25th June 2014, post-surgery, Day 47 of recovery
Nuts are a key part of my diet these days but that's not what this picture is about.
Hardly anyone ever sees the bits that I no longer have. Ovaries are roughly the size of almonds, and a uterus is about the size of a plum. My 6 inch scar is still very tender plus there is a general tenderness all over. But there are also two very distinct points near each end of the scar, roughly an inch or two above it; I'm pretty sure that's where my ovaries were. After the feelings of loss a few weeks back, I actually started to experience a wonderful feeling of relief and freedom that I do not have those bits anymore, making my life miserable.
I don't miss my uterus at all - it was just this thing inside that caused immense amounts of pain and blood loss, whilst serving no useful purpose whatsoever. Hearing my surgeon say that it almost certainly had adenomyosis as well - endometriosis within the muscle itself - and that he removed "lots of adhesions" (scar tissue on internal organs) as well only confirmed what my instincts were telling me. I feel rather more sensitive about my ovaries though - they did produce hormones which were, to some extent keeping me healthy. On the other hand, they produced not quite enough oestrogen to make me feel well, whilst at the same time producing a high enough level to cause the endometriosis to run rampant. Plus there was the progesterone they produced, which the surgeon described as being "positively toxic" for some people - I can vouch for that - and I'm very happy indeed to be without it.
Here are some northern Pecans and Hickories (or Hicans?) that I collected from mature trees in a friend's yard (the same yard also has 2 mature Chinese Chestnuts) here in SW Michigan (zone 5b). You can see that the husks are green and not split open—wondering if these husks will split as they dry or if the tree simply shed them before they were mature (too short a season?), and therefore the nutmeats will never develop full flavor/size?
You can see that the inner shells and nutmeats are pale and lacking the darker mottling that you normally see on Pecans. The flavor is ok, but not fully developed, and the nutmeats are a little soft/hollow (kind of like eating a black walnut that just fell off the tree and has that "green" / wet flavor before curing). Also wondering about the viability of these as seed.
