I vote for sainthood. You think she'll be having any more babies? A c-section with a kitchen knife, sewn shut with cotton could not be good for one's uterus AT ALL. Maybe she had a subsequent hysterectomy. I need a nail-biting smilie.
It could be, but there are cases where people have cut off a limb with a pocket knife in order to save their own lives, and that involved a lot more cutting!
