Yep, this morning was my turn girlies! All is well and another year before I have to don my paper gown and put anklets in my purse because I hate the thought of riding that table cowboy with my feet in community stirrups. (Yeah, even though they have disposable covers on them.)Since I have been 18 years old, I have gone for an annual check-up ... or should I say "check-down" without fail. I feel superstitious about it. Since I've never missed, I am afraid the first time I do will trigger some sort of va-jay-jay voodo that will cause me to have a negative outcome.
Actually I was curious to be weighed on a "doctors" scale. Don't we usually think since we're in a medical office, what ever it reads out must be gospel? I hopped on the scale and thought, well ... still is good, but I was hoping my scale was waaaaaaaay off. When my doctor was going over my chart, she looked at my weight and said "oh Nancy, our scale is wrong ... you have you subtract 3 (yes, she said SUBTRACT THREE) more pounds". In doing that, I realize my scale is correct, AND that I have lost 2 more pounds. This brings my total to 28 pounds.
::: doing the Snoopy happy dance here for a moment :::
Anyway, my post is really for a public service announcement.
Make that annual appointment and celebrate it as you do your birthday. Have cake and ice cream too if that is a motivator to go.

Congrats on losing a few more.
And even though I don't need to go and get my woo-ha checked, I have neglected another appointment, and I'm REALLY over-due. thanks for reminding me. :)
If it weren't for a good cause, I'd be responding "TMI"!
Kevin: Thanks ... and get your butt into the doctors, literately!
Michael: It's such a girl thing ... and yep...a lot of women don't go in on a regular basis ... but we all should.
Ah, I'm up pretty soon, with a bonus mammogram. Whee.
Great about the 28 pounds. Amazing!
Oh man, you slay me. The combination of that title and the Snoopy happy dance this early in the morning just about did me in!
In all seriousness though, I'm way overdue for my own check. Thanks for the reminder, though I may never look the same way at a speculum again LOL.
Yep, I'm all poked, prodded, felt up, and booby-squashed for the year!
GnG: Oh yeah, the mamo happens for me every Nov. Glad to hear you are onit =)
Robin:We have to try to find humor in it someway ?!?!?!? lol .. make that appointment =)
Patience: perfect description! Glad you are good for another year.
I loved the 'snoopy dance' comment. I always hear happy dance, but I LOVED the reference to snoopy dancing! Priceless!!!
oooh, I am a baaad girl! I haven't been to the dr. in a lonnnng time. I should go.
and congrats on your 28 pounds!!! Woo hoo!!!!
I do my annual in the same month as my birthday. Kinds of like some sick birthday gift to myself.
i hate hate hate going for THAT appointment. Although, I can't help but think it's got to be much better than a mamogram. My doc always strikes up a conversation with me while she's down there. Is that supposed to make me feel more comfortable? The worst was when one of the nurses called a couple of her coworkers in to see how adorable my pedicure was...
Great job on the weight loss! I could use a break form doctors right about now. ;)
Great job on the negative poundage! And I think "Va-jay-jay Voodoo" would be a terrific name for a rock band (all girl, of course!).
Jami: LOL, I think you are on to something.
