Apparently I must consider the possibility of the incision becoming infected. However, I'm already taking antibiotics for another skin condition & am 50% thru the blister pack of tablets, the guys at the Skin Clinic reckon I'll be OK.
Post op instructions say keep dressing over incision clean & dry for the first three days. Incision is on the outer part of the upper right arm. Sutures scheduled for removal in two weeks.
I the area gets wet, I have to replace the dressing with a new breathable one & clean the incision with antiseptic.
So now we wait. Biopsy results will be known by Tuesday next week at the latest.
If benign, no action beyond suture removal. If malignant, then discussion with the doctors will be needed.
Memories from a family reunion 8 years ago. One cousin, whose teenaged kids were into swimming asked one of my brothers if he knew anything about an up & coming 10-year-old swimming star from his part of the state. This 10-year-old girl, Annie, was absolutely blitzing all the opposition in her age group & giving major scares to kids 2 years older.
My brother passed the answering duties over to his wife who said "Annie gets all her athletic abilities from her Aboriginal father's side of the family. Sure as heck she got none from my sister. Yes, I am Annie's aunt."
Small world.
It's nice to be able to look at the list of available wiFi sources on your Mac and determine at a glance the relative battery charge status of your iPhone & iPad.
I was nodding off on the edge of my bed, book in one hand, half a cup of hot tea in the other. I slid slowly over the edge and wound up kneeling on the floor, without spilling any of my tea.
I'll take that as a win.
@jussipekonen I have an old (at least 15 years) Ryobi 18V cordless hammer drill, the Ni-Cad batteries originally supplied with it barely retain a charge now. I have other devices that can use the same battery, too. A wet & dry hand vacuum cleaner & a twin-tube fluorescent lamp. Fortunately, these tools can also use the One + range of lithium batteries. I have 1.4 Ah & 2.5 Ah batteries that suit these tools. I also have a "Hybrid" 20-LED lamp. This can be run from mains power or one of the lithium batteries.

That was fun. It’s near twilight, I had my headlights on as I entered a shopping centre car park. Confronted by a light truck & trailer approaching and moving for the wrong lane in front of me to the correct one beside me. Waited then was about to move again when an SUV comes barging out of a parking bay right into my path. So I waited for that idiot to move as well. Incompetent twat had to do a 3-point turn to sort herself out.
About to head off again and some almost invisible snot-nosed teen on a scooter (horrid individual was wearing black) appears out of nowhere and almost rode into the side of my car.
I shouted, swore and suggested to numpty-git that perhaps he could wear something other than black and if he wanted to be suicidal, the railway line is just 40 metres away.
I acquired a G3 Pismo PowerBook from a friend a few years ago, it was a bit wonky, would only boot from external drives do to some unexplained internal fault. I use a FireWire CF card reader with Tiger & OS 9 on a 32 GB CF card.
Same friend has just contacted me offering another Pismo in better condition with a working HD & a Belkin WiFi card that fits the same slot as the standard AirPort card but is a faster connection.
I love the Pismos, you can have batteries in either the left or right multi-use bays (or in both bays). Various other drives swap in and out (left-side bay only) so you can choose between CD, DVD, Floppy Disk or zip-drive as needed. Assuming you actually have such drives.
It's fitted with a 500 MHz G3 processor & 1 GB of RAM, plus it has a proper keyboard.
