What I did today

Jul 19, 2008 00:13

Today I went to the mole map clinic where they mapped a few for future comparison and removed two suspicious ones right then and there under local anaesthetic. One was on my left calf and the other on my right shoulder. I have to go back next week to get the stitches out. Even if they're melanomas, they were small enough to be caught in plenty of ( Read more... )

What a day! I hope you're not in too much pain from having the moles snipped. Get well soon!
Please let me know what you think of the audio - I like to listen to books,and if you recommend it then I'll start dropping hints to people who love me x

Hardly any pain at all! Just the occasional twinge from my leg.

I somehow doubt I'll recommend it, but I'll give the thing a go on the strength of MK's voice.

I am really torn about hearing When Vila met Gan. I want to hear Vila, just probably not what he has to actually say.

I too would have been trying to work out if the picture lighting was random. I spend quite a lot of time doing that when faced with things like that.

EDIT: and I hope your moles don't hurt x

Yeah, my feelings exactly. The Vila in their series isn't even likeable, but MK might manage it.

Where the moles ere, you mean? It doesn't hurt, but I can sort of feel the place on my leg.

Ow and sympathies on the mole thing, but at least it sounds like you have a good clinic. And the fancy displays seem to have been distracting, if not soothing, as intended.

vilakins July 18 2008, 22:18:55 UTC

Distracting is also good. :-)

You have reminded me I must make an appointment to see the doctor(no Mole Clinics here more's the pity) I have a mole on my neck which just feels bigger when I touch it but looks the same in the mirror. I spent a happy 10 mins waiting for my Chinese take away looking at a more primitive version of your waterfalls. There was just a fan passing over the light at a set speed so it looked as if the waterfall was rippling, but it was the constant speed and the fact my Christmas tree uses the same method to change the colours of the fiber-optics that made me cotton on fairly quickly. I hope the surgery isn't too painful and you heal quickly.

We have to have mole clinics because the sun is so very strong here (more so than anywhere else but Australia--including Africa) and lots of people get skin cancer.

It wasn't a fan going by the vertical movement of the waterfalls and the gentle, quite effective, rippling on the sea. I thought it might be lightly heated gels, but who know? The doctor didn't.

Hope you're doing fine after having those moles removed.

The pictures sound very much like "Kitsch", I've seen something like for sale that in Turkish shops in Hamburg and I thought they were disgustingly ugly.

I wonder whether Nils will watch "Mamma Mia" with me...

vilakins July 18 2008, 22:58:09 UTC

They were definitely kitsch! That was why I was so surprised to see them there. Not only kitsch (I mean, an island sunset?) but obvious electrical leads going to sockets near the floor. :-P

I think they made a noise too, but I couldn't work out of that was them or the aircon.

As for "Mamma Mia", it's a musical so people do break into song in odd places. :-) If he likes Abba music, he may enjoy it. The cinema wasn't very full (we went at a strange time, 6pm) or I would have sung along.
