Cute When Pithy

[filkferengi]

When my grandma was 33, she had a hysterectomy. When I was young, my mom had an ovarian growth the size o a grapefruit. They put her on the pill, & it eventually went away.

My mom had a grapefruit, & I had a grape--an endometrial polyp that was removed Tuesday [hence the "upstaging" comment alluded to previously]. I posted the teaser sentence under the influence of some rather strong drugs [& some rather strong curiosity to see what would happen]. The drugs funked me up pretty well for a couple of days, so we're neither going there nor doing that. If I'm trashing out my liver with acetaminophen, I'll do it with the straight stuff, not with extra added, thanks. [Much as I like it, I can't do ibuprofen; it goofs with the arthritis meds.]

If not up to full speed yet, at least I'm not sleeping the day away; I'm just getting further behind on LJ. ;( It's probably at least 8 days or so now, but I'll eventually get somewhat caught up, 'cause I'm all persistent like that.

Wishing you a quick recovery! And congratulations on keeping more of your ovaries than your predecessors!

Afaik, I kept everything. The polyp was doing something improbable in Uterusville [to the tune of "Margaritaville"].

Ah, so you still have all the parts mentioned on the packaging? This is definitely a good thing...

love

We think so. ;)
