Russell reporting for meriko:

The biopsy procedure went smoothly. They got the entire tumor out. It appears to be a dermoid cyst - non-cancerous, non-scary - but we will have to wait a couple of weeks for a lab report to verify that.

Frieda is up and about, in a fair amount of pain, but will soon have a new best friend in Tylenol+codeine. As soon as they're able, meriko & Jim will whisk her back to a comfy hotel room for recuperation. Barring complications the plan is for everyone to go home tomorrow.
