I was watching someone on TV asking "men on the street" about women's anatomy. When asked about a woman's uterus and how many a woman would have, the answers ranged from two to four ... and, honestly, sometimes one is more than enough.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I have to clean the kitchen before I can leave for the weekend - going to hear Eileen Ivers in Mount Vernon, with required stops at the Co-op and a drive out to Pelican Bay Books - and this seems excessive.
Have fun! Say hi to the Co-op for me!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
FWIW, I rejoiced when I had my uterus out. Bypassing the "feminine hygiene products" aisle at the grocery store each week still gives me a thrill.
Yes, I had visions of throwing out all the panties with stains that are set aside for "that time of the month" and never buying another pad in my life!
honestly, sometimes one is more than enough.
Every woman I know who has had a hysterectomy absotively recommends it. I guess it'll be a jump start from peri- to for real's menopause, but I sorta doubt I'll miss it.
Everybody I missed, hugs and vibes!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yep, one uterus is more than enough.(No particular problems here, just annoying.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Family note: My mom had two (not discovered until one of them filled up with gigantic fibroids and she needed a hysterectomy, upon completing which they discovered the second one hiding behind the first). Not a fan, does not recommend.

I had my uterus out for fibroids, so I got to keep the ovaries and their lovely hormones. At least for a few years. At which point they had to come out for other reasons. I didn't miss the uterus; I did miss those little hormone factories.

I spent all day at the mechanic and now ltc has a fever of 101 and the chills. She was supposed to go back to karate tomorrow.

Feel better, ltc! Stay well yourself, sj! What a bummer for both of you.

I was supposed to have mine out for fibroids but because of blood clots I couldn’t. I had an embolization instead. (So because of an embolism I had to have an embolization). It’s helped a lot but would have been better to ditch the heavy periods altogether.

Thanks, JZ. Her fever is at 100 this morning. She slept all night and seems less miserable today. We're watching movies and cartoons all day.
