Lumpy D. Cyst

[theworm]

My adopted e-child is having surgury tomorrow to remove a cyst. She'll be fine, but this is the second major surgury she has had this year to remove large and unruly cysts, and it's not fair to her or to her mom. I consider them both friends, and wanted to send something, but wasn't sure what.

 

Well, everyone is trying to keep their sense of humor, so tonight I crocheted Lympy D. Cyst for her. The last cyst she should ever have!

 

I think I was inspired by Cuddlefish's adorable Cuddle Fish. Lumpy is similar, but I put cluster lumps randomly across her back - they don't show up well in the photo, but she is rather...lumpy. She's got a scrawny tail, just because it seemed cuter.

 

It might be a bit "sick", or even a bit in poor taste, but I think it will make her laugh.

I think it's a cute idea too. It might just lighten up a moment when she's feeling scared or sad.

I like it alot!! It reminds me of the tribble, (sp?) creatures on the Classic Star Trek. I always wanted one of those things,,,

Wonderful idea!

[MomToLabs]

Great idea, and great name! (Good pun on the D. Cyst ==> desist!)

 

You gotta laugh about those curve balls that come over the plate every now and then, and this should help.

When I saw the title I thought 'Oh it must be another of LadyLinoleums' designs...'

 

That is too cute! I don't think it is sick. (But then maybe I am sick, so how would I know?) Just joking. I think if it makes the child laugh, then it is great! It's cute. I think it will mean a lot to them both.

I agree with Beth....

If it makes a child of any age smile and laugh at what is happening, then it's the best thing in the world.

 

My dad had a stroke when I was 13. He was only 40. He used a lot of laughter to get back on his feet. When he was learning to talk again, and have to say "puppy", but he couldn't get it out...he would say "dog" instead. Laughter helps heal the wounds.

Wonderful! It's better to laugh about your troubles than cry. I'm using a LOT of humor trying to deal with Tim's TBI. Threatening to paint his toenails pink if he doesn't wake up, etc. It helps us deal.

I think Lumpy is just adorable! It's a wonderful idea you had for cheering up your friend about surgery. You must be a very caring person.

Thanks!

She e-mailed me that it arrived today. She loved it - said that she laughed so hard that she cried. Glad there was no mail for a few days - this is the first day she could laugh without pain!

[Brandybuck]

I'm so glad she loved it!
