LOL ! ! !

Sooooooo... It's been about 6 weeks. Having recently relocated to PHX I was yet again forced to setup with a new Dr. So I asked some girlfriends and they recommended a really good OB/GYN (especially right after having that hysterectomy hahaaaa) That's what they assume I had since I was out for surgery and all, and well I don't think correcting them is appropriate at this point.

I had my appt. Wednesday afternoon and was quickly reprimanded for being my age. and NOT having had a pap yet, on two separate occasions, once by the nurse and then by the Dr., YEAAAAHHHH!!!!

Well each time I had to say no I haven't had one yet and met with disapproval both times. And each time I had to explain that...

Basic jist of each of the conversations.

THEM: 'so what's the reason for today's visit? Well-Woman check-up? Do you need a pap?

ME: 'ummmm... well.... until 6 weeks ago that would have been pretty impossible'

THEM: 'oh don't be afraid or worry about it, Dr. X is very good at it and he'll be sure you won't feel a thing'

ME: 'ok... hmmmmmmm, I think maybe I need to explain a bit more....'

THEM: 'huh?"

ME: 'well, huh, ummmm, see..... ahhhhhh.... things weren't always the way they are today'

THEM: 'I'm not sure I understand... ????? OHhhhhhhh!!!! HUH!!!! You mean???!!!!?!?!?!??!!!!??!?'

ME: 'yep, now I'm thinking you understand'

THEM: 'Ohhhhh, wow.... You look great. How long ago? Did it hurt? Does it still hurt?'

ME: 'TY, yes it did, yes I do at times still..."

THEM: 'ok here's your gown...'

Dr. asks to pardon if he has any stupid questions, he has never had a patient like me in almost 30 years in his practice. I said I would if he does the same, I've never had a Gyn appt. before LOL. We go over the procedure (well they cut here and tuck there, and stitch here and so on), dilation, intimacy, and a lot of other stuff (little knowledge transfer on both our parts). Exam goes great, everything looks to be healing up fine inside and out (those darn duck bill looking thingies (speculum) are pretty uncomfortable BTW...) and other than obviously being only a few weeks outside of surgery things are looking very good.

So... Great job Marci ! ! ! ! ! :)

Ciao!!!
