Shirely, you did miss a little story, but not a fun one.

The "Place Mat Incident" referred to the trip to the gynocologist,
where instead of a johnny, the nurse told me to undress and wrap
myself in "the drape." The only problem was that said drape was
about the size of a place mat and barely covered my privates, much
less anything else.

I was freezing to death in a room for a half hour, wearing a piece of
paper towel and nothing else. It's hard to shake hands in a
dignified manner when clutching a piece of paper over your 'nads, and
your boobs swinging free in the wind. I couldn't believe that this
was their usual practice: most places give you a johnny or robe or
somethng.

On the advice of the wonderful folks here, I got a two yard piece of
polarfleece for all future doctor visits. Joann's fabric had some
colors half price: I got a 59" x 72" piece for $6.99. It's
charcoal, but I don't really care. It will keep me decently covered
and warm. If I get tired of the charcoal, I'll applique some colors
onto it in a cheery fashion. It's going into my "appointment bag,"
along with a book, a notepad and a pen.

I'm sitting here stunned. I can't believe that they only gave you something
that small to wear in a very personal meeting with a doc. I hate those
appointments but I think I would have walked on that one. There is no way I
would feel comfortable enough to put my feet in stirrups and show all my
glory. Nuh uh.

I'm glad you got your fleece but I still feel you shouldn't have to use
that. I have bought quite a bit of the cutesy fleece for Trinkett to use as
blankets around the house and they are life savers for her.

I'm goin' to Joann's in the morning...I must have a fleece for my next
appointment in hell...I mean at the doctor's office. Too bad you had to
suffer that indignity, but not anymore! Good plan Kathy, I too shall have an
appointment bag with a nice warm fleecy wrap.

Hmm


I bought a wonderful fleece throw at TARGET in July - while I was in Columbus
for the bar exam.

Had absolutely NO use for it- but loved the colors (wonderful purples, pinks
etc)

now I KNOW why I bought it....
it's going to the DR office with me for my
annual check up!!!!

Thanks for the brilliant idea--
now why in hell haven't we women thought of taking our own warm blanket to
those damned visits???

bet it will freak them out -- me covered up in my brightly covered blankie !
LOL

I always did feel that gynecologist were a little bit fishy. Sorry you had
to go through all that. I found some nice Placemats.

could. That's so sad!!!!
