So I went to see the plumber today. You know, as Archie would say, the groinecologist? [I never found All In The Family funny. Even as a child, I never found bigotry (even bigotry that was being lampooned) amusing.] Got to have a new kind of Pap smear, which cost me fifty bucks (paid gladly, though grudgingly) because it's not yet covered by insurance, and prompted another discussion between me and a health care professional (Chris, my doctor's very cool assistant) about inequity in women's health care coverage. How much does it piss me off to shell out thirty-seven bucks a month for my pills? While crap like Viagra's covered? [Ladies, take a gander at Covermypills.com. Good idea, eh? And I think I just found a new button for the bottom of this page.]

Anyhoo, I was describing the new Pap to The Huz, because if you can't share TMI goodness with your significant other, who can you share it with? I did warn him, though, and he braved it and wasn't grossed out. I suppose because what he can't see won't hurt him. I mean, ever try to visualize your cervix? I wouldn't know where to begin.

So they wash your cervix with this liquid, and then use a tiny disposable blue light to view it, and the liquid makes any areas with abnormal cells glow under the light. And all I could think, after way too many years of Unsolved Mysteries and Law & Order reruns was "Luminol! Black light! Blood spray patterns!"

My exam was normal, but I had Chris take a closer look at my urine (hey, she's a professional) in light of the kidney aching. Came back with traces of blood, which my doctor said I had last time too, so it's off to the urologist I go. Maybe they'll ultrasound the kidney to see if it's doing anything weird. Maybe I'll make these damn appointments and take advantage of the upcoming holidays and get all this stuff taken care of. And a tooth cleaning with my friend and dentist extraordinaire, Dr. Joe. And throw in a baseline mammogram for good measure. Hoo boy, can't wait for that one!

But now to bed.
