Can I get a little warning next time please thanks.

So I had my sonohysterogram today…but let me start from the beginning.

First I got caught in the torrential rain on my way to the appointment.  Started 30 seconds before I parked my car at the parking lot and ended sometime while my legs were still up in the stirrups.  Sun was out by the time I left the building (of course).

So now I’m soaked from the knees down, my shoes and purse which have never seen or felt rain are both soaked.  Thank the gods I had my umbrella with me.

Went in for my appointment, got in almost right away.  Dropped trow and legs up, the nice lady talking about the weather at the other end of table told me that she’d give me a warning when she was going to insert the saline solution, which she didn’t.  It went something like this:

Dr. *squeeze*

Me. “ouch!!”

Dr. “Ok that’s the first one” *pause* *squeeze*

Me. “Ahhrhg!?!”

Dr. “Ok you’ll feel a little more pain now, we’re almost done, *squeeze* just a little more”.

Me. *Eyes rolling back into my head, fists clenched, toes curling trying not to wimper, wanting to punch someone in the head*

Dr. “And we’re all done” That’s it!  That was a very short test wasn’t it?

Me: *in my head* ‘what, that wasn’t 12 years off my life there?’

Dr. “And you’ll never have to have this test again”

Me: *in my head* ‘Damn skippy.’

In the end she told me that my uterus looks “perfect”, “wonderful”, “in great shape”, basically all sunshine and roses.  On the plus side the only cramping I had was when she was squeezing the plunger to insert the solution.  Thank the gods for Advil.  No pain now.

Just the same, I wouldn’t want to do that one again either.
