I have spent the last few days reading all of the archives and they crack me up! I like to refer to my gallbladder marks as my bullet wounds. I think it makes me sounds tougher..... I love your site!

I like to refer to my gallbladder marks as my bullet wounds. I think it makes me sounds tougher…..

It was fairly new at that point, so it was lumpy and purple/red. I felt like it was this freakish smudge and that everyone else would think so. Nowadays, the scar is level to my skin and a nice pearly white and I LOVE it. I always think about how beautiful it is and I like to stroke it (in an unsexual, while-I'm-watching-TV kind of way. hahaha) Now when I wear bathing suits, I love to point it out to everyone. I like to play around with it, too. I'll take a sharpie and draw a zipper on it or something like that. Anyway, I just think it's funny how your perception of beauty changes with time. In a more relevant story (haha, sorry), my boyfriend used to cut himself a loooong time ago and now he's got these pretty, thin white scars on his upper and lower arms. He told me that he thinks that they're beautiful and how most people would be reminded of dark times or be ashamed by them, but he looks at them purely as beautiful creamy lattices on his arm: like artwork. Anyway, I guess that's relevant! Like you said, if all preconceived notions of beauty were gone, it's amazing what we might think is beautiful!

I find myself laughing at a lot of your well-placed sarcasm, and then laughing again at the hidden wit behind it. I hate to compare you or your talents to anyone or anything, so I'll just say...I think should you someday decide to "bottle" up all of these stories, and espectially your archive of journal entries, and sell them in the format of say a best-selling book, that I and many people I know (like you said somewhere...most of the American population are fat) would run down to our nearest bookstore for a fabulous purchase!

Yes; basically, they reached in, pulled out a handful of stuff, snipped it off, and let it snap back inside, like a big ol' rubber band. Just like the cartoons! (Well, Ralph Bakshi cartoons, maybe). It hurt like a mofo, and I've had pain ever since. I developed adhesions - something to remember them by! Needless to say, I'm not quite as enthusiastic about that way of doing surgery as some others might be. I had a handful of ladyparts sucked out that way.

Actually, going through the hoo-ha can be much safer for many people. You healed nicely and quickly, but many people don't for various reasons, i.e., diabetes, keloids, etc. Thanks for the laugh!

My hoo-ha is a very touchy subject (pun intended). Honestly I would rather let it be sucked out of there than be sliced... I guess that way I could say it "fell out" , assuming the operating table is tilted at a slight angle. I think that if my gallbladder ever decided to leave me it would fall out my "yow". Of course if my gallbladder did "decide" to leave it wouln't surprise me if it burst out of my abdomin like some enraged phyco alien, that is if it ever got wind other gallbladers have made a run for it and been sucsessfull. okay, I’ve been reading this blog for a while and have never felt the urge to comment until now.
