A humorous and honest look at the maladies we ladies get to experience with our 'vajayjay' and other lady parts. (My family had a debate about the word vajayjay. I swore Dr. Bailey on Grey's Anatomy coined the phrase, and I was right! Oprah did popularize it.)Laurie WJN wonderfully breaks down the parts and functions of a woman's nether region, demystifying what really goes on down there. Having had a similar experience to Laurie's, I was surprised that there were still things for me to learn about my own body.For the most part, we drag our anatomy from here to there and never really worry about what is going to happen. Then one day we wake up and realize that perhaps we've been a little too casual in our expectation that all will be well. What follows in Laurie WJN's experience is the fear and vulnerability we all feel when we are at the mercy of doctors, pills, and possibilities.What I enjoyed the most was the candor in her writing. When these moments come upon us, I hope we handle them with the same spirit. The recounting of her husband's tenderness is quite touching, which made me ponder what other partners are like. (A must read for any partner who is concerned, uncomfortable talking about vagina's, uteri, and other female plumbing.)
