Cramps and Links
Posted on | May 17, 2005 | 7 Comments
The procedure didn’t take much time, but how long should it really take to spy and scrape? I did remember to eat before the appointment, but I didn’t take any painkillers, so I cramped up quite painfully.
I spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch, called my Mom to bitch (because if mom won’t listen to you, then who will?) and then fell into a fitful routine of alternatly vegging on the couch and trying to get the dogs to move so I had some room.
No sex for 2 weeks. Not cool, man! No tampons. Nothing is allowed near cootchie while it heals. But at least my cervix doesn’t look too abnormal. She told me it “looks fine” but stuck me with a biopsy and the scraping anyway. My PAP came back with an abnormal number of pre-cancerous cells (I thought any number was abnormal, but what do I know?) so she wanted to examine me further to determine the extent of the problem. I find out in 2 weeks what the story is.
Things that are kinda scary in a doc’s office:
the ever-humming autoclave
those metal spreader-things (they look like toothless metal mouths)
Q-tips of abnormal proportions
Foot-rests on the beds
The laid-out tools (you realize then just how many things are going to violate you)
The hurried nature of the visit
I think tonight I am going to lay down again (going to have to skip coffee Rev, sorry!) and try to rest. I need a nap in the worst way. So sleepy. The frickin coffee isn’t working…..

The new PS looks cool in an interesting retro kind of way. I’m sorry you still feel like crap, maybe it will pass by tomorrow.

I could just medicate myself with wine…but I don’t think that thinning the blood will help stop the bleeding (which is better right now)
I think the PS looks rockin! I can’t wait to hear more.

So I got out of dinner later then I had planned and I figured by now you have probably eaten, and knowing that you are not feeling well, you are probably sleeping. So I have used my better judgment to not stop by, cause I don’t want to wake you sleepyhead.:mrgreen:

It’s okay Rev…I had pizza for dinner and it was nummy. We can try to do something later this week – I just got your messages now (yes…..my ringer was off….yes…again… yes, I’m a dumbass).
Truly, I feel a lot better today. My abdomen just feels kind of tight, like a slight constant cramp without the pain. I shall go nitey nite now and dream of un-cancerous cervixes.
