Since the passing of Mother’s Day, they - moms - have been on my mind. Well, not moms in general rather their lives and health. All the things that come with being a mom. To tell you the truth I probably couldn’t do it. For that matter I don’t think most guys could pull it off with much measure of success.

A few minutes ago while talking to Val she mentioned the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia run by Dr. Catherine Hamlin. The documentary, A Walk to Beautiful, was the work of Mary Olive Smith - it’s on NOVA if you’re interested.

This got me to thinking about how fortunate some American are - they ones with insurance. As your run of the mill guy it can be embarrasing to discuss these issues. State side they have access to renowned surgeons with fancy hospitals performing laser vaginal plastic surgery for women seeking help. Whether in maintaining their sex lives or in helping offset the effects of childbirth. Aside from culture, beliefs, value system, and access to doctors, females face similar base situations in being a women.
