(not very) interesting observation.

kixie's mum, brian1789's wife and the_siobhan all had hysterectomies this week. What's the chance of three people you're vaguely connected to having the same operation around the same time?

(Okay, okay - I know it wasn't the same operation - and they were all done for different reasons, I think. But it's still coincidental.)

Best wishes for an uneventful recovery, all.
