You know what, women face a lot of health issues. When women have to deal with them, such as being female being a pre-existing condition for one thing, we have to laugh, it's that or we cry. Or get angry.
All of the above in many cases, but the laughter comes at one point and it certainly feels a lot better than the pounding headache a good cry can give and the angry just makes things worse sometimes.
But the laughter? It shows resilience. When I came across this wonderful woman's quest to save her "Ute" I thought, well, I can't donate and I certainly can't operate but I can write something about her mission.

Only challenge is “My Insurance Won’t Pay For The Fibroid Surgery,”and I am not in the position to pay for it myself.
So, I’m taking my Ute public. While I may have lost faith in our health system, I still believe in my fellow Americans. After all, you either have a uterus or you came from one. So, please salute the ute and "Contrib-UTE" by clicking on the PayPal button below.

And she blogs, Debbie uses humor, I admire that, humor in the face of some pretty rotten news. Thanks Debbie for the smile you gave me, that's priceless
A letter to my uterus
Dear Ute, Lately I’ve been thinking that I’d like you better if you stored bees that I could shoot out randomly at people… machine-gun style. Or, if you were a locker that I could keep items in that I use on a regular basis such as my checkbook, car keys and bubble gum. As it [...]
