In the Hospital

by Lisa on August 21, 2008

in Uncategorized

I’m in the hospital with a face the size of a blowfish. No one knows what is wrong with me. There was a rumor I had a blood clot near my heart but thank goodness that’s not the case.

I have no idea how long I’ll be stuck here. Hopefully, I’ll be sprung in time for the Bead Expo or I’ll be crushed.

Sorry I didn’t answer comments on today’s post. I’ll be sure to do that as soon as I’m back home.

They did a CT scan and found that the cancer in my lungs is getting worse. That’s a bummer but I’m hoping that more chemo will fix that.

Send some good vibes and juju my way if you’ve got some to spare…I promise to pay you back…

Lisa, did you realize that blowfish actually have tiny faces? Do you have a tiny face? Because I’d like to see a picture. Anyway, a face the ’size’ of a blowfish is preferable to the “face of a blowfish”. Those suckers are UG-LY!

I hope you smiled-or at least smirked- at that. I’m sending lots of positive thoughts and energy your way. Hang in there.

MUAH!
