I went to a new Ob/Gyn recommended by a co-worker. Its at a convenient area, across the street from work.  Just the thought of the yearly “spreadyourlegs” (*blushing* LOL ) appointment can be uncomfortable.

Last week it was open wide for the dentist. This week open wide for da OB/Gyn. I swear the things we do for health care. Which do you like betta dentist or OB/Gyn? hehehe

I go to my appointment. They put me in a room and tell me to put on their latest fashion. Ahyuh, its a two piece. I ain’t never had one of these. Always been the open air okole hanging out gown, you know.

The top covers only waist up, open in the back of course. The bottom is just one sheet. Kinda small sheet. I’m holding it up looking at it and looking at me. Fashionista that I am, I wrap da paper sheet around me and tie it on da side; pareau/lavalava style. I sit down wait for da Dr.

She walks in looks at me in my latest fashion and says; “thats not how you put that on you know.”

“There’s no instructions!” We are just cracking up.

“This is my first time here.”

“So you are a virgin?”

“Mock virgin, in white no less. You guys should get these in pink or lavendar, aloha print would be cool.”  We are just cracking up.

She starts to do her thing. Asking me all the historic healthy & unhealthy issues. She’s all up in my business doing her ob/gyn-ing and she says “is it hot in here?”

“We’re both hot flashing.”

“Thank you for your confidence.”

We are just cracking up. Finally I just had to ask.

“Are you Phillipino?” She has a slight accent, flat nose & an Italian name.

“Yes are you, I thought you from Hawaii.”

“Yes, my Mom is from Kauai, but my Dad is Cebuanon.” (as in from Cebu)

She talks to me in Tagalog and I tell her the village my Dad is from. Thats the only thing I understood that she asked me. She says so you don’t speak Tagalog. “No but I understand if you tell me its time to eat.” We’re cracking up.

She’s finishing up being all in my business because thats her business LOL and she tells me the latest research and literature says you are not totally menopausal till after 5-10 year of no menses.

“SHUTTUPP, I thought it was just 1 year no rags and you’re done. In that 5-10 years I still could get pregnant?!”

“Yes! I would kill myself if I got pregnant after 50.” We’re just cracking up.

She starts to give me her planned parenthood spiel.

“Why you telling me this I ain’t having no kids?”

“You  & your partner should use protection because it is still possible for you to become pregnant.” 

I’m just laughing and she is too. It was too funny.*L*
