metric conversions

metric conversions for us americans!

the medial breast mass (top right area of breast) is 4 x 3 x 1.5 cm and weighs 12.5 gm. that’s about the size of a truffle from maison du chocolat — 1.5 x 1.2 x .5 inches and weighing in at half of an ounce.

the lateral breast mass (lower left area of breast) is 7 x 5 x 2.5 cm and weighs 47.6 gm. that’s about the size of a small bar of soap from l’occitane en provence (though not as heavy) — approximately 3 x 2 x 1 inches — and weighs 0.10 pounds (or a bit less than 2 ounces).

so send soap and dark chocolate truffles to moya!

package from mom

package from mom

a package arrived from mom yesterday with several lovely items enclosed. i now
have two separate pieces of amber to ensure a healing experience. from the
amber show in new york, mom got me a pendant that is clear amber on one
side, and white amber – it’s opaque, and i don’t really know why it’s white
but it’s pretty neat – on the other. jan included an amber rock that is
made of that same white substance. whoops; i should say “a piece of amber
vegetable”, now that i know amber is not a rock but a vegetable (well, sap
from a tree). i’ll be able to wear the pendant after the surgery; the
‘rock’ i can take with me in my pocket! just to keep me guessing, there was
also a real rock – actually made of soap – also included. pretty neat
healing package… i hadn’t realized that amber had healing properties.
