I spent most of the day in bed, full DILLIGAF mode engaged.
Successfully showered while keeping dressing dry, covered it with a waterproof but breathable dressing film.
A plumber will be digging up my back yard on Monday or Tuesday to try to work out where the sewer leak is located. There is likely to be a blockage in the line somewhere but it's not obvious where.
I don't need this shit.
It’s a lot of bother, having to keep this area as dry as possible for two weeks while sutured and for another week after suture removal. And if the biopsy shows something nasty, then I probably won’t cope very well at all.
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.
