Quite Appropriate for Friday the 13th

I have a doctors appointment today. But not just any doctors appointment - it's my yearly "lady bidness" appointment.

On Friday the 13th.

Yep, seems about right to me.

I haven't quite decided which is worse - the humiliation of the "crotch-to-face" position or the tearing of the paper when they make you scoot down. Oh you know how it goes...you are lying bared-assed in a lovely, not so flattering, hospital gown on a paper lined cot and your gyno says "Scoot down."

"A little more."

"Just a little more."

"Almost there."

RRIIIIPP

"Okay that's good."

Apparently the paper tear signals when you in just the right "crotch-to-face" position. ~sigh~

Next week's post: The eye doctor & tales of dilation.

Damn getting old sucks.





**Okay so tell me am I the only one that wears socks during the gyno check? I just think it's rude to have my bare feet in her face. Oxymoron perhaps?!

No socks for me but I can relate to the paper rip unfortunately.

I wear socks, that way I don't feel totally naked and at least some part of me remains warm while you wait forever in the paper ball gown to be seen.

Wearing socks helps!

If it's summer, I just make sure I've had a recent pedi :)

Can't wait to hear all about the eye check!

Well, not really, I was just being polite...

always always wear socks.. although at my gyno they put pot holders (the ones shaped like mittens) on the stirrups so that makes it cute.

I get crazy high blood pressure during those exams and then they don't want to give me my drugs! I hate that exam its always the worst... this is a situation where I'd like to know how to meditate better

I always wear socks. Its my sole claim to modesty when my hoo-haa's in the wind.

I never really thought about why I wear socks.....yeah and the paper has to rip.

Coming from an el-preggo, it's funny how you totally get used to having your cootch up in the air. By the time you give birth, you aren't even really thinking, "Wow! There are six-hundred and fifty people in this room staring right at my vajayjay!"

I hate the scoot. It's so incredibly awkward!

Veronica said...

I always hate that part of the visit too. That's why I try to sit on the very edge of the table to try to prevent that lol.

Oh and I too try and wear socks. The only time I didn't was when I was huge and pregnant in the dead heat of summer and just did not care haha!

I wear socks because I think they stink slightly less than my bare feet.
