I don't want to go to the doctor tomorrow
Tell me one good reason I should... please?

And, I've postponed the appt. 3 times so far. I should have gone in Feb.

But... but... I feel like I might have a sore throat... and, since it is an OBGYN,

there will be pregnant women there...and, and, they might catch something from me...

*sigh*

I can't put this off forever, can I?

Or... can I?

1. Cancer is less fun than a pap smear.
Suck it up and go dammit.

2. Yeah... I know...
I'm being completely illogical. Completely. I think that is my specialty in life.

5. So be illogical
but be illogical in stirrups for 5 minutes. You can and will survive this indignity. :)



Or you could just skip it, go to through airport security and ask what happens if they think someone's hiding drugs up their hoohoo. :)

3. Firestone will do your lube, oil and filter for $19.95 and they're much faster.
;)

Once you get it done at least it's over for a year.

8. Hey... don't you think I might give one of those pregnant women..
..a sore throat? And, wouldn't that cause damage to their unborn child? Maybe even birth defects? It's possible...right?

10. Wear a freaking mask, OK?
It's highly unlikely that you'll give anyone anything....

Cover your mouth and nose if you sneeze......

Stop with the excuses, already!

I gotta give you this......you're damn inventive! :rofl:

I know how it is.....I go every year, and have done so forever......:hug:

11. Sadly I am a procrastinator too. It;s been 5 yrs for me
I hate to make appointments because I never know when I will sleep, so I often miss them or end up cancelling because I am too tired .. and scheduling labs is horrendous because I don't go to bed at 10 and wake up at 7 ".. and it;s hard to fast when you are awake .. I am a coffee addict :(

15. My dear SoCalDem...
Five years is a long time, sweetie...

Can you look at your daily life, and figure out a time when you're always awake?

And then make your appointment for that, after explaining it to the person on the phone?

That might make it easier...

Cause five years is just too many, sweetie....

And I'd hate to see you get sick from something that could have been stopped so easily........if it had been caught in time...

:hug:

16. Actually, I was supposed to go in as a follow-up to my previously....
...measured blood pressure, which didn't look good before. Oddly enough, I have cracked some ribs recently, which have not done as well as I've wanted them to, so that is what I'm really wanting him to look at.

BTW, I don't expect a prostate exam tomorrow, but if he does do it, he'd better put on some Barry White, and turn the lights down low... :P

17. lol!
That's cute. ;-)

Well, cracked ribs sure don't sound fun. Can you believe I still have a rib that hurts me, from a collision with a Coca-Cola truck, in 1993?! The physical therapist (many years ago) told me I might always feel a little pain because the human body is constantly moving-- due to breathing, and therefore ribs don't always completely heal. When I told the doc it hurt when I wore tight pants, he quipped, "Then don't wear tight pants!" Doctors... sigh.

20. you can't put it off
well, I suppose you *can*, but don't.

When it's done you won't have to think about it for another year. And you'll be glad you don't have it hanging over your head anymore.

27. If you go
then you'll feel relieved the day after tomorrow, because it will be all over.

If you don't go, then you get to keep worrying.

Please go. :hug:
