I was just out in the yard surveying the top of the backyard. I decided to carry down a large rock that probably weighed sixty pounds. My neighbor next door comes running out of her house and proceeds to inform me that I should discontinue carrying heavy objects because I will get a prolapsed uterus. I had no idea what to say because I was in complete shock that someone who does not know me very well at all would have any concern for my uterus. In addition, I had no desire to discuss my uterus with her. Nonetheless, I said, “I was not lifting with my uterus; I was lifting with my legs.” She then proceeds to tell me all about how she had to get her uterus “tacked up” and how I will have to have that done as well when I get older if I continue to pick up heavy objects. First, one does not get a prolapsed uterus simply because they pick up heavy objects every so often! One gets a prolapsed uterus because they have been pregnant, are fat, have fibroid tumors, have gone through menopause, or because they were born with some type of collagen disorder. I never intend to be pregnant, fat, have tumors, nor I was I born with a collagen disorder! Then she proceeded to inform me that men do not have this problem because they do not have a uterus. REALLY!? It appears that I was just schooled in anatomy!
