Still in hospital, the various attempts to clear the arthritic knee of inflammation and bacterial infection are working but quite slowly. I’m going to try walking with support from a non-wheeled walking frame tomorrow as the pain is reducing.
On a different subject yesterday I bought a $42 battery razor from Amazon, directing the purchase to a friend’s address. It shipped today and is expected to arrive tomorrow. Assuming it does my friend will drop it off on Friday around noon.
The hospital’s idea of a razor is a Bic single blade disposable thing that gouges more than it shaves. Hideous thing.
The attachment shows why I need a shaver.

This is an older hospital building with poor if any air conditioning. The next three days are expected to average 38°C so I asked s friend to drop off a box fan, which he did this morning. I have it perched stop my rollator walker. It’s doing a fine job. Rather than oscillating, it has a rotating louvre to distribute the air in a wider zone.

The M3 MacBook Airs will technically support two external displays but only while in clamshell mode with the lid closed.

With the arrival of M3 processors in the MacBook Air range, I’ve decided to get one. I’ve chosen the 15-in version with 512 GB storage and 16 GB memory.

I have never felt pain as intense as this without relief. I’m even refusing to take oxycodone because it does nothing to counteract the pain emanating from the knee inflammation.

Arrived by taxi at the hospital about 8.5 hours ago, fare paid by the ambulance service. Massive swelling in the arthritic left knee, impossible to walk without great pain. They’ve extracted some fluid for analysis to determine if the problem is gout or a bacterial infection. The action of draining said fluid have provided significant relief from pain and it’s easier to put weight on it.

There’s no truth to rumours that Apple cancelled their electric car project because they were unable to stop the roof getting all scratched when you turn them upside down to plug in the lightning cable.
It may also be that they couldn’t get it to work with only one pedal…
