Monday

Monday:
i, uh, had a little snaffoo at the doctors office this morning. my physical doctor found a polyp so she said it was beyond her realm and i needed to go to the gyno. so i went in this morning at 9:00 and he looked and found 3 or 4. so he just removed them! i said "is it gonna hurt?" and he said "you'll have some cramping, but it won't hurt." so i said to the nurse "he doesn't have a cervix-is he lying?" and she just kinda chuckled but didn't answer. so he goes to work and removed them and it hurt like a mother! then when he finished i was feeling kinda sick and said "can i have some water." so they got me some water and let me just lay there for a while. and i started feeling REALLY sick. then everything started ringing and i was just thinking "no, not here! there's no one around!" and i couldn't reach the button to tell them i needed someone because i was afraid if i got off the table i was going to pass out on the floor. sooooo...i laid back. then woke up to a puke volcano erupting from my gagging throat. i seriously thought i was gonna die. they came back in and i'm sitting there naked from the waist down with stuff all over my shirt and i had to use the clothe they gave me to cover up with to clean up - still couldn't reach the button but the doctor came in and the look of bewilderment that came over his face said it all. i said "i threw up....i passed and i woke up puking." he was soooo sorry. he's never had that reaction ever from a patient but he said it's possible. it's called a vagal reaction-when your cervix is touched it can make you pass out and/or puke. for me-it's both. he said "so...can you feel your papsmears?" and i said yes-i honestly never knew people don't! so i had to lay there for another hour before i got color back into my face. so i called work, because i was expecting to be back after 45 minutes and this was 2 hours later, and told them i have to go home. things didn't turn out quite the way they were supposed to. but i couldn't explain in detail because it's all guys!
