months of research to determine the cause of the implosion.

Some members still have a profile photo wearing a mask. Most places have dropped the mask requirements.
