[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Wow, that does look scarily like popcorn shrimp in BBQ sauce. Glad they are out!

Yikes, ita, that's way too much reality!

Thrive to spite them

ita that is too much reality.

Vortex, you must feel so much better with all of that out of you.

Normally the procedure would have been done under general, but I had no health insurance and the hospital staff was working gratis as a favour to family, so anesthesia was minimal for economic reasons. Whoa.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yikes, ita!

Good lord, Vortex! And that's not the first time you've had it done, so ...double eek!
