Follow-up appointment

Okay, so this morning was my four week follow up in regards to my slightly abnormal pap smear. My NP (whom I love) said "I know you enough that if I could, I would just retest in six months. But policy is further testing."

So I'm scheduled for a colopscopy (if I'm spelling it right). I almost cried when she said I have to have it done. I had one done when I was 15, and it was a traumatic experience (nothing quite prepares you for seeing your own blood on the wall). She was aghast that they even did that on a 15 year old who wasn't sexually active. She said if I was 15 today, it wouldn't have been done.

She assured me that it wouldn't be as bad this time around. I told her I'd agree to do it and that it was probably a bad experience that I should lay to rest. I wish she could do it, but I have to go see the technicians attached to their clinic.

The best news that I got out of the appointment was that my weight was unchanged from four weeks ago. And I was wearing boots today!!! Plus, she gave me a script for something to take before my appointment that will relax me a bit.

Wonder if this means I should take the rest of the day off work? I probably won't be able to get away with it, but we'll see what happens.
