OB/GYN - it aint for sissies

Today I had that doctor's appointment that dare not speak it's name.

Interesting facts about this appointment:

1.  My doctor practice moved.

2.  My regular doctor did not move with them.

3.  My regular doctor is now free-lancing it in some remote town.

4.  I chose to stay with the practice.

5.  They have a lovely and large shiny new office with beautiful wall coverings and modern art hanging everywhere.

6.  The "new" doctor was kind of shiny and new too.

7.  Refreshingly, she didn't try and find my cervix.

8.  I lost my cervix (and a select few other interesting items) to cancer 4 years ago.

9.  My old doctor would always forget and I would have to remind her.  Sometimes after she'd already started looking.  It always made me uncomfortable to have to remind her.

10. That may have something to do with why I stayed with the practice.

11. On the way out the door, I somehow took a chunk out of my right index finger.

12.  For some reason I did not bother to go back in for a band-aid.

13.  I bled all the way to work.

14.  Into a Starbucks napkin.

The end.

Dare not speak it's name? Why, we talk about the "yearly poke & scrape" all the time! My doctor said she doesn't like to think of it that way, but I said maybe SHE has a gentle doctor.

If I could give you my cervix, I would. I'm not using it for anything (that I know of) anyway.

How do you know your funny? When you can make even a visit to your OB/GYN this funny. Love, Mom

I am curious about the Starbucks napkin. Does that mean you are still getting your daily dose? Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with that. I am currently getting a daily dose ever since I found a Starbucks gift card in my mailbox from some remote neighbor I see from time to time. :o) Love ya. Have a great day.

I'd say her not looking for the cervix puts one big happy foot in the door. I saw mine the other day.... and I think my cervix is older than her whole body.

Good times.
