to that nagging little voice that tells you that you might ought to shave your legs the morning before you trot off to your doctor’s appointment. Instead of doing what I did and think that he’s not the kind of doctor that should make you strip down to the paper gown and think “Nah! Who’s gonna see them?”
I mean, honestly, it’s winter. I wear pants or skirts with boots to work. I wear sweats at home, pajamas to bed. Even I don’t see my legs till the sun comes out! Well, a neurologist DOES make you put on the paper gown and there my Mo’nique legs were in all their glory. (I do NOT know how that woman does it!)
Of course, since I was mortified, I commented on how if I’d have known, I’d have shaved the legs. In his driest sense of humor, he said, “I don’t care. I don’t shave my legs either.” Haha!
Suffice it to say. . . I shaved the monsters this morning. A day late and a dollar short. Just thought everyone should be kept aprized of the national event.
Another nagging little thought. . . Why do I have a zit at nearly 50 years old? I thought wrinkles were the trade-off for those nasty, little buggars.
Just saying’.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI got asked to strip once when all I went in for was a sore throat. I refused. I mean honestly. If you really want to see me in a paper gown, I’m sure your imagination is just as good if not better than the real version your eyes would see. My throat is not anywhere near my nether regions, thank you little. Sometimes I think doctors just like to play their power plays, and making people wear a paper napkin over them is one of their tactics.
Never went to that doctor again, by golly.
Helloooooooooo!! indeedie I be back, and so it seems are you! YAY
i don’t think I have ever been asked to put on one of those paper things… no wait – once, but it was for xrays so that is understandable (my belly ring came up, it was pretty amusing) Happy happy to your sister, it seems you two must be getting along much better now, which is awesome, and isn’t a new car such a wonderful thing? i just got myself a new one as well – I know how happy it makes me
Huge love to you, i hope that the little man who needs a beating gets slapped around soon by someone with brains and foresight
One of our last clinical days this semester, there was a group of us standing at the Nurses Station talking to our instructor and she said something about shaving for a DR appt, and my friend and I (who have an unspoken WHO-CAN-GROW-MORE-LEG-HAIR competition going) started giggling and then just outright laughing. She looked all puzzled, so we each bared a bit of leg and she almost fell off her stool. She’s a right proper southern lady (but being an er nurse, she can outcurse a sailor) and she was SHOCKED!!! She said, “That’s it! I’m calling the Director of Nursing at the school and telling her ya’ll need a break. You don’t even have time to take proper care of yourselves!” That just got us laughing harder. She really doesn’t know what to make of us!
