Floaters and sinkers
Apr. 2nd, 2006 10:27 amI went to my gynecologist Friday for my annual checkup -- something I actually love doing (despite the pap smear) because I love my usual nurse practitioner so much. And also, I admit, because not every day starts with people telling me several times, in delighted voices, that something about me is perfect--who can resist an ego boost like that? Yes, doctors get rather excited about me... it's cute. And I got to tell my NP's adorable new student about Essure. And now I know I'm okay for the year.
So, point #1 -- go to your gynecologist, unless you are a man, in which case you still need an annual checkup from someone but it's not a gynecologist. If you get a clean bill of health you'll feel great, and if you don't, then you're much better off knowing the whatever-it-is you'll find out.
The rest of this post is for a very funny handout I picked up at the gyno's about bacteria, your butt, floaters vs sinkers, and why you want your logs to be spongy (their phrasing, not mine). It may help to imagine it printed on bright orange paper. In fact, through the miracle of HTML I can remove your need to imagine.
Sadly, mine are sinkers. Plunk. Must... try... harder... must... make... spongy... logs....
