Woman only
Today was the day, that all woman dread, that all woman have nightmares about, that all woman put off until the 11th hour, today was "Gynecologist Day"............. as it happens I really needed to go my hormone tablets were finished 7 days, 6 hours and 45 minutes ago, and i had already begun with the hot flushes, the night sweats, the lack of patience, the irritability .......... the nice me ....................
When you make the appointment you make it months in advance so that you will have loads of time to get used to the idea, but before you know it the day arrives.......... so you have an extra long bath in the morning making sure that all parts are good and clean and fresh ............tralala................. you choose clothes that are easy to get out of, and into, it almost sounds like you are off to meet a clandestine lover.
For me it has become a mother and daughter event my eldest daughter and I always go together, either she makes the appointment or I do, just to make sure that we keep our yearly appointment, according to the gynecologist my youngest daughter is not of age yet so she misses out on all the fun........
On the way to the event my eldest daughter asks me what hair style I have today, and at first I did not understand what she was talking about.................... and then the penny dropped and the conversation took a absurd turn, I think it had a lot to do with the nerves...........talk of needing a weed eater to get through the undergrowth, of short back and sides, of Brazilian and French and babies bum......................... definitely nerves ...............
We arrive with plenty of time to spare , and after having a 15 minute debate as to who was to go first, we decided to leave it in the hands of the very competent receptionist, who is obviously deaf, because she did not hear the phone ringing again and again and again and again and again .............. obviously multitasking is not one of her most admirable attributes............... honesty is also not one of her attributes because she assured me when I made the booking that we were the first appointments of the day ....... and surprise there was 3 people in front of us ????
Well I suppose that I would have been happy if being first came with a prize, but I was the chosen one I got to go first ............ lucky, lucky me....... my daughter always says so that i can see what kind of mood he is in so that she still has time to change her mind.
The gynecologist is really nice, very friendly, bald as a badger and never stops talking , he tells you to go into the changing room, and remove the bottom half of your carefully chosen wardrobe, and then to call him when you are decent................ how can you ever be decent with half of your clothes lying over a chair, your most private parts , covered with a blue floral sheet........ and your most private being, about to be invaded by a stranger ......................... well almost stranger .......
He does the deed, and then proceeds to show you, your bladder, your bowels .................... which he tells you are very full ............. like you didn't know that I am not so old that I have lost all feeling in the lower extremities of my body ...... WHO CARES......... you just want him to finish sooner than later would be much better.......
I ask him how long I need to come back for...... "Until I can't remember what i am looking for anymore .............................." he should have been a comedian.............
What seems like hours is in fact a few minutes, all is well, he asks me to get dressed, and then back to his office ......................... and you can start stressing all over again for your next years appointment............................................

I AM WHO I AM
Thanks for popping in to my blog, i hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoy writing it, please pass it on to friends and family, and leave a comment to let me know that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, SOMETIME is reading it...
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your post is very funny because it's soooo true! Now to make you feel better, I go to my GYN whom I work with in surgery on a regular basis...and as he's doing the dirty deed he asks if I'm working with him in his room the next day. I just say.."I don't know you, you don't know me..just do this and move on!" So if you want to feel better next year, just imagine having your boss give you a pelvic and be grateful that he doesn't! Have a good day!
