No, I won't be reaping any profits from the display of Desi's twisted little uterus. I didn't get to keep it; I just got to see it. I think they sent it off to a pathology lab.
Did you take a picture of it? The Uterus in the Jar? You KNOW I would've loved to see that...oh, and a pic of Nic curled around a kitteh on the floor would've been cute, too.
I wasn't alert enough to get a picture of Nic sleeping beside the kitty; I woke up around 4:00 a.m. and spotted it, then got the whole story the next morning. I didn't get a picture of the uterus in the jar, either; there's no point, really, as it's hard to see around all the various labels.
However, the nurse who was in the OR managed to get a dozen or so pictures on his iPhone. They show the whole process: her open on the operating table, the slow emergence of this thing, then the thing itself, then the thing itself sitting in a pool of pus. They're going to burn me a CD with the pictures on it. Want me to email them to you when I get them? They're pretty gross.
If you want to really be icked out, I can share some stories of autopsies of the decaying. Or show you a colour photo of a floater.
This small audience won't judger her any differently, I assure you ;-) and we're all just morbidly fasciniated...and Desi probably wouldn't mind since she lives to fascinate us. At least she's not in a forensic textbook...yet.

And I'm glad she's doing quite well.

I'm not all that squeamish, myself--truly--but the one of the uterus sitting in a pool of pus squicked me out just a little. I mean, it was nasty.
