So I found out recently that I need to have my disease-ridden, malfunctioning uterus ripped out of my body. In one sense, I’m actually quite pleased to part ways with the unpleasant organ since I have absolutely no interest in procreation whatsoever (and we’ll say nothing about my advanced age). To be finished with it will be a relief.<\/p>\n
However, in another way, I do NOT want to part with the organ at all! In fact, I would love to pickle it in a jar and display it with my other curios. And I’m distressed because I just know they won’t let me! They’ll say something about needing to do pathology tests on it to rule out cancer blah blah blah – as if they couldn’t take a look at it then give it back to me! And they will probably think I’m certifiable for even asking… which is true, but that’s beside the point. Shouldn’t I be able to keep my own organ if I want to? It just seems so unfair!<\/p>\n
But I am grateful, at least, that I’m not having this particular surgery done (though it would be fun to make small children cry… oh, what am I saying? I do that already):<\/p>\n
