It’s such a fantastic way of looking at it and very helpful indeed. I’ve got an ultrasound scan tomorrow to see what’s going on in there so I can decide what to do. I’m beginning to like the idea of no periods or babies so, unless the doctor comes up with a more effective alternative for getting rid of the fibroids, I think I’ll opt for a hysterectomy. I seem to have a habit of acquiring all the crap genes in the family – even digging up some no one knew we had in the gene pool – and this seems to be another one. Lucky me.

All I can say is, you never know how you’re really going to feel about these things till they come atcha. I always think of the management of my uterus as being like a career – periods, babies, periods, unwanted babies, wanted babies, periods, labour, birth, postpartum stuff. It’s all bonkers, is what I say. It surprises you in a million ways that thought you’d predicted but got wrong.
There. Was that helpful, at all, orrr?!!!
Either way, I love your writing.
