THIS ENTRY CONTAINS REFERENCES TO FEMALE MEDICAL EXAMS SOME MEN MAY NOT WANT TO READ ABOUT....BUT IT'S FUNNY SO DON'T BE A BIG, FAT CHICKEN!
Okay, last year around this time I went for my annual "spread-n-scrape", otherwise known as the pelvic exam, and my doc called me after a few weeks to tell me they hadn't "gotten enough cells" and the lab said they needed to do another. Never happened in all my 40+ years, but hey, okay I'll be a good sport and get back in for another pleasure cruise.
This year, about a month or so ago, time to get my annual again. 2 weeks later, phone call (different doc this time), same problem! Grumpily go back, she practically takes out my tonsils scraping this time, I'm bleeding like a stuck pig, sore for the rest of the day, tell my dh, "surely, they got enough that time!"
Guess who just called? WTH????!!!!!!
I repeated my concerns over the scraping ritual, and am now beginning to feel like a dried up old Halloween pumpkin. The doc says this has NEVER happened to her before! I'm starting to get worried. She is now having me go back to her partner this time for her to do the exam.
Between this and the mammograms I have to have every 6 months (another story), I should have glow in the dark boobs and a jack-o-lantern uterus. Well.....Halloween IS one of my favorite holidays! Grrrr!!!!
Sorry, I feel better now....

That was soo funny. I also have had to do the return visit. And one freeze up the whazooo. I think I had irritation that morphed into stuff, pre-whatever. I think they just like to make money. My mother used to have to get a mammogram and then another followup one, never found anything. she finally got mad and refused to even get any more. she never had breast cancer. I hate doctors. My early fifties was an unstable time. I believe the diagnosis was excess estrogen. Once all that estrogen went away, never had another pap smear problem.
omg-you poor thing! hope all goes well when you go in for the 3rd spread and scrape!
