I'm sure there are better and less painful ways to keep one's mind off drinking, but this is how I did it this morning. I had a pap, an endometrial biopsy, was prescribed hormone replacement, had a tetanus shot and flu shot and a mammogram. Wasn't thinking about drinking at all.

At least I am finding humor in this. I was beginning to wonder if I had forgotten how to smile.

I'm not at all envious of your morning!

Actually, that sounds like much more fun that some of the mornings I spent in hangover hell.

Including the pap. And the smushed pancake girls...

I am going to have blood work done tomorrow.... yay.. NOT

Lol sounds like 'fun' was had! On a positive spin at least you are addressing your health

Wow...sounds like an awesome day! That reminds me...I am way overdue for a mammo and I need a flu shot, too.

Mountainmanbob

you did real well
if they did all of those things to me in one morning
I would get drunk on the way home
I would be very upset with myself
wondering how I wandered into the women's clinic

^^^Fantastic!

Too mutch, it's never fun to go in for our yearly maintenance but it's a necessary evil. And like AO said, I think there were days when I was so hungover I might have traded to make the hangover go away.

Maybe.

You're doing awesome and so good to see your humor is still intact!

I am ovedue for a mammo too! Thanks for the reminder, lol.

Over here, there is nothing like gum graft surgery gone very wrong to also help with sobriety. Ask me how I know.

You sound in better spirits. I am glad.

Being male I do not think your plan is going to work too well for me. I will admit that I never thought about drinking when I was having prostate exam

Nuudawn

Hilarious thread. Crikey cold speculum up the hoo hoo followed by boob squishing. Lovely morning.

Love your 'tude TM.

Mountainman and Wakko - Both you posts cracked me up. I'm sure this was an unusual thread for a man to come across.

Hevyn

Yeah - you can keep your morning TM. Happy to 'see' you smiling!

jesternudder

You have my sympathy but what a funny post! I'm glad you think it's funny too.
I've often wondered about the old hormone imbalance issue and if it has any link to the compulsion to drink. Then I remember I've been drinking since I was in my 20s. Anyway, congrats on getting all that "fun stuff" out of the way all on one day!

Well, may I add to your list? Yesterday I had my first Colonoscopy!! The fun actually begins the day before when you can't eat. Then drinking the Coytle ( not sure of spelling) EVERY 10 minutes for the next 1 1/2 to 2 hours...I kept giggling in my 8 oz glass. OF course, we all know what's next...a memory to last a lifetime. . But, you are absolutely correct...no thoughts of drinking. In my case, I didn't even want a glass of water. Oh ya, I'm good to go...pun intended...and the Doc says I can do it all again in 10 years...BObbi

Thats rough!

Bobbie, not sure if the spelling but I think it's Golytley, and I know it's pronounced "go lightly."

Too funny/icky!

Sorry about the day, glad to see you posting with some humor about it.

peanut44

I guess that's one way to do it!! Didn't the biopsy hurt??

Ouch!!!!!!

Whatever it takes to keep you sober

I have never had a problem with a flu shot before. This time however, my arm is swollen and the muscles hurt even into my shoulder and upper back. Anyone else ever experienced this?
