Sure, he can watch!

So funny things always seem to happen to me.  It wouldn't be funny if it happened to people with no sense of humor, but I realize shit happens, and sometimes it just makes me laugh.

Yesterday was my third insemination.  I arrived early with a full bladder.  They take me back to get prepared.  My normal nurse is not working my case, but she says hello.  The new nurse, who seems a little spacey, but super nice leads me to my room.  When she knocks to come back in, she asks if she can bring in a medical student to watch my procedure.  "Sure, no problem, bring them all in".  So in they come, along with my normal nurse.  Apparently my doctor is on vacation and this nurse is going to be doing the deed.  As I lay back, she is fumbling with the Speculum and she says, "I really don't like these things".  At this point, I already know it's not going to be smooth.  She proceeds to jam this thing into my lower region.  It's not a smooth process, and she takes a lot of skin with her.  She proclaims, " are you ok?"  "I'm so sorry.".  Does Dr. Hansen normally have this much difficulty?".  "No, I tell her, just you".  She then decides after several more unsuccessful jabs, that maybe she needs the smaller speculum.  She has to leave the room.  So I lay there, legs spread with, about a 19 year old guy, staring at my lady parts.  She returns with the smaller device and this one is much better.  After a few minutes of moving this thing around, she says "oh, your cervix is hiding from me".  Now, I didn't know that my cervix likes to play hide and seek, but yesterday, it was all about some fun.  I can tell she is nervous.  At least she tells the student to go get the PA.  So, she keeps this speculum in me, as we wait.  The PA walks in, takes it out, readjusts goes straight in, locks it in place and gets me inseminated in less than 3 minutes.  I love an experienced woman!   Thank goodness this is over! 

But this situation took me back several several years ago, to a yearly exam in Dallas.  That's why I find it funny, stuff happens to me all the time.  She gets me on the table, legs spread and speculum in place, only to realize that she doesn't have all the other supplies she needs.  She says "wait just one second, I'll be right back".  No problem I think.  After a few minutes, the door opens and I look over to see, a horrified gentlemen, who has opened the door to the wrong room!  He turns beet red and apologizes, I laugh and say no problem!  Sure, he can watch too, let them all in!!

Sure, I could have got mad, but what good would that serve me.  It's really not that big of a deal.  Shit happens people.  Learn to go with it, laugh with it!  It's so much more fun that way.
