Taking a little break from what is turning into a weeklong celebration of rummage sale finds, I offer this bit of conversation from my yearly gyn exam:
Nurse: Your blood pressure is a little high. Were you just running around?
Me: No, but I'm kind of nervous about the exam.
Nurse: Oh, do you have "White Coat Syndrome?"
Me: No, but I think I may have "Someone's About To Stick a Little Wooden Spatula Up My Ya-Ya Syndrome."
Have a great day, ladies! More rummage sale finds tomorrow...

Oh that is just so true.
ReplyDeleteWhen I go to even just the Doctors my blood pressure is always up cos I'm nervous. I just tell them let me sit a few minutes and it will be normal and it is.
Blood pressure and being nervous - not a great combination.
At least it is over for another year. Yay!!!!
Love that rose

lol, amen. I hate those exams!
ReplyDeleteOh Mary, you really gave me a chuckle this morning. Men just must have a big void in their lives. After all, they just don't have the way of bonding that we women do. Good things and not so good things - we bond.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm heading there next week, and i already feel a slight clenching sensation. Everywhere.
ReplyDeleteJust a minute.....I have to run for some paper towels to clean up the coffee I just spit out!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou're the best Mary! ((hugs)) Rosie
Ha! Thanks for the laugh to start out my day! Just had a very similar conversation last month! My Dr. is about to retire, I'm not looking forward to next year when the new Dr. is.....my son's age!
ReplyDeleteHmm...I don't enjoy that kind of yearly rummaging either! But necessary--your take? Funny!!

I am doing a giveaway for my 100th post, stop in!
lol, me too! I hate those appointments. it's not easy being a women!!!! Enjoy the day, Janie
ReplyDeleteFunny - I had my exam yesterday too. Better to have it than not to... still got the awful mammogram to go through...but you gotta do it... Lovely roses... I can't wait till spring arrives in the U.P. of Michigan.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOO, I just HATE those damn exams, Mary ! And, it is just nearly time for MINE....oh, SHOOT !!
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE SO FUNNY, GIRLFRIEND...I laughed with YA-YA.....
hugs, bj
HA! How true! Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Amanda:)
So true, thanks for the great laugh this morning.
ReplyDeleteStill chuckling!!

ha! I am actually pretty good friends with my gyn, (he delivered my last two children..) he knows more about my body then either my hubby or I would ever care to know!
ReplyDeleteHe also has 6 children with two more 'planned'. I guess some people are part of the 'yaya' sisterhood from the get go. My son had his first 'turn and cough' this year. It really was quite humorous. Poor little guy.

ROFL! Ahhhh, Mary, specificity is the thing!
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh out loud this morning. Spit coffee across my screen as well. I had rather have the wooden spatula as the garage door closing over my "twins" anyday though.
ReplyDeleteI am very prudish when people spout off names of body parts, but I just cannot hear the word "ya-ya" too often.
ReplyDeleteAnd my husband refers to the mammogram (quite accurately, I must say) as the "orange-juicer".
Oh, I love the last line of your conversation. If you don't mine, I'm going to remember that and use at an appropriate time!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteWith hopes for another high-risk pregnancy coming up soon, I need to keep this kind of thing in the back of my mind when I go for the fourth such appointment in four weeks. On the bright side, you barely notice at that point!

I hate the wooden stick too. Strep throat tests are the WORST. and GYN exams are terrible too. Just think, now it's a whole year till your next one. YEAH!
ReplyDeleteMary, I had to go back & catch up to see what I've missed. I'm SO behind visiting my favorite friends, but Oh my you got some great things out thrifting. Isn't is so much fun?? Love all your flower things & had to laugh & ask, where will you put them all, since I know your house has to be full too....like mine! I ask myself that all the time when I pick up something else. Where will I put it??
ReplyDeleteOh, how funny that conversation at your Dr.'s. I just went last month for all that too & never look forward to it. At least it's only once a year!
xo,
Rhoda
LOL Mary too funny.mine is coming up. I always do it around my birthday, just so I remember and a few years back I changed to a female Doctor, she is the BEST !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
Kathy :)
if i knew how to spell loud, from the gut laughter that is all this comment would be. thank you so much for the good laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, so true, so true!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary, this was funny!! This picture, by the way, is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I received a letter, yes a letter, from my GYN of 31 years ending it all....after everything we have been through she decides to close her practice and all I get is a letter. I just thought...oh well, you know how I feel. Your humor tickled my funny bone. Thanks for great timing. Patty Ann
ReplyDeleteOh Mary, you are too funny! I had never heard of the "garage door closing over the twins" or the "orange juicer" So true, and funny! I wish men had to put their "parts" under the "garage door too!
ReplyDeleteYou could almost *smell* that rose! What a beautiful flower.
ReplyDeleteI hope the nurse laughed with you! I sure did :)
My turn tomorrow morning...sigh.....
ReplyDeleteAnd here I though YaYa meant sister friend.......
LOL! Thanks for the laugh Mary!.......going off now to get a cloth to wipe the splattered coffee from my computer screen.....lol
ReplyDeleteAmanda (aka Cottage Contessa)
Ooooh my lord...can I relate! I have white coat too...but I like your answer better hee hee...I'll have to remember that one! Thanks for the giggle :) ~ xoxo Joy
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard at this! So true! The last time I had one of "those" exams, I said something about not liking them, and my doctor, also a woman, said "I'd be a little worried about your mental health if you did!" There's a reason I just love my doctor!
ReplyDeleteI have two blog awards I would like to pass on to you! If you'd like to accept them, just go to my post for today and pick them up! I really enjoy your blog.
haaa! Now it's my turn to ROFL!! I know, I just HATE those appointments! :) Take care. ~ Laurie
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I am laughing like crazy and just think you are the best thing. You have one of the best senses of humor...ever!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Sue
Does your doc seriously use a wooden spatula? Cause that is just wrong!
ReplyDeleteLOL Mary! In my family we have always called it a tootie. Funny thing is Annie met a new friend and her nickname is tootie LOL So now we have had to change it to who hah LOLOL
ReplyDeleteI hate going there! ick
