That last line! You bring us along with your poetic voice, as we watch with you - and then BAM you find yourself and take us along for the ride. Can't wait for your next piece.

“You weren't defective at all, you knew that. You were just furious.” I nearly fell over when I read this… Jane, this piece is beyond incredible. Thank you so much for sharing it. I read it after my toddler had to give some blood for a routine exam, nothing serious, but as you can imagine, it was a terrible way to end a Tuesday. He’s finally asleep, and I’m so tired, but also so encouraged to keep writing because of the way words like yours make me feel. Alive. Less alone. Brave. Let me tell you … thru every word here, you shined.

Wow, Jane, your writing, your story, your discoveries about yourself, very powerful. Relatable too. I think of all the shit I've smiled through. Looking forward to your memoir.

I had an ectopic pregnancy as well. Emergency surgery was done to remove it. I didn't realize they used to shots.
