I'm pretty open about my body, to my teenage boys dismay! LOL  but they know what women go threw and I think that will make them better husbands in the long run! LOL


Any way I had that one appointment us women are suppose to have  once a year. Yeah I will admit it, it has been oh umm like 10 years for me!  Lucky me my doctor isn't a nagger and totally understood that when the boys where little I got busy, then when I was diagnosed with emphysema and fibromyalgia and depression I was in the doctor or specialist offices so much the last thing I wanted to do was make yet another appointment to go too. She did mention that as i get older I should make sure to get in a bit more regularly LOL

David and I have always accompanied each other to our doctor appointments.  Just how we have always done it. So it has been awhile since he has seen the instruments of torture they use on us women for here exams.

Notice a woman NEVER forgets what a speculum is or how it is used or for what!!!!!!!!! Men not so much!They still think a prostate exam is worse then giving birth or having your body's openings being stretched open so far you can see the heart! ( ok not really that far but it feels like it!) then they scrape your insides with a peace of plastic, then they use a stiff bristled brush that looks like a mini  bottle brush! LOL  Then yeah well i won't get in to where all they stick fingers LOL

It is such a joy to have your insides pushed on from the out side and inside at the same time! at least I have 3 more years before she will make me go for booby smashing! and 13 years before the colonoscopy  WOOHOOO lucky me! lol

She did let me get away with out a blood draw (woohooooo)  since I have had that done the last 3 times I have been in LOL




Oh back to David and the speculum! LOL  The nurse had set everything the doctor would need out on the counter then covered with a towel. You can see under it if you look. Dave is sitting in the chair since I'm in on the table in a peace of cloth with a whole in the middle for my head that goes to maybe my waist, then a sheet smaller then a baby blanket over my lap! LOL  So he is like that thing is scary! it looks like a Medieval torture device! LOL

He would turn away from it, but then turn back around and look again! LOL it was to funny. You could tell he was so uncomfortable I could not stop laughing! I'm sure the other patients where wondering what was so funny in our room! LOL  I don't know why but I just love to catch my  husband in this position LOL  I love that we can laugh at life!


 I do have to say the uncomfortable part of this exam went much faster then I remember! and was way less uncomfortable ( painful) too!


So all you busy ladies out there Don't forget to take care of your self and get in for your yearly even if it is a little more then a year
