Ooo fibroids hurt. Hopefully she’s much better from here on.

 

[RAFIKI]

I hope she wins the lottery or something one day because the universe owes her.

Wishing Becky all the best for a smooth recovery.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I hope her myomectomy resolves the issue. Fibroids are so painful and the surgery is a bitch, too.

I read Becky Owen sued Christine and Colin, did Becky win?

No, she didn’t win and to be quite honest, as a legal case it was ridiculous. It was based upon hurt feelings at not being able to have a natural birth.

Had we talked about that on here before? It seems to have all gone down in 2010 and I feel like that's the sort of thing I'd remember.

There was a bit of chat when it was first in the papers that she was going to sue them (civil case) and it came to nothing.

It was definitely a massive reach her particular issue. She’d had 2 healthy children via planned c sections, but felt she missed out by not being able to give birth naturally. I don’t know what the particular health issue was, or how it could be attributed to her training.

I take the view that if that she was going to take the time and effort to bring a legal case against her coaches, and that was all she had, then it’s proper clutching at straws stuff. Even in the light of what’s come out more recently, she hasn’t subsequently spoken out as far as I’m aware.

Was she the one who broke her pelvic bone crotching the beam?

Yes I think you’re right

 

[Doug1233]

It's hard to blame crotching the beam on a coach. It's a bit of an inherent hazard of beam, one would think?!
