Everytime I go to get blood drawn, I make a bet with myself about how many times I'll get stuck with the needle, because my veins are tiny and deep. It's fun (not).

"And then she gave me the horrifying news, that if you don�t have sex for a really really really realllll-lllly long time (why was she looking at me?), your vagina can atrophy" I suppose you didn't mention your relationship with BOB.

ATROPHY? Surely that's oestrogen-level related, not a simple case of underuse? Egads. We used to have a shearer's cook who claimed her girl-bits had "healed over" due to lack of recent meaningful action, but "atrophy" makes it sound like it's all shrinking and withering and drying out, with a view to eventually falling off. (Or out, or whatever it is those bits do. Or wherever they go.) Thank goddess you caught it in the nick of time, kitticakes! Love, R xxx

Also, I'm still sniggering like a 10-year-old boy over the "I felt a prick" line...that comes on the weekend, silly! x

Yeah, I hate it too, needles. When they draw blood from me I�m always scared I�m gonna faint. I can�t look there!

The only cool thing about is that you feel like a heroin user, you know, when they try to find a vene...

Um...I didn't know about atrophication. Perhaps in my alternate life on the bizzaro universe I can be the de-atrophier. Heh.

This is probably TMI but I swear to god, if I go for a few months without sex my virginity grows back. Yeah, we're full fledged virgins now. How exciting is that? Condoms are always a good idea. Even if you've got back up. I'm on the pill but I don't mention it. The fear of pregnancy will keep them from whining. "Well, if you want to take a chance, so how much a month do you take home?" And suddenly they have no problem with a condom. Fancy that.

No one has ever been able to make me laugh about doctor-type stuff and cup-peeing and all before, because I hate it all so much. But you did. Damn, you should be published! Oh, and I think BOBs do work against the vaginal atrophy thing : ).

Witty, I think my depression was due to Depo. BE CAREFUL!

I've heard depo causes depression as well. I had to stop getting it because I couldn't handle it.

I used to be a "medical assistant" which includes being a "certified phlebotomist" which basically means that I went to a class where we all drew blood off of each other. Tons o' fun. The only good that comes of that is that I know exactly which veins are good for the poking and I get to argue with them when they think they know better. I realize this doesn't help you at all. Also, I had a manicurist who was on Depo, and one time she totally FREAKED out on me because I was, literally, 4 minutes late. Again, this probably doesn't help you one bit considering you've already taken the shot..... please don't freak out on me, please don't freak out on me...

Oh my god, getting on the scale is the WORST. But what kills me is that they never actually voice the weight. They do that..."uhhh..right, ok" thing as it balances and scribble the total down, while I'm still trying to add the extra amount in my head. The most ironic thing is, every nurse I've been weighed by recently has been overweight (most more than me!). As is my doctor. They never mention the weight thing, interestingly enough. But my last doc in Houston ("normal" size) used to give me shit about it. Bastard! Oh hey, congrats on getting inducted into 12% Beer! You rock!

As a matter o' fact, we stopped at Britney's on the way...to wherever the hell we were going. It was some dumpy apartment, and I met her. We were having loads more fun...so it was seen as a victory. Ya know, in alternate universe dreamland.
