Well that's that, I suppose.

Day 9. Cleaned, bandage. Noticed a little purple-ness in the finger and some tenderness, so since I have the next 3 days off, I've started 400mg ibuprofen again (I don't mind nosebleeds as long as I'm not at work) and I am going to take it easy on the hand-use.
-
Day 7/8 were uneventful. Kept bandages on, no drugs. Starting to increase sensitivity (I'm not intentionally using it, but I've noticed some things offhandedly). I can feel my clock out machine from maybe 8 inches away now.

I had a cookie today. :3

I would love the doorframe idea. I may eventually want it to be read more often, but I love the concept and it would definitely help prove a lot of other concepts.
-
Day 6. Cleaned. Bandaid/steristrip. 400mg ibuprofen. I'm going to stop taking ibuprofen after today because it's brought back my susceptibility to nose bleeds (I've always been very sensitive to blood thinning drugs).
-
Looks okay. Mine doesn't have any peeling skin, but the incision and stitch holes look the same.
-
I see what you mean about the range of motion on the upper armpit, so I tested out a few spots, still trying to avoid blood vessels and lymphs, and found a good spot with little motion. It's just to the left of the pectoral muscle, in base of the armpit. I'd recommend cutting vertically to minimize the risk to blood…
-
I think armpit is probably the most reliable spot on the body because it's as medial as you're gonna get without cutting into your chest or belly, it's a tried-and-true medical place to measure temperature, and if you look at diagrams of blood vessels on the body, it's got one of the smallest concentrations. The only other…

Day 5. Stitches out. Trickle of blood. Cleaned with alcohol. Bandaid. 400mg ibu. No more important milestones, but I'm in the home stretch. Just gotta keep it covered for another 9 days and then I should be good.
-
Steristrip. Bandaid. Cleaned. No pain. 400mg of you-get-the-picture. Stitches out tomorrow afternoon.
-
Concerning the incision point, I've been looking at other transaxillary procedures and I happened upon a picture from breast augmentation that should shed some light on where the safe zone is. Seems the very top of the armpit pocket is free of lymph nodes and major blood vessels.
-
I would love another. Data is kewl, yo.
-
@chironex, so what do you think about the liquid scints available at st gobain?
-
@glims, this discussion is based around an unpowered, passive radiation detector. That discussion is about an electronic gieger counter.
-
Here's some BC-412 glowing under radiation (or possibly UV light, it does both I think).
-
So it looks like the main Plastic Scintillator (BC-408) is composed of polyvinyltoluene (PVT) and activated with anthracene. PVT is bad for eyes and skin but should be fine when sealed in something and anthracene is also an irritant, but is found in cigarettes so it's not super terrible. So... yeah. This stuff when mixed…

I realize the Haworth doesn't come with TiN, but it is a little bigger than an M31, so I was wondering if you'd ever taken his crap off and tried TiN for a little more oomph. Guess not.
-
New steristrip/bandaid, cleaned, a little sensitivity but no big deal, 400mg ibuprofen. Also, my laptop battery has some serious EMF around it and it legitimately hurts to get within a few inches, so I won't be doing that until I'm fully healed. Stitches come out tomorrow or sunday.
-
Sorry to ask, but do you have similar numbers for the m36 or a Haworth in TiN?
-
I just got my magnet, but this thermal chip is quickly becoming the second thing on my wishlist.
-
400mg ibuprofen.
-
Day 2. Cleaned with alcohol. New steristrip, with bandaid over. Still able to use hands freely. My clock out machine has become a guilty pleasure and only one of my fellow employees knows why i giggle so much when I use it.
-
Pushing the blood out shouldn't have been a problem for the lidocaine if you did a nerve block and local injection and waited 5 min.
-
Why don't you guys implant them in your anus. :)

Started writing a Basic First Aid page to go in the Medical Education section.
-
I took a bit of a liberty with the wiki if nobody minds. I started a new section on the main page called Education. I think we should be clearly differentiating between the "project instruction" and the "learning about stuff" sections of the wiki. I also moved the Anatomy and Physiology and Genetics pages into the Medical…
-
Cool stuff, but these are all bone grafted. Nevertheless, very cool. It's possible that with a deep enough implant, the skin growth alone may be able to hold a small exterior piece using this system.

"These are people looking for attention. They are not contributing to science. This is not a published, peer-reviewed article. It is a document purporting to review a wild idea that a person decided to patent. The 'review' describes subjecting a volunteer to a poorly supervised, untested, unapproved chemical treatment that…

Nice coverage.
