Rainy days and dark hearts
Today has been a good day so far. Work was, well.... Work. It went really slow and was quite uneventful. Glad it was over.
I'm just sitting here now waiting for my honey pie to come over. Going to make a batch of chili, some corn bread and build a fire. Setting the perfect mood for snuggling.
Warm fire and chili farts.
I have my annual check up tomorrow. Combined with having those pre-cancerous cells checked out. Still think I am going to get my IUD taken out so I can just have it all taken care of. Will talk to Doc about that. Did decide that I want a new IUD in it's place. Seems to work well for me.
I have the urge to vent about my roommate, but I think I need to hold out for now. I'm still too mad at her. Tried to get out of the whole road trip deal using the whole "I'm broke" excuse. She's going to cover the cost I think. Who knows. May help us out some.

I am going through the exact same thing with the atypical squamous cells (pre-cancerous cells on my cervix cause by a form of HPV). I had to go for Paps every four months until the cells diasppeared. I had two clear Pap tests in a row. Unfortunatly for me, they came back witha vengence. My OB?GYN thought that they were just low-grade atypical this time but he wanted to do a colposcopy just to make sure. This was in July. I got the results right before I left for vacation and found out that they are high-grade rather than low-grade, essentially one step from being early stage cancer. I am having a LEEP procedure done (where they cauterize and remove the bad cells) in September. It isn't painful but I can expect spotting and I can't have sex for a month.
My doctor did say that I am like the poster child example for why they do all this follow-up testing - to catch these things before they turn to cancer. Unfortunately, this will most likely become a life-long health issue. I cannot tell you how important it is for you to get regular Paps and follow your doctor's advice.
Lots of luck!

Hey I've been reading this blog where this girl is just getting ready to go through her LEEP. From what I understand she is getting a little anxious about it. Maybe you can offer her some words of encouragement?
