ewwww! well, you pass muster. welcome to NT.
hope to hear more about you.

Brain mould
 

What a classic! That's sooo funny!
How did your family react when you said this is a replica of your brain - complete with lesions? lol

I love your sense of humour.:D

My sister will love this. :-)

Great to be able to laugh about such things. You just have to.

(and where did you get the brain mould from????)

You need to send that to your neuro for a gift! Maybe he will give you a discount on your next MRI

Susan, that is disgusting looking. You did a great job.:D People eat cakes shaped in all parts of the anatomy. Think bachelor and bachelortte parties. :eek:

Positively genius! I love it that you linked it directly to your MRI. If your family was having a problem “getting it” about MS, this is the perfect way to get right down to it!

Oh thank you, thank you!! (euphonia replies with a modest blush, as she bows graciously to her gathered admirers, loses her balance, and falls flat on her *****) :)

I've been trying to come up with an avatar for years, mainly hoping I could figure out how to post one of my MRIs. And finally...a little light came on (possibly brought on by the recent migraine) and I remembered the brain pic.

Let's see if I can answer some of your questions...


Marion...I actually brought the MRIs with me. It was sick, I know, but sick I am. :)

Sally & azoyizes, I even got my dad to eat some...he's a good sport. And he feels real guilty that so many of my medical conditions came from his side of the family (MS & HNPP among them). The final, glistening touch was pouring a little blueberry juice over the top.

Freesia, the mold came from an Archie McPhee catalog (I think). I totally misread the enclosed recipe of course, improvised, and still amazed myself with the result. The initial gasps of horror changed quickly to laughter, and yes, you've just got to keep your sense of humor with MS - and hope to spread it around.

doydie, I got such a giggle out of it that I printed up a pic and took it to my next neuro appointment. She insisted that I e-mail it to her so she could use it in the neurology classes she teaches. I thought I deserved a free MRI for it too, but no luck.

2K2C, Wiz, Sally, if you didn't recognize what it was at all, maybe you're as bad a cook as I am...I like that.

Braingonebad, NurseNancy, Lady, thank you for your words of appreciation for my aesthetic accomplishment - bad taste that tastes good.

And another gracious thank you for all of your friendly posts, welcomes, and smiles. No matter how short life is, it's too long to spend it pi**ed off all the time, and laughing feels SO much better. :)

That's really quite disturbing, yet, quite funny. I haven't figured out if I want to say eeewww or laugh

:vomit::ROTFLMAO:

Very creative, euphonia :D

This is great!!!
Then again, I have a hard time judging what's appropriate after working in health care for so long...
I think that your jello mold is genius (and probably delicious) and I have to give mad props to your family for taking it all in stride. It seems like you have some very understanding people with a sense of humor around you.
Half of my family wouldn't get it (husband's side) and the other half would be appalled (my side).
It's great when people can laugh WITH you.

Love it! You know they say..."There is always room for Jell-o!"

Totally awesome!

Ewwwwww!!!!! Yucky -- but what a hoot!!!!! :)
