but is that one fibroid or many?
Many. And the sad thing is that there are still a few in there that they couldn't get to.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Nice work, Surgeon of Vortex! The doc who did my hysterectomy traumatized my husband while I was in recovery by showing him a picture of all my removed organs on a table, so he could explain how advanced my Endo was. This was not helpful to my guy, who was already overwrought because the surgery took way longer than they said it would and who is not great at this kind of medical stuff. All my DH can say about this experience is "Chicken parts, horrible chicken parts."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I had a lumpectomy on my breast the surgeon showed me the cyst during the procedure. Saying "yes" to that offer is one of the few times I regret agreeing with someone.

Damn, Vortex. My father once had a patient tell him about her uterine "fireballs" and now I can only think of them by that name.

Daaaamn. I am very glad those are no longer in you, Vortex.

They did that for me during the biopsy of my left breast a few years ago. I was fascinated. But then, after an accident in metal shop, I watched the doctor sew my fingers back up. What can I say, medical stuff doesn't squick me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Great googly moogly, Vortex! All that was inside you?
Yowza.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, has anyone ever wondered what a fibroid looks like? Well, they took a picture of what they removed yesterday. As a point of reference, the surgeon is holding the basin in both hands. [link]
Daaaaaaaaamn, Vortex. You are an overachiever, I tell you what.

The whole experience involved lying in a pool of my own blood and smelling my flesh burn and watching smoke of me dissipate into the air. It was just nasty all the way around.

How many fibroids is that? Too many fibroids.
I like doctors who will let me see what's going on.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My insatiable curiousity: Vortex, how much did all that weigh? Are they dense or, I dunno, spongy? You must feel immensely better now!
IMeN, can antihistamines just stop working? I've been taking Benadryl for two days, ever since the gardening yesterday morning, and right now, two hours after taking the last one, I'm sneezing and teary and can't breathe and there's a maddening tickle in the back of my right nasal sinus. This Must Stop. Should I go on and take a different antihistamine?
