Mission accomplished (medical edition)

Mole excision: complete.
Elapsed time, entry to exit: 24 minutes.

Sensation: still none. As firstfrost noted, modern anesthetics are Very Good (not to mention instantaneous).
Bandage: off in 3 days.
Stitches: out in 9-10 days.
Short-term prognosis: fine.
Biopsy: results to come.

Now to try and put the incision site entirely out of my head until I can remove the bandage on Friday and get a look at it.

Chance of Diesel appearance tonight: good.
Chance of weekend update before then: excellent.
Chance of contra dancing tonight after that: not so good. :-)

[additional comment offering tickets for tonight's Dresden Dolls show moved to its own post]

oh, and speaking of tonight --

I almost forgot -- my friend Mel has two extra tickets to WFNX's sold-out Boston Music Poll show featuring the Dresden Dolls! Does anyone need them? $22 for the pair or $13 each.

( On with the rundown )

Overall weekend:
Activities: B-
Weather: A
Wardrobe: A-
Company: A+

And now, if not Diesel, at least dinner.

Edit, 10pm: Um, yeah. Have been resting quietly at home for 2+ hours, and the local anesthetic is definitely wearing off. This may explain my general underwhelmedness with the evening. (Yes, I have taken ibuprofen. No, the aching has not yet subsided. Yes, I am tossing around looking for the position in which gravity is least annoying.)

Also, I forgot to go look for a copy of Paladin of Souls today, which I meant to do so that I would have it tonight. Meh.

On the other hand, every single one of you should go read this book. On which note, I'm seriously going to bed now.

**And now I am just waiting for one of you to pipe up and say that you went to college with Lore Sjöberg.
