I'm sorry, i can't seem to find your cervix...

-
Those words haunt me time and time again.

YES LADIES (sorry gentlemen) today was smear test day. I'd only had one last June but due to some unusual bodily activity (bleeding throughout the month and after S.I), i had the enjoyment of visiting the nurse and getting one done.

She probed around downstairs for a good 5 minutes before my cervix came into sight (and that was after i had to put my fists under my bum to raise my pelvis)...excellent, i love the whole ORDEAL of laying there, legs akimbo and getting NO satisfaction out of it!!!!

I have to be honest now and say it wasn't as bad as the last one where she DID make me bleed, and the feeling of the swab going around inside you is the possibly the oddest feeling in the world, and the fact she did FIVE different swab's made it even worse....

LOVE IT!!

They use to use something that resembled a cotton wall bud to swab, now its like the end of a mascara brush..but at least they've progressed from those awful metal speculums to plastic ones, that's a bonus!

Never TMI... ;)

I had to do the same, put my fists under there.. that was after 10mins of trying, then a further 5 or so after that! The time before I bled a while too, it was pretty sore!

They normally can't find a vein either, so they jab around in one arm bruising it, then reiterate what Ive already told them (that that particular arm is no good), the jab about in the other one too!

Fun, fun, fun!

Oh yeah, all good fun!

I have amazing veins...i have to say, never have any trouble getting blood from me. And even more so since my operation, i have some really rathehr special varicose veins running from knee to shin - i'm a lucky girl!!!

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
