Aww, pre-ops don't take too long. You will still be able to celebrate your birthday:)

It'll be most of the day taken up due to traveling.
Oh well.

 

[cherryblossom]

You'll just have to extend your birthday for the whole weekend!

I too have put off the pap smear thing. It scares the living daylight out of me. I fear that something might be wrong with me and don't want to find out. It is like my former abuser could of left yet another thing to damage me. I hate to be touched and sometimes freak out for no reason. I guess I have to be honest with myself, I hate being touched by men and I try to put it off in my mind into denial and when I explode, it is like I make myself forget the reason why. I just want to run away at times. The anger feels kinda good though.

Marie, you don't have to go to a male doctor. You could choose a female doctor. And you can also talk to he, specify that you don't want a male present there, go into as much detail as you can. If you can tell her details, she will be able to treat you correspondently.

Don't put it off. The longer you wait, the worse it gets, and you know that! Putting things off doesn't mean there's nothing worng, it just means you don't know about it. I'm not saying that there necessarily is something wrong, but you saying that you don't want to find out there's something wrong just made me be a little more agressive than I usually am. Go to the docotr! It's unconfortable for a while, but then you can live with peace of mind because you will know where you stand.

Take care.

Yeah, you are right. I have a family clinic close to me. I just need to get off my behind to get my medicaid. For now I can pay off of my SSI. I've been there before as I had a injection in my arm put in for birth control, than out, pregnancy tests. I will try and make it my goal. It is always good to be a lil bit of aggressive as it can push someone in the right direction. If I don't listen to myself, at least I can consider the support of somebody else. Thxs Nyx

I agree with Nyx, don't put it off.
I regret putting it off, I could of been treated alot sooner, and maybe things wouldn't be as bad as they are now.
Yea it's not pleasant but it's for a short amount of time.

I know you are all right about this - but I still haven't been for my smear test. Just the thought of it makes me want to vomit. Not the worry about the results or concerned that there is something wrong - just the thought of the physical examination Link Removed

 

[lilstar]

I get what ya mean, I felt the same way too Link Removed
And on that note, I have to have another examination before my op Link Removed

One thought is also asking for something to calm you down. I have in the past asked and been given something. Unfortunately for me I was still unsuccesful. Link Removed However I did that time get INTO the office.

Pre op on friday Link Removed this all SUCKS big time....
