So I had surgery on Thursday and I just removed the bandage covering my belly button. I see virtually no trace of any incision or anything, but I know in my own mind that they went in through my bellybutton and am therefore really skeeved out.
And the surgery went well. I'm just as unhealthy as anticipated, so I don't feel any tremendous surprise or disappointment. Just means that now we have one less thing to deal with before we can possibly have a kid. And hopefully I won't have to have another surgery that boasts "crushing pressure with stabby pain" every time my very funny husband cracks me up during the healing process.
For many reasons I'm sure, conception and fertility are not really "hot" topics among my friends. It's something that's really only talked about with my friends who already have kids or who I know for certain are actively trying. I mean, fertility is something that we all take for granted on some level. I (we) spend many years trying to prevent conception. And I think a lot of women on some level have anxiety that they have screwed up their chances to conceive because of the
A. number of partners prior to currrent partner
B. large amounts of booze/drugs consumed
C. years of birth control taken
D. all of the above
Let me just say, what happens happens. May as well put it out there; doesn't hurt anyway. What I'd like more than anything right at this moment is to see that hilarious Kids In The Hall skit where the 2 rednecks compete over who has the best gut by measuring naval depth. Ah, naval depth.
