2. Just a check up...
annual physical kind of thing. Still...I just don't like being poked and prodded.

7. It's no big deal.
The doc will check your reflexes, make you say "ahhhhh," and listen to your heart, lungs and abdominal sounds. I'm assuming you're not undergoing the dreaded speculum today?

9. Unfortunately...
you assume wrong. I wasn't gonna mention the dreaded speculum in deference to the delicate sensibilities of the men of DU. But yeah...that's one of the big reasons I'm not looking forward to the appointment.

12. Just gaze at the lovely seascape they will undoubtedly have on the ceiling
Or the kitten hanging from a wire saying, "Hang in there!" It'll be over before you know it!

14. My last dentist always did that...
had the dang posters on the ceiling. Drove me nuts looking at them after the first few minutes. Unforutnately the doctor won't give me happy gas like the dentist did. *pout*

10. Yup...

I figure I will. I'm not really scared there's something wrong with me. I'm just antsy about the process of finding that out for sure. I don't really like being touched by strangers....much less being naked in front of them. I'm just a little wiggy.
