Ovarian Cancer Awareness Bracelets

April 7th, 2008

Edit: That was a record…the bracelets sold out in an hour. DAMN! I’ll promise to make some more this week while I take a break one night from the computer and relax. In fact it just might be tonight.

Yesterday I wrote a post about the fact that I’m missing a day of work today and I’m not getting paid. On top of not getting paid I have a $150 co-pay for todays procedure. Talk about getting double bitch-slapped.

In light of that I thought I’d show you some of my Ovarian Cancer Awareness Bracelets that I’ve made…I’m always making jewelry. The first five are all made from glass beads with silver-plated toggle clasps. The ovarian teal awareness ribbon beads are also glass. Each bracelet is around 7″ long.

If you would like the exact measurements just email me at lisaclusterfook at gmail.com.

These bracelets are $20 each, $2 for shipping and handling, and are for sale through PayPal.

Bionic Biopsy

April 7th, 2008

There is no curing a sick man who believes himself to be in health. ~Henri Amiel

Today I’m having a biopsy done of the tumors in my abdomen and the tumors in my liver. Now we get down to the nitty gritty of what’s going on. I’m thrilled and excited, aren’t you?

Actually I wish we didn’t have to do it at all. Whenever you take a needle and poke a tumor with it there’s a risk that you are going to release some cells…which could make this nasty disease spread to other organs.  That’s the easiest way I can break it down without getting all medical and scientific.

I don’t like to get all medical and scientific…

Why do I call it a bionic biopsy? Lack of sleep for one. I’m so sleep deprived it’s silly. I’m afraid I’ll miss something. I’m also afraid that if I go to sleep I won’t wake up. Now isn’t that silly?

The biopsy is also dubbed “bionic” because it’s being performed by the doctor with mad skills, poor bedside manner…the one who said 10 times, “this is complicated, very, very complicated.”  Looking back I wish I would have given him a snarky retort.  I guess I was in shock so I’ll do better next time.

The bionic biopsy is an outpatient procedure that will be performed at 9:30 am EST…send good vibes my way.

With any luck I’ll be home by noon and napping…
