TMI Venting. Cuz I Can.

 So next week I have the dreaded “appointment”. You know the one. It involves a cold table, something resembling a putty knife, a dr saying things like “I’m almost done” or “Try to relax” and all of your humility completely gone by the time you leave the building. Don’t even get me started on the stirrups.

I don’t do these appointments well. Never have. A bad experience when I was fifteen years old and I’ve never been the same. I usually end up sobbing with the doctor looking over the sheet asking me if I’m ok.

Yeah, I’m ok. This is fun. Just how I wanted to spend 20 minutes out of my day. While I’m laying spread eagle on this lovely metal table with the thin sheet of paper protecting my ass from the germs of thousands of other asses that have been in this same position – lets talk about my feelings.

Hurry the fuck up already.

Oh yeah. I dropped an F bomb.

In the giant list of things I don’t do well – anything gyno related and dentist related are top two. My hubby and I were talking about this last night. He was talking about how he can totally relate. That his dreaded “procedure” involves his dr feeling his hoohas.

Yes, I used the word hoohahs. Because I did a post about ’sheep ba*ls’ once a while back and it gets a Google hit every other day. And kind of creeps me out.

Anyway, how on earth does that compare. You stand there, the dr does a quick touchy feely and you are done. There are no swabs, no foreign objects, no glances over your knees and no contraptions from the middle friggin ages.

And I’m betting the dr does not ask him about his feelings.

Oh, and I’d like to see him put one of his hoohahs into a vice like machine where its squeezed beyond anything natural and photographed. Yeah, its my fortieth year and my time has come.

There are times when being a girl just – sucks.

I appear to be a bit angry eh.

hehe

And this concludes my far, far TMI post.

  1. Erm.

    I hear ya.

    From Far Far Away.

    Very Far Away.

    Thank god!

    Heh heh.

    Lucky George.

  2. You have it bad over there. It’s much nicer here: no stirrups (What the???) soft lights, soft bed to lie on, lovely GP who’s a woman, new friendly instruments. Still don’t like it though. Lie back and think of – well not England anyway!!!

  3. All I can say is its much better to be a ‘big’ girl for the whole squishing thing than to be and ‘a’…it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Stick it out! You’ll be fine :-)

  4. It seems to me that you should be allowed a Xanax before the visit. Hopefully, you have a doc that knows you, and is aware of your very valid fear. I wish you a very speedy exam.

    And Men? No clue – let’s face it. If they had to bleed from anywhere once a month? I think Ron White said it best – they’d run screaming down the road – Help! Help! I’m bleeeeeeeedddding!

  5. You left out the “I’m going to touch now. . .” Which still ends in you vaulting up off the paper and feeling like a fool.

    If I had a whole bunch of wishes, one would be that every man on the planet would have one period. Just one. But with cramps and PMS. I think one is all it would take.

  6. Oh, but we DO get the touchy, feely as well. “Put your hand behind your head”. More fun.

    Maybe we, in the States, SHOULD think of England. Soft lights and a soft bed? I am SO there!!!

    Good luck, next week. Remember, if he’s seen one…

  7. Nothing wrong with using The F Word!! it totaly explains so many things..lol. Including the yearly visit.I love that me had a HYST!!

    Men do have PMS as soon as they turn 50 just wait and see..get your frying pan ready.I’ve been real close to knockin R’s lights out for 3 yrs..lol.

  8. Weird, I have the same type of appointment this coming week…

    Though, I’ve heard of a test that guys go through that involves a large Q-tip, a certain orifice, and coughing…I don’t think I’d like to deal with that either.
