A Job Well Done.
Warning to the men — this post will be a little… err… womanly.
I had my annual “woman” exam in early July. (After having my first abnormal pap scare 2 years ago, this time of the year is always dreaded.) So, two months passed by and I still hadn’t gotten my results. Keep in mind that, for a woman, this isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, at the clinic I go to, they always tell me No news is good news! Still, a confirmation would have been a relief considering 2 years ago really still feels like yesterday.
I got my results yesterday via postal mail. Also a good thing for women — it’s the phone call that comes with bad news! I opened the envelope and I read:
Pap Smear Date: 7/7/08 Normal
At the bottom of the page is a personal note from my doctor:
Repeat in 1 year. Good job!
Good job? Really? I didn’t realize I’d really done anything worth praising. It’s basically an award for having good personal hygiene, I guess. I’m down with it.
On that note, Perez Hilton wrote his debut song on a similar subject. It’s quite funny! Bravo, Perez. I look forward to the next one. (NOTE: My abnormal pap 2 years ago was NOT tied to the CLAP. Haha!)
