She was in such a hurry to get into her appointment at the doctor that she forgot her phone in the car.
Now she was stuck waiting around without distraction. She pulled out a pen and started writing everything that was happening as a way to distract her.
- Nothing like forgetting your phone when you have a 2 hour doctor's appointment.
- That is pretty stressful, and you could use a distraction.
- I could be shopping for shoes online, but instead I'm writing on the back of a $200 receipt. All because I like to keep my phone in my cup holder. Cool cool
- They've called two "Samantha's" and and two "Julia's" and the wrong one always stands up first. There has to be a psychological reason behind that.
- Aaand there goes the 3rd Samantha.
- Ultrasound @9, IUD Insert at 10:20. This is the worst day to have bad gas but here we are.
- There are 3 sections of the waiting area at the OBGYN: With Kids, without kids, and the Undecideds. It's this wacky Woman's Only West Side Story.
- The Have-Nots hate that the Have's children break the silence of the waiting room.
- They still have their Xmas tree up. Ugh.
- 9;39 am: Ultrasound done. Waiting to see if they can get me in for the IUD sooner. The tech was super chatty and nice and her energy put me at ease. It was kinda cool to see my uterus. It looks really small.
- All they have in this waiting room is parenting mags. Ugh.
- And parents. And one Have-Not refuses to move from her middle seat so a family can't sit together.
- 9:48 am: My blood pressure is "faint" and I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
- Here we go...
The procedure was not pleasant, and she actually exclaimed "ouchie" at one point, but in about 45 seconds it was over.
On the way home, the cramps started, and continued for the next 40 days.
