The front page of the Financial Review today would have raised a few eyebrows today. Maybe it was someone departing the company who got this published.

Re the FT front page, I've also seen a shot of the heqding around the Joe Hockey article that was filler text. Can almost see it in the pic that Shintaro10x linked to.

Thanks. Spiders ( rightly or wrongly) get blamed for a lot of lower limb infections.
 
What happened is that well over a week ago, I woke up with what could have been a bite, a boil or a pimple on the lower leg.

I'd dressed the small pimple/boil & continued working. It gradually got bigger as I worked through Easter (Good Friday, Easter Saturday).

I spent Easter Sunday at the Fire Control Centre (not working on the trains Sunday/Monday/Tuesday) & kept daily dressing changes. But it was getting huge.

After the Easter break, I went to the doctor on Tuesday where it was lanced, drained (somewhat) & dressed.

With the exception of today (thanks to ANZAC Day), there's been a steady improvement, especially the area immediately around the wound. The antibiotics, elevation & keeping off the leg have helped.

New dressing & review tomorrow.

Staying in a B&B in the Barossa Valley. I've never seen so many instructions. The info about the instantaneous water heater is a page long.

Awesome photo. I'm not Australian or NZ but I admire that photo a lot. It says a lot, it tells a story.

All you have to do is read it.
 
I give 1 tab 4x a day. Twice a day is an acceptable dosing regime. I can tell you that the best evidence for dosing is probably in the journal of anecdotal medicine.
