Cold Shower
I had big plans to do a sex meme tonight as I am both tired and more than a little anxious about tomorrow’s appointment at the Gynaecology Department. My anxiety comes in two parts - the usual fairly boring ‘what if they find something horrible which ends up with lying on a trolley being wheeled into surgery or being on the front cover of the British Medical Journal (or both); and the other slightly more interesting and definitely more blog-able.
I am not sure what is going to happen tomorrow - whether or not there will be some kind of scan or… exam… I would totally prefer a pen and paper - you have two hours - in a stuffy room type but the physical? No… It’s not the embarrassing exposure part - well, it is but its also…
To put it another way… I’m a little sensitive … and not exactly hard to please…
The last time I had an exam I was asked twice if it was too warm as I looked a little flushed. It was difficult to explain that the slightest touch…
I’m not, thank God, one of those woman who can’t control herself; but it does get hard difficult interesting sometimes trying to think of new ways to take my mind off what is going on… and not suggesting ‘a little to the left and a little harder please’.
I usually try dividing phone numbers by 2 or 3 or something or trying to remember all the lyrics to Stairway To Heaven but that doesn’t help when whoever is examining you is trying to keep up a conversation in a light hearted way.
So my question to you is what is your mental cold shower? Have you ever needed one?

I never needed a mental old shower during those sort of exams, I was sensitive but in the bad way. A simple smear test was agony! That’s a passion killer right there ;o)
Good luck today!!

Oh that is funny, but I can see how it could be terribly awkward. My mental cold shower is my parents doing the nasty. I mean, really. At their age. Hope it all goes well.

Penelope - It’s odd how ridiculously high my pain threshold is - it’s why when I am in pain and am complaining about it everyone who knows me gets really concerned. Thank’s for the good luck wishes, I needed then and when I finish writing today’s post you’ll see why.
Selma - Awkward in the worst way. Parents DO NOT EVER have sex except the one time it took to conceive the children… lalalalalalala… although that is a better cold shower than anything else!

Oh thank God I’m not the only one!!! This is why I only go to female gynecologists now. Years ago, my doctor was intently feeling for my ovaries, only he was rubbing right on my G-spot. I had to play all kinds of mind games to keep from utterly humiliating myself.
