Having your hoo haa examined; I have found, is a lot like having your head examined…
- You gotta lay yourself bare…exposed… putting yourself in one ridiculously vulnerable position… (open wide)
- You gotta put up with a bunch of poking and prodding… (here, lemme rummage around in there… lets see what you’re made of)
- There is the imagined (or perhaps not-so imagined) ridicule…judgement… (couldn’t she do a better job preparing? taking care of herself??? what was she thinking???)
- The shame at answering the questions…. (oh the Catholic shame that is bred into us… even after you’ve rejected religion) – SEX? what sex? I swear I am a VIRGIN…
See what I mean?
I’ll be musing over this analogy for the next few…
haha…
It hit me this morning…. that gynos have really shitty jobs… i mean it isn’t like we can “brush” our hoo haas or just “pop” a few breath mints… ya know?
Ah, man….
what? its funny ain’t it?
It is. I also just made THAT appointment yesterday….
hahahahaha!!! I had mine yesterday…
Migraine and a poke ya exam… yeah… can you see why I was like FUCK the work thing?
Absolutely.
You outta try waxing one. I told my doc I spend more time down there doing a brazillian then she does doing a pap.
bahahahahaha!!!
First time I had a pap smear was at a CATHOLIC CHARITIES clinic. Go figure. And there was a young male student standing by. They were like, “do you mind if he sits in”. I was like, “I thought yall were Catholic nuns and shit. Yes, I would mind. Look at him, he’s younger than me!” To top things off I had this pimple/rash thingy that day. Sucked.
I think it was because I was alergic to this soap I had been using. Too much info? lol
hahahahahaha!!!!
Well its better than “a round of antibiotics and it went away”
hahahahaha – (i swear I am not laughing at you…) You see I was at Planned Parenthood a handful of years back… they were just bringing this new clinical documentation system on-line…. they wanted me to OK the consultant to be in the room while they went over the questionnaire…
I have a hard time answering those questions on a good day… and you all want me to answer them with some computer consultant type person in the room??? WTF?
I have to seriously go to my special happy place in my head where there’s a fondue fountain and a string quartet….she could be using a trained squirrel and a mellon-baller for all I care, I mentally leave the building.
I must say, the mammogram is harder, the tech is standing there moving you around like she is arranging a window display at a bakery….eh. hard to remain aloof.
~shudder~ haven’t had to experience that yet…. I.cannot.wait.
mmmm chocolate fondue fountains….
