and how was your morning

[rmd]

having a morning GYN annual exam today resulted in RECTAL EXAM BEFORE BREAKFAST.

hopefully, the day is only uphill from there.

I've got nothin'. If I were you I'd demand a restart sans rectal exam.

Eeep.

Are you stalking me?

it's a WICKED PISSAH SOMERVILLE CONSPIRACY, BAYBEE.

So tell me, what's a lace-curtain motherfucker like you doing in the Staties?

[rmd.livejournal.com]

my grandmother wanted to be lace curtain. we weren't quite shanty irish, but i don't think we quite made it to lace curtain.

my nephew is in the staties.

did you ever hear me speak to any of my brothers on the phone?

i don't ordinarily have that much of a boston accent. until you put me on the phone, particularly with the brother i worked with for years. THICKEST FUCKIN TOWNIE ACCENT EVAR.

"Your fuckin' family's dug into the Southie projects like ticks. Three-decker men at best. You, however, grew up on the North Shore, huh? Well, la-di-fuckin'-da. You were kind of a double kid, I bet, right? Huh? One kid with your old man, one kid with your mother. You're upper-middle class during the weeks, then you're droppin' your "R"s and you're hangin' in the big, bad Southie projects with your daddy, the fuckin' donkey on the weekends. I got that right? Yup. You have different accents? You did, didn't you? You little fuckin' snake. You were like different people."

Nope. It's just the birds-of-a-feather effect.

"Yo! You're not looking for my breakfast up there, are ya'? Cause I haven't HAD ANY YET. Bring me a damn bagel!"

errr... hope everything failed to come out okay?

So, is your prostate OK?

Oy!

[drwex]

That's a bit early, innit?

On men the exam is usually for prostate problems - on a woman, what's the purpose?

Re: Oy!

[rmd.livejournal.com]

to make sure that the vaginal exam isn't the most annoying part of the exam.

"to make sure that the vaginal exam isn't the most annoying part of the exam."

Aw man, now my screen is all soggy (note to self, read THEN drink).

Re: Oy!

Palpitate the uterus and ovaries from the other side.

Re: Oy!

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

I've never once had that done in all my years of twat exams!

Re: Oy!

[judith-s.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure you've missed it terribly. They usually do it when there are ovarian cysts, a fibroid, or a history of cancer.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

Adventures in living indeed. Meep.

I once had a scope snaked up my ass before breakfast. GOOD TIMES WERE HAD BY ALL.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

yea! i've had that done.

i actually have to make an appt to have that done again. (since i'm a higher risk for ASS CANCER, they want to do a colonoscopy ever 3 years rather than ever 5 as normal for folks whose asses they rotorooter)

[firni.livejournal.com]

They told ME it was every TEN years for those not at high risk for ASS CANCER. Of course, I got mine early, as they usually say "get the first one at 50" but the doctor just had to cram the scope in there to make sure ALL THOSE BLOOD TESTS WERE CORRECT.

I've decided that "IBS" stands for "I'm Baffled, Sheeiiiiiiiiit".

Does it really matter if it's before or after breakfast?

[rmd.livejournal.com]

TIT! CRUSH! TUESDAY!

do they put little stickers on your nipples so they can find them on the x-ray?

[rmd.livejournal.com]

i can't remember if the place i've gone before does that. i think they do not. i'm due for one in the next couple of months, tho, so then i'll know for sure.

i've been going to schatzki radiology (now mt auburn radiology, i think) over at 725 concord ave.

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

I was really disappointed in myself for not being able to think of anything creative to do with the little tittie-stickers after they were done with the photo-shoot.

TWAT EXAM -- UR DOIN IT WRONG

[judith-s.livejournal.com]

You have some classy friends regis. :)

I suppose it's better than doing a rectal exam before breakfast.
