Ok, Ok, I know some of you might not be as pro-Obama as I am, but I swear, this was one of the most exciting nights of my life (except for the nights that my nieces and nephew were born of course!). I'm sorry that I haven't updated my blog in a while, but I've just been a little MIA lately. I haven't been returning emails or phone calls very regularly, but for no real reason other than just kinda hibernating with the change in the seasons. I'm happy and content and just enjoying school and a little solitude. Weird, huh???
Let's get it out of the way... my medical update. I had an MRI on Friday (yes, Halloween, go figure!) It was different from all the other MRI's I've had. I usually have a few pictures taken, then they pull me out and inject a contrast dye, then take a few more pictures, and it takes about a half hour. This time, they inserted an IV and had the contrast injected throughout the process and I was in the machine for about an hour and a half. I'm told that the machine that I usually have my MRI's on is 1.5 teslas (a measure of magnetism) and this machine was 3 teslas. I was also told that this is the only 3 tesla machine that Kaiser has, so I'm pretty lucky that it was local for me. I'm really feeling like I'm getting top-notch care :) I have an appointment with my local oncologist for November 12th, but I think I'm going to call my favorite doc in Santa Clara to see if I can get some info before then. For now, I'm just trying to focus on all the other exciting things going on, and trying not to worry about the results of this one test.
On to school... This week is finals for my cake class (doesn't it seem like I'm always doing finals???). We have to create a "wedding cake", basically a 3-tiered cake with a theme. I'm doing a "winter wonderland" cake. It will be covered in light blue fondant with ice sickles, snowflakes, snowmen and pine trees. We're going display them on Thursday when my mom (and maybe dad) and Erin will come check it out. We'll take lots of pictures that I'll put on my blog. Then, of course, it's up to you guys to tell all of your friends who might be getting married that I'm just the best wedding cake designer ever, tee hee!
I'll let you all know as soon as I get results from my MRI and I'll post pix of my cake as soon as I have them.
Much love and many hugs and smooches to all of you!!!
Laurie :)
