How long do you want to keep this open fawnmart? I'm fine with leaving it up for a while if others are interested in me wearing something they designed PERMANENTLY on my body for the REST OF MY LIFE...
Okay, here's something a bit out of the box... I don't make anything crafty, but I love art, and even more so, I love being a walking canvass for art.
Walking canvass? Why, krissyjo, whatever do you mean?
I'm so glad you asked, random person!
I collect art, permanently, on my body. That's right folks, I'm talking about TATTOOS!
One lucky person will get to design a piece that will become a part of my body FOREVER! You may think I'm crazy, but this is for a great cause, and I am happy to have something to offer.
DETAILS
Tattoo will go on my outer left ankle.
Highest Bidder (HB) chooses/designs the tattoo
Once design is received, tattoo will happen within 2 months (to give time for me to make an appointment, of course)
If requested, pictures of tattoo in progress will be sent to HB
HB will receive a framed, color print of healed tattoo. (autographed upon request)
GUIDELINES (Because I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.)
Maximum size: 3x3 (post-it note), or a wrap-around piece like an anklet
No nudity, skulls, or anything offensive. (I know "offensive" is broad, but once my ankle space is yours, we'll discuss if necessary)
An actual graphic is preferred, though text (i.e. quotes) can be considered.
Bump or did we call this yet? If so, I will be pre-occupied for the next month. Got make a trip out west to BRC. so my design will be finished after that experience. I say that in case we want to keep this open.

I think I'm ready to call it. It's been open way long enough and it hasn't had movement in a while, so Scrog - My ankle is all yours!!!

I'm kind of excited... and nervous
Sounds good. Be nervous, very nervous. I am working on my penis drawing skills.

Got your back on this one KJ. I'll make sure it is the finest Banana Stand ink. And will get the thread updated before the weekend. Sorry I've had to be away from it for a bit.

LoVies, needing all the good vibes you can muster. Today is the PET scan and tomorrow the appt telling us the results. Hoping for some good news and a return to planning a future filled with decades of music, roads less traveled, sunflowers and love.
Thank you for being here with us throughout this journey to hell, and hopefully back.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Well... The PET showed no new affected areas. And the lymph nodes and tumor look better, but the cancer is still there. Conventional medicine has little more to offer, other than oral chemo that would give only 3-6 months of further suppression, plus a bunch of nasty side effects.
The cancer has been stunned, per se. We are looking deeper into alt clinics (one is in Houston, one in CA/Mexico, one in ATL) hoping these other treatments can keep it knocked down for a long time.

The last few days have been a whirlwind as the news sunk in. I cannot tell you all how disappointing this is. Hope is never lost, but lamenting on a possibly lost future is devasting.
I wanted to take a minute to thank Inforoo again. It is because of you guys that he has been able to explore some alternatives. And because of you that he already has a head start on the one thing the Dr could tell him with confidence. His one nugget of advice.
"Enjoy your life".
He told Mike that so many times during the appointment. I can't think of better words to pass along to you all. Make sure you are enjoying your lives. Not just living to work, or grinding out the same unfulfilling path every day, or sitting through your days unsatisfied and empty. Fvck that. Life comes up from behind and surprises the shiz out of you with events like this.
The worst part of this is that we are trying to squeeze our 40 years of life together out of what may be only a year or two. Like I said, hope is never lost. We are fighting to be that miracle story you read about, beating all odds. Hoping to leave the Drs with their jaws on the floor in amazement. But we aren't risking it. We aren't wasting it. Do the same.
That being said. I think I mentioned earlier some of the alternatives we are using. One of them that has shown some real promise off the map of conventional medicine is corn oil. But we are having trouble with being able to gather enough of the right kind of corn to make it and can't get it in the states we live in. This isn't your run of the mill Crisco. But if anyone knows anything about this, or can help us, please please get ahold of one of us. We gave considered having him move to another state if we can find a place for him. Anyone from Michigan maybe and know about the Michigan Project? I know this is borderline against the rules around here, and I do apologize, but right now cancer is trying to permanently ban Whoreshack from Inforoo, so I'll risk it.

Any chance of laser ablation? I have a friend who had some brain mets taken care of with that.
Unfortunately Mike is no longer a surgical candidate at all. The best way for me to describe the tumor is that it has over taken a section of his esophagus, like a band. The surgery they use is a full resectioning of the esophagus. They cut out the esophagus and fashion a new one out of the stomach. It is a hard surgery to come back from because the stomach doesn't do a good job of being an esophagus. People have a lot of trouble. Can't eat regular food for months and months. And at this point, they feel it wouldn't change the outcome and would only cause Mike undue pain and suffering, with absolutely no benefit. The cancer has advanced too much in their eyes. They figure if it is in these distant lymph nodes in an amount that they can see, then it is in other nodes or organs in levels they can't see yet.
If he starts to have swallowing trouble, they may do a palliative repair of the tumor, opening things up for him. That is why they kept his PEG tube in. We wanted that out so that he could hot tub and swim with no trouble (he swam this summer anyways :-) But the Dr told him he was going to need it eventually for nutrition. He has lost about 30lbs but is maintaining his weight at this point. Good news.

We are having a get together on Sept 7th in Lexington for Mike, to surround him with friends and love and good vibes. We are trying to book some bands, Holly ordered a bouncy house for the kids. There will be food and merrimaking. I invited a lot of you on FB to the event. But it won't let me just pick my "Inforoo" friends group. I had to individually go through my 560 friends. I missed a bunch of people. Or am not friends with some of you on FB. But you are all invited. PM me if you want the details. It'll be fun. You can set up a tent in the yard and there is some space in the house.

You have absolutely no idea how much I wish I could be there. Know that I will be there in spirit. Have loads of fun for me. Love y'all!!
so my design will be finished after that experience. I say that in case we want to keep this open.
And will get the thread updated before the weekend. Sorry I've had to be away from it for a bit.
