“I think I'm more worried about this not being the end of my pain and discomfort. That is something that I have to acknowledge, and that is there. But you know what? Most people, most professionals, me personally, the person in charge of this body, we all think this is a good idea, and we're going to go with that.” — Emily, UTERUS EVICTION DAY!!!

“They're going to think I'm faking it. I have this feeling that I'm going to wake up and my uterus is going to be perfectly fine. It'll be like, This is a huge mistake. Huge mistake. What are you doing? I'm perfectly fine. It was maybe just a really bad gas bubble for five, six, seven years.” — Emily, 1(!) Day Until Uterus Eviction Day

“My big goal with this podcast, with my hysterectomy, with dealing with adenomyosis was getting to the point where I could enjoy my body and it wasn't just painful to live day to day in it.” — Emily, 7 Months After Uterus Eviction Day

“I am the Emily. I speak for the uteruses. I have to cut out my uterus, but it's only to get rid of the adenomyosis that is attacking it. Sometimes these things hit all at once. I realize I'm really happy to be recording a podcast and talking to others who understand this, who probably have these same frustrations and perhaps for the first time is hearing somebody say them out loud.” — Emily, 1(!) Day Until Uterus Eviction Day

“I was in bed, just writing my list, and I was just listing all the things that I loved about that moment. And it was all simple things that didn't cost anything. And it made my morning really nice, and it really did set me up for a good day.” — Emily, 2 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day

“If I can finish everything up, tie up all the loose ends, and in a few days, I can check off the final thing on my to-do list and go into that operation content with how I spent my time feeling good and refreshed because I didn't burn myself out and fulfilled in a way where no matter what happens in the operation, I will feel like I did the best I could.” — Emily, 3 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day

“I wish I could just put a big sign on me that says, ‘I'm three days away from a hysterectomy. I don't give a shi-t. I really f-king don't.’ Or ‘I'm three days away from surgery. My default answer is no parentheses, how f-king dare you?’” — Emily, 3 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day

“It's not like I wasn't expecting the bill. … We were expecting some extra debt. The number didn't throw us off completely, but it is quite a big number.” — Emily, 4 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day

“Having my 6-year-old bouncing off the walls on a day I need to do a lot more work might not be the best idea. But you know what? It just adds to ‘Finals Week.’ Like your friend in college who says, ‘Hey, I know you're studying for finals, but also it's $2 drink night down at Senior Ponchos. Let's f–ing go! Margaritas, wooo!’” — Emily, 4 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day

“When I'm singing, that is when I feel the most free. Not even when I'm on stage, just when I'm singing. I could be singing in the car and I could be belting at the top of my lungs something that I know. Or if I'm in choir and I'm singing something that we've practiced over and over again and I know the parts where we get loud and the parts where the choir director is going to quiet us down. I get to hit all my notes and I nail it. I love it. It's one of those things that takes me out of my body so that the adenomyosis doesn't still affect me.” — Emily, 5 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day
