Okay, so today, I went to my "girl doctor" and I won't go into specifics, because that's grody.
But the whole appointment I wasn't feeling great.
I haven't been in two years, and I needed a renewal on birth control.
I walk into the office, and was the only patient in there.
I was kinda annoyed with the staff before today, because I was called 3 times in the last month to change my appointment. On the 4th time they called, I complained that it was "unacceptable and unprofessional" to make me change my appointment 3 times, let alone a 4th!
They let me keep my appointment, but asked the name of the person who had called the 4th time.
I'll call her 'J' for the sake of privacy.
They told me on the phone call, that J would be made aware of my feelings and they apologized for her.
(Sidenote: I hate getting people in trouble, but I also should not have to come back from a week long cruise, to a telephone message telling me to change my appt for a 4th time).
So I walk into the office and hear the name J, after I signed in.
Guess what?!?? 'J' graduated from my high school with me and was actually standing next to me during graduation! What a surprise!
She also apologized to me in the office today.
I felt so awkward and bad.
We were both looking pretty humiliated.
Okay, now to my appointment:
Well, I passed out in the middle of it.
Like I remember being in those Gosh-awful stir-ups one minute, and waking up laying down with a cold water bottle behind my neck 30 mins later.
I was in my skivvies, so I changed, and walked out of the appointment room, and my doctor ran up to me telling me what had happened as I was paying 'J' the copay.
So then I left feeling super awkward, went to Starbucks to reward myself for, well, being me living through the humiliation.
And then bought some Junior Mints, because yeah, I needed some sugar.
If any of you had an awkward day today, please allow my story to turn your frown upside-down!
