Robots Rule. Puny Uterii drool.

In the battle between Robots and Azz's uterus, the robot side emerges
victorious. The uterus and it's fellow travelers- Fallopian tubes and the
like are removed.

Due to medical waste laws, the organs will not be bedazzled and mounted as
trophies, nor will they be given a proper pagan funeral. This is sad,
because we all know that if anyone was to bedazzle a defeated enemy and
cover it with blinky led lights, it would be Azz. They have a well known
gift for the sparkly.

Azz is hitting recovery right about now, and they should be pretty out of
it for the rest of the night. I will update on their condition as I get
updates.

Not that this will ever come up again, but if you go to your doctor ahead of surgery and present them with a mason jar full of rubbing alcohol that may satisfy the law regarding the offending body parts. The only reason I didn't get to keep my elbows was that there weren't any pieces larger than a tic-tac.

Interesting!

I was given my wisdom teeth in a bag to take home after their removal, but have never had any more internal surgery except for tonsils, which I wouldn't want to keep, so I never thought about it as an option! (Not that I wouldn't normally be interested in having Tonsils Inna Jar, but I was too young to make that call when mine were removed, and anyway they had been the plague-bearing bane of my young existence, so I would not have wanted those specific tonsils!)

Truth in updating compels me to admit that Azz probably didn't actually want the physical actual parts. A hand knit uterus, perhaps with a sparkly knife through it is more their style. Much easier to clean, move, and store.

But that is very good to know about the rubbing alcohol and I may have to do that next time I need to have something done. :)
