HA HA HA HA I was thinking same thing. I read that and thought "Yes, I would like to take it home out to the back yard and beat it to death with a shovel" The MISERY that sorry thing gave me for YEARS! lol

Okay, I'll reluctantly stick my hand up and admit that I would have loved to have taken my uterus home in a jar. Part of that is because I'm a biology geek in the midst of pre-med studies, and internal organs are just fascinating; my personal history with my uterus would make it even more fascinating, I'd think. The other reason is that it would have been nice to have gotten at least one good look at my vanquished foe.

Yes, I know I'm weird.

When I was four, I had my toncills removed. The surgeon put them in a little jar of liquid and left them on a shelf in my room so I could see them. We didn't take them home. I hadn't thought about that in years and years.

I don't want to take home my uterus, but I would love it if my doctor would snap a few photos of it for my scrapbook. No, I'm not joking! I wonder if he would do that. Or better yet, have a nurse take a picture of him holding it. Hmmm ... one more question to add to my pre-op list. LOL

Careful purplesnow, a couple months ago someone started a thread wanting pictures and ended up dyeing her pubic hair pink to pull a joke on her surgeon. (I am serious about that.)

OMG! So funny! I wish I would have thought of it. Be sure to hold your tummy when laughing...that hurts

A relative of mine asked me if I was going to bring mine home. I imagined putting it on the coffee table for a conversation piece. Could only envision people hurling at a dinner party! :-)

oh my.. that is to funny... i would not want to bring it home either.. my family would be grossed out.. i dont go to pre-op til aug 12.. i am so unsure what to expect.. but really want to be done with all this..good luck to all of you hope we all make out good.. and have fast stress-free recoveries..

This post had me rofl. Thank you. I do have a video of my gall bladder surgery, maybe they can do the same for this one. I am now going to ask at my pre-op appointment. I at least want pictures of the thing that has been beating me inside out. I want to see the enemy lol.
