[Lucycat]

Yeee Haaaa!

Just had my smear test!
I am so proud of myself.

OMG-- Well done - seriously, well done :applause:

I still haven't made my appointment :oops:

 

[Lucycat]

I made the appointment just yesterday. Told the nurse that I was anxiety meds and would need to take it beforehand. She was brill. Made the appointment but made it clear that if I did not turn up that was fine. Appointment for last thing so I could go straight home. ( In fact Rory came along to drive me home in case I was upset).

But it was fine, and I feel a huge weight has been lifted. I can now go back to my GP for repeat prescription knowing I have kept my side of the bargain.

I did not freak out or anything.
That's it for another 3 years ( I hope!)

Again - well done. This is still something I need to conquer.

I doubt this is true, but I haven't had sex in years, so I feel I can convince myself that I'm safe. That any cervical damage is only caused by sex. I have no doubt that you will all jump on me and tell me how wrong I am. I wish I could be brave and make an appointment and go - but I can't.

I wish I could be brave and make an appointment and go - but I can't.

CB,
You certainly are not alone. I have had neither a pap smear nor sex in years.I wish I could tell you without one we don't need the other.:no: But we do still need it.:cry:

I know this but am still not able to bring myself to get one.

Finding a good doctor is one of the most important things. Letting the doctor know what they're dealing with is another thing. And then... feeling the fear and doing it anyway is all it takes :)

I am now talking from the perspective of one who missed an appointment, rescheduled, cried her eyes out on the next one and then finally going to take the test, so you might not take my word for it exactly... ;)

That's so Awesome! Lucy!!!!!!

I didn't make it all the way through mine. She just did a quick exam and then sent me to my therapist's office...then they sent me to the psych ward.

But I made another appointment for this Friday (blek!!). She has to do a pap smear but I just found out didn't schedule the ultra-sound and I'm NOT going to go there TWICE!!! NOT happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still have pain. More phone calls, more stress. I wonder if it's gonna set off more voices too? Oh joy. I love my life:rolleyes:

Well done! I actually found making the appointment much harder than having the test done.
Still, I can see where you are coming from, wanting both tests over with at the same time. Hopefully you'll be able to arrange that.

..... and your sense of humour is back! Brilliant!!

 

[Heather]

Hopefully you'll be able to arrange that.

..... and your sense of humour is back! Brilliant!!

Sense of humor back = YES. Arranging two of those things at once = NO.
Making my Ex. pay all his back child support in one lump sum = PRICELESS:dance:

It really does hurt though. A LOT. Don't know if I'll be able to hold out t'il next Tuesday. I swear Men are so lucky.

They have a few wet dreams, their voices get high and that's about it...... NOT FAIR!!!!! MY LEFT OVARY IS KILLLING ME!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Heather]

Okay - made it through the Gyn. appt and ultrasound. NO cyst. Do you believe that!!!!!!

IT MIGHT BE ANOTHER KIDNEY STONE!! WAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHHHHH:banghead::insane::stomp::furious::help::insane::cry::faint::girlfight:(girlfight with my kidney stone)

 

[Heather]

OH, and if it's NOT! Next procedure -- colonoscopy. What am I? Some old person?? WTF!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Okay end rant.

 

[cherryblossom]

Well done for making it through your Gyn appt. On the plus side, no gyn problems, means no more gyn appts for now!!
