A very dear friend in her mid 70s has died suddenly, we’d known she was quite ill, but she’d kept the details from us. Then, three weeks ago we learned she had signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) in her stomach & had a life expectancy of 12 months.
She passed peacefully yesterday evening at 5:46 with family and close friends present. It was sudden for us, but I guess her family knew a lot more & were reasonably ready to let her go.
@matigo Adhesive on the tape was disolved with a citrus-based solvent & allowed time to saturate the dressing. A soft, spongy mess was removed easily revealing new pinkish skin. Still don’t understand where the blistered top skin went: the adhesive tape was contacting that directly.
@variablepulserate Put the same thing up on a Slack workspace in UK. Moderator took it down & reprimanded me over the use of a certain word. First & final warning, he said.
Wanker. Whilst I respect his viewpoint and the man himself, he just doesn’t understand that such words in the Australian vernacuular lack the same force here. We may be irritated but not really offended to have such words used against us. It’s a surprisingly significant cultural difference.
Anti-iTunes rant in fruity language. Read at own risk. Worthy of the old ADN (@)ranto user. https://d.pr/n/ZKsY7o
Opposite the cemetery where three generations of my ancestors are buried is a garden centre called “Down to Earth.”
@matigo I think so. There’s no apparent infection, so the antibiotics have helped, but I’ll know more tomorrow. Thing is, the doctor wanted a ‘burns dressing,’ whatever that is, the nurses decided to use low-sensitivity adhesive tape normally used to hold dressings in place. Which means the dead skin will be stuck to the tape.
Been 11 days since I scalded my foot with hot tea, resulting in a 1st-degree burn. I’ve been hacking away at the fraying dressing that went on it 9 days ago, so I can attach more adhesive dressing material to it in order to hold it in place.
The affected area is definitely not a pretty sight, (it is dead skin, of course) the nurses at the clinic who attached the original dressing said it could come off in 10 days, I’ll get them to do that on Monday.
@sumudu I have the cables that came with my Nokia 7.1 & MacBook Pro plus a USB-C to USB-C & a USB-C to USB-A cable as supplied with my Samsung T5 external SSD.
I also have a variety of adaptors to make up charge/sync cables where needed.

@hazardwarning I’ve just blasted them on Twitter for their predatory pricing approach to an update. And uninstalled the whore of a thing. Can’t remember the last time I used it anyway, I use Tweetbot.
