This is my first contribution for TMI Thursday over at Live It, Love It.
I’m pretty sure this post fits the meme. Maybe.
Anyhoooo, I slipped my thumb into the sleeve of my coat to push the elevator button. Ding! I walked to the large glass door and slid my hand up my sleeve again to push down the handle. Ahhhh…Gynecology. Has a certain ring to it. Oh, why all the sleeve action? For those of you who don’t know me………Hi, I’m Sheila…and I’m a germaphobe. AND, I might add…after watching the young couple come out of the office after me…the dad who just sneezed in his hand, blew his nose THEN touched the door handle? YUP, SLEEVES it is.
I sat waiting patiently. Why do ya always have to pee when you’re waiting? You could have went 10 minutes earlier but ya still have a full bladder. Tick, tick, tock of the clock. Watching 3 people who came in after me….get called go in before me. No worries. I am a year late in scheduling this exam…so it serves me right.
An elderly man hobbled up to the OB-GYN receptionist. She said, “I’m sorry sir, you are in the wrong department….you want the office across the hall”
“Yes, I’m here to pick up my new hearing aid”, he smiled and said loudly.
“No, you want the office across the hall sir” she said loudly in return.
The man smiles, “Yes! My new hearing aid! Do you need my insurance now?”
This went on for about 2 minutes and he understood. He left touching that gross sneezed infested door handle. Poor guy. Now he won’t be able to hear and he’ll have a cold. *What? ACHOO*
Anyways…why is it that we (women) get all gussied up when going to the gyno? We make sure we look gooood. Why? The doctor is certainly nowhere near our face. We bathe and get all ‘manicured’ like we’re impressing someone. I’m sure if they see one, they see them all. We shave our legs and put on clean socks. Wear at least semi-nice clothes that the doctor never sees, considered we’re um, naked by the time they come in. And we usually carry on pleasant conversations like we’re great friends. That is if you’d let a friend look that closely into your mind. By way of your vajay-jay!
Okay, well, everything ‘felt’ and ‘looked’ good so now the wait begins for the actual pap results. Which, having had one bad one in the past and then having to get the far reaching insides of my nether regions scraped with what felt like a very angry Freddy Kruegers’ nails…definitely isn’t fun. (the wait OR the scrape)
And that rectal exam. Oh now we’re talkin fun. All that nice conversation only to have someone stick their finger up your ass. Good Lord, Why? Why I ask? The good thing is I didn’t spontaneously fart after wards. When you hit your forties…it’s always a great day if you don’t spontaneously fart.
Oh, we had a fun time…we even talked about GARLIC and how great it is for the immune system. The assistant made a note to get herself some. Smart cookie. Oh, and she commented on how good I smelt. Smelt? I was wearing my Aventine Hill Pumpkin Patch lotion. I think she said “beautiful yet subtle”. THEN…she ordered! I do suppose that’s the least she could do after putting her finger up my butt. Well, that or dinner.
Oh my gosh! I almost forgot! ANDDDD I gained 4 pounds. How awesome! *not*. I made sure I emptied my bladder and had an empty stomach just for the occasion. Damn it! I’m thinking, though…that since I washed my hair before my appointment….and I think I read somewhere that hair retains a certain amount of moisture after a wash/dry….that it might be that contributing to my gain. So, yeah… I’m goin with that.
How much fun did YOU have today?

I have no experience with the gyno, I do know that it sucks when your sitting there naked waiting for the doctor and you have to pee. What really sucks is when they give you a cup and you go to fill it and you don’t have to go anymore.
January 21st, 2010 on 1:31 am
Oh my gosh I almost wet my pants when I read the part about spontaneously farting. LOL!
January 21st, 2010 on 8:11 am
It is funny how we get all primped and pretty for the gyno, isn’t it? I just about spit my coffee out in laughter at the whole spontaneous fart part.
January 21st, 2010 on 8:19 am
Wait a freaking minute here. What’s this about a rectal exam? Isn’t going up the vajay-jay bad enough???
January 21st, 2010 on 8:19 am
So funny! I too get all dressed with full hair and make-up to go to the Gyno. Not sure why I go to all that trouble but the last time I went, my husband got home from work and said, “what are you all dressed up for? Oh yeah, the once a year you get all gussied up to see the ‘lady parts’ doctor.” A “you like nice” would have been enough but I guess that’s men for you.
Hey guess what??? I started on garlic the other day. It must be good if you’re telling everybody about it, right? Just as long as it doesn’t make me gain 4 pounds. I finally fit into my jeans again after losing my extra Holiday fluff, 4 pounds would wreck me. Lol!

These female bonding moments bring tears to my eyes. ::sniff, sniff:: Too funny…in a “happened to me too” way…
Namaste

This reminds me that I’m due for my annual. Oh joy. I do the same thing with buttons (use my coat sleeve)
January 21st, 2010 on 8:47 am
I do not have to do this until this Summer. Yeah. I do not enjoy it either but I was to be healthy and safe. That poor old man..
January 21st, 2010 on 8:56 am
Too funny!!
January 21st, 2010 on 9:50 am
Yeah, yearly Pap is the highlight of my year or at least that’s what my gyno thinks who happens to be my GP as well.I am 4 months behind so every time I need something I send my hubs and keeps reminding him to tell me.

Well, I started with “slipped my thumb into” and really thought it was going a different direction.
Then, what do ya know.
It went that direction anyway.
Kudos, to a virgin TMI Post. It was…ahem…lovely.
“You smell good” has got to be on the list for best gyno comment EVER.
January 21st, 2010 on 12:01 pm
Oh Sheila…………there were too many almost spit my coffee at the screen moments in this one!
I admit, I get all gussied up to see the man who only sees me naked……and I make sure I am immaculately clean!!
Just this past week I was talking to my teen about birth control(she’s been dating the same boy over 2 years) and then mentioned a gyno exam, poor thing, she may be shell shocked…………when I mentioned the speculum, she said it sounds like it will split my vagina in half, I said no dear,that will be your first child!!!
Great post!

Oh my, thank you Sheila…you reign supreme with the comic relief! And I’m still chuckling over Anita’s remark, lol.
I’m over due for my gyn, but have my first baby doc appt next week so I’m sure that’ll take care of it.

I don’t blaming her for ordering – your stuff is incredible!!
Speaking of farts — and sneezes– the other day Kelly said “A fart is like a sneeze for your butt.”
TOTALLY with you on the sleeves thing. And hand sanitizer 50x a day.
xo

The gyno is never fun. I am always nervous a fart will slip right on out which would be so embarrassing! My husband would always comment too that I way more gussied up for those visits than a night with him. Which is true cause their taking a look see with the lights on, lol!

HAHA. That was great… especially the spontaneous fart part. You know, my Dr. comes in and is all “how is your vagina doing today” and then calls the rectal exam “the special handshake”
He’s weird.
But funny.

Sounds like something that my date might say if asked, “How was your first date?” LMAO!!!

There is NOTHING worse than the point in the exam when the rectal region is violated.

I hate going to the gyno. Even though I actually love mine. Still, there’s just no way to have someone stick foreign objects up your lady bits, without buying you dinner, and for it to be a good experience.

Maybe it’s just me. I hit 44 and quit fancying myself up for the gyno.

I totally spit my Monster at the computer screen when your doc told you that you smelled good. And I think a spontaneous fart would be the perfect “thank you” to her for sticking her finger up your ass.
And since when do they do rectal exams at the gyno? *shivers*
January 22nd, 2010 on 9:31 am
I am so overdue for my annual. I really must make an appointment already…
No rectal exam involved though, thank goodness. I think I’d pass out from the shock. It’s definitely not part of the standard check over here.
