The Facecloth.
This was sent to me by a friend and has to be read.
There is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this!
I was due for a cancer smear with the doctor later in the week.
Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am . I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pyjamas, wet the face cloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the facecloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.
Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when thedoctor said, 'My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?'
I didn't respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.
The restof the day was normal - some shopping, cleaning, & cooking.After school when my 7 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, 'Mummy, where's my facecloth?'
I told her to get another one from the cupboard.She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all myglitter saved inside it.'
NEVER going back to that doctor ever!!

Hummm, sparkly stuff, huh! If that happened to me, my DR would get a big charge out of it. That is why I go to the female nurse practitioner.

I guess I've learned a thing or two from this post which I did not need to know!

I knew it wasn't you - read it some time ago - but I didn't remember the ending, so it was fun to read again.
What women go through!
