Heart Your Guts

I wasn't really sure where this should go, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Back in August, when I had a laparoscopy to rule out endometriosis, my mother got me a plush uterus to take to the hospital with me. Even though the procedure failed to find endo, I still find my uterus plush useful because my pain is worse at ovulation and I can actually take my stress out on it.

Well, I went and I looked back at the site and there's some additions people on the site may be interested in, including:

The website is iheartguts.com, and I may have to get myself a plushie intestine so I can beat that up too.
 
I love this idea! I think my mom might want to buy me the plush small intestine because we've long been hoping that I could have a whole one that wouldn't hurt me!

The colon is so cute though - I might need that too!
