This crap can STOP any time

So I went to the dr today about my cholesterol.

I had an abnormal pap smear.
So I get to go to the OB/GYN on Dec 28 for a colposcopy and maybe a biopsy.

It's probably nothing. But this is like another cup of turnip on the plate.

I didn't say turnip.
I didn't want turnip.
Turnip is something I hate.
But they scooped it and heaped it
And finally piled it
As high as the moon on my plate.


You remember that scene in Close Encounters where he's building Devil's Tower out of mashed potatoes? Yeah, my plate looks like that, only with ugly mashed turnips: turnips of deadlines, turnips of health trouble, turnips of family chaos.

And I've been told I have to eat it all. No matter how bitter and pithy and gross.

There are days not even gyros, chocolate and naked muses can make better.

*hugs* I had the abnormal pap fun last year. My sympathies.

If it makes you feel any better, Dr. D says 90% of the time it's just because the techs who process those things can't count right.

For some reason it seems that our life has to have these periods. We want it to be all joy and roses and gyros and chocolate and naked muses. OB/GYNs and colposcopies and biopsies are no fun. Why can't the good times last??????

My only consolation is to say what I've finally begun to take into my heart. The good times don't last, true, but neither do the bad times. Don't make it worse by thinking of this has bitter and pithy and gross turnips you HAVE to eat. Think about the fact that THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

And you will writing entries here in LJ about how things are going so much better.

MUCH love to you! We are here for you.

I doubt this will help... but I *am* praying for you.

What happens if we dump the chocolate on the muses, and put the gyros in integral places....

*hopeful look*

I am sorry that life has handed you such a pile of shit lately. It seems so much to have to bear, and all at once.

I am thinking of you, and sending you thoughts of strenght and perserverence. I know you will triumph, at the end of the day.

ANd when you need nekkid chocolate muses, I'll send you some.

I had an abnormal pap smear once. It turned out to be nothing. May that be the case with you as well.

*hugs*

Oh, babe!

Every time I've had followups to abnormal paps, biopsies or whatever, it's turned out to be nothing, an infection at the worst. May it be so for you! In fact, I had several of these which were due to my blasted former boyfriend, who had a pinhole leak in his bladder, and bladder infections himself. The last person I knew who had a biopsy of this kind turned out to be fine, and I shall hold your image in my heart in good health.

Thanks. We're hoping it's nothing. The Dr. says it's likely nothing.

Buuuuuuuuuuttttt....

Mom had a hysterectomy at 36, in part because of major cervical lesions (the prolapsed uterus was the deciding factor) So family history is NOT on my side this time.
