MY YEARLY EXAM- NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH

Yesterday 
My Hero and I had our annual physicals.
I don't know about you but I would rather go to the dentist
than the doctor.
At least I can keep my clothes on in the dentist's office.
Even if I happened to be  young and cute and the dentist was super handsome I would leave my clothes on...yes-I-would.

I go through all the normal procedures...
Vampires suck my blood out into a tube.
Then they put me through the mental torture test
by asking
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WEIGH?

I want to tell them that I weigh their IQ but then
they would think they were REALLY smart...
I mean like SUPER HUMAN SMART.

I am ushered into the 
NAKED ROOM.
There are things to look at here.
I want to reach in and squeeze the cotton balls
but I resist the temptation.
Nurse Jeannie (who is darling)
asks me 3,658 questions.
I answer NO to almost all of them...
except the one that asks me
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?

Finally, I get to see my Doctor,
Doctor Sabina Singh
I want to SING her praises.
(Sing-Singh-get it? They sound alike)
She is hands-down the best doctor I have EVER had.
She takes her time and really listens and 
asks questions.
If you are in the Green Bay area and looking 
for a doctor CALL HER.

Anyway,
She asks- Are you having trouble hearing?
I ask- WHAT?
She repeats: Are you having trouble hearing?
I ask again- WHAT?
She starts-Are you having......
Then she catches what I am doing and laughs.
I like a doctor that laughs.

She asks if I am having any pains.
I want to tell her "just the one I live with"
but behave myself instead.
Finally, it is time for 
THE GOWN
You know the ones-The ONE SIZE FITS ALL
and NEVER DOES
And, once you don the gown you 
lay down in submission.

I endure the pinch, poke, palpitate,
press, push routine with my
standard good humor.

I get two quick jabs and I am out the door.
My Hero is in the doctor's office just down the 
hall from me.
When we are both fully inspected
we meet in the lobby.

How'd it go? I ask.
Fine! He answers.
Did you giggle at any time? I ask.
Very funny! He answers.
I ask him if he REMEMBERED to tell the Doctor
that he was getting forgetful.
I am NOT getting forgetful! He grumps.

Hmmmm...
I guess an intruder came in  and fried up some
eggs (which someone said they disposed of)
AND  Hmmmmmm......
I guess the burner turned itself on and went
to take a nap.
My Hero says he will tell him "next time"
Liar-Liar- Pants on fire-

After this wonderful experience
I treat myself to a Starbucks!
All done!  Yep- all done!
Well, ALMOST all done. I do have
ONE MORE WONDERFUL TEST.
Guess I better get studying for my quiz!

I have a little boyo here today that is not feeling 
well.  Mama & Daddy are both working so he is
HANGING OUT WITH NANA.

I'll check in as I can today.
