Well Woman Exam
Today I had my “well woman” doctor visit- a pap smear and cultures. I also got my Depo shot. It was not fun. I had to wait for over an hour for the doctor to come, and then I had to wait a while in the room once they called me. The exam itself was really painful. I haven't been having a lot of sex, so the speculum they used was too big. I don't know if they had a smaller one, but I was in pain and let them know. Luckily it was over quickly. I also got my shot which means 3 more months of no periods! Yay! The shot doesn't hurt much since they do it on your lower back. I much prefer the lower back to the arm. When they do the shot in the arm, it feels like someone has punched you for a week or so. It's not fun. I don't like getting shots in the arm. Although when I got a Thorazine shot in the hospital for a migraine, I'm glad they did it on my arm. It swelled up and started changing colors, something I might not have noticed if it was on my back.
I also went to Target today to pick up Geo's prescriptions. I also got some things for me... protein shakes and bug spray. I don't have a ton of extra money this month, so the rest of the fun shopping will have to take place next month. I don't like living check to check. At least I have some sort of health insurance in case of an emergency. I was thinking about going into the walk in clinic on Friday to see what's going on with this dizziness. I just don't want it to be something bad that I'm missing. I know I don't have a bad infection since I don't have a fever.. I don't know what's going on. I might have an infection in my jaw.. when I see the dentist next week I will ask.
Mood today was good.. I was patient when I saw the doctor and for the bus. I managed to get the bus back to back on my way home, which was good. I just had to walk a bit, but that's good for me. Tomorrow I go see my therapist, and I hope that goes well. I don't know what I'm going to talk to her about, but I will figure something out. Food today was good... I had chicken Tiki Masala (Indian food) for dinner, rice for lunch and cereal for breakfast. Overall it was a pretty good day!

Oh how I hate waiting! I go bonkers and yes like you get in a bad mood! Did you make the Tiki Masala from a recipe or was it a packaged meal? Sounds interesting.
the waiting, it is miserable and to wait when they stick you in a tiny room is worse! good thing you got the stuff done though, you are doing the right thing. i need to go and keep putting it off. the dinner does sound interesting, have you had it before?
