rn, pamy your post just made my blood boil. dh has been going to doc for almost a year...w/no answers. it makes me sick that a doc didn't explain the results to you. that's why i don't go get exams i should get. horrible! i'm sending you a big hug and hope you don't worry too much. just find out what is going on! eta: don't get scared by what you find on your own google search. make a doc tell you! that's what he is trained to know!

Right now ... and you said "detected" not "confirmed". I can't believe your doctor didn't tell you more .. how unfair. Like Abby said try not to worry too much until you find out what's really going on. Hugs!

in the letter it says reck in 6mo to see if still there or if body destroyed them....so he must not think too serious. I don't have any of the symptoms it said so hopefully it's just an abnormal pap and next one will be fine.

Right now ... if it was there, they would have you in immediately. How unfair to alarm you! Sounds like just an abnormal pap. Abby, yearly paps are important. Even if we have to deal with insensative doctors, we do need to look out for our own health.

i agree vaca, and i'm the first to tell everyone i love/know to be responsible for their health w/check-ups/etc. however, i am not one to follow my own advice. i do know better though...but, that's just how i deal w/certain areas of my personal life. i am living a wonderful life...so, at this moment, that's what is important to me.

RN, Pamy ... that link said
quote:Approximately 20 million people are currently infected with HPV. At least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. By age 50, at least 80 percent of women will have acquired genital HPV infection. About 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.
So it is awfully common, 80% of us have it by age 50! I agree, so often doctors are just clueless, giving out sketchy information. I had one have his staff call and make an appt saying he wanted to recheck something from my mammogram! I freaked for days and it turned out he just wanted to confirm something WASN'T there.. I read them the riot act and they changed their phone call style and would leave messages saying, "call Dr Halleen about a NON-URGENT matter". I think HPV can lie dormant for a long time, sort of like the herpes that causes chicken pox.. all of us who had CP carry it but we won't all get shingles later.

Rn that's kinda funny (not in a ha ha way) Sea about the dr's office changing their phone call style. I was just gripping about the school last week to Darren and will once again go in and complain to the school nurse about this. Because Dakota has an inhaler that stays at school plus the dr's note to use it as needed we get a letter home towards the end of every school year reminding us that we need to pick the inhaler up and a sheet for the dr to fill out for the next school year. This is our third year doing this, I should know when she comes home at the begining of June with this envelope what it is but every single time I see it my heart leaps to my throat and I wonder, "what now?" The envelope is always addressed the same way, To the Parents of Dakota, From the Health Office. This is the same envelope we get when they've had a vision or hearing screening and they think something is wrong and you need to go see your pediatrician or they've had some kind of contagious disease (head lice, pink eye, strep throat) spread through a class. Everytime I go in to get her meds I complain to the nurse about the way the letter and form comes home! They should use a different colored envelope or write medication information inside on the outside of the envelope so I'm (and other parents) aren't dreading opening this letter and finding out we need to rush to the doctor for something or other! I'm not sure why seeing that damn envelope always leaves me thinking something is wrong, especially after a few years when I should know what it is.

RN, I just want to say that there is a vaccine available against HPV, and a group with power in washington won't let it out because they think it will lead to promiscuity! Hello! Some forms of HPV can also lead to cancer and they're worried about promiscuity!? Be well, sweet Pamy. HPV is very common and it's probably nothing.

RN, Good Monday morning, Nic! And rn, at 1 p.m., I will be getting picked up at home by Enterprise (rental car company nearby). Insurance will pay $16 per day on the compact that runs $24.72 here. Got a doc appointment at 3:30, so I can laze a bit before getting ready for outside eyes!

RN: My heart is just breaking for my big sis. She and her boyfriend decided to live a part, thinking it would be better for their relationship. She moved out about a month ago. She went by his house last night to pick up something for me and he had another girl there. She was just a wreck last night and let go of all her self respect, begged him not to do what he was doing......*sigh*

RN, I'm feeling terribly guilty being home alone without ButterTot. She went to Toddler Camp for the first time today. I signed her up because she's such a social little thing, and I'm worried she gets bored hanging with me all the time. I know being independent and playing with other little kidlets are good things, but, OH, I MISS HER

RN Butter, may I suggest instead of feeling guilty (hehe, I know that's not gonna happen!) focus on the fact that not only is she safe, having fun and making friends but you have some time to yourself. Call it a me day and go do something for yourself you haven't been able to do a lot of lately. Have your nails done, call a friend for lunch, sit down in your favorite spot and read a book. I'm a big believer in having a little time away from your kidlets cuz when they come back you have a new appreciation of just how great it is having them around. Hehe, said completely sympathatically, get used to that guilt, it's not going away! It's there the first time you send them off to school alone, the first time you leave out of town without them, and the first time you send them to school only to get a call from the nurse 20 minutes later asking you to come pick them up cuz they're so sick they can barely lift their head up. Yep, it never goes away. And just think, the first time you pick her up and see her having a great time, you'll be so happy you sent her.

RN,Butter, War is so right about everything she said. And if ButterTot is an only child, you are really doing the right thing by helping her to learn social skills. I just sent my son off for the week with my parents and I felt bad the minute they drove away. But I also know that I need some "me" time. Then he's going to his dad's as soon as he gets back. I already told my boss today that I will probably take the day off on Friday so I can meet them in Arkansas for our family reunion. That way I can spend some time with Travis before he's gone again. RN, I'm feeling guilty right now because I can't wait to get home this evening and do absolutely nothing but play with my new laptop without interference. Well, except for calling Travis to tell him goodnight.

RN, thank you ladies! I read War's post just before I went to pick her up, so when I got in the car I turned on and enjoyed my own music and managed not to speed...heh.. Right then, ButterTot's report sheet said she only had a few 'transitional' tears and did very well for a 1st timer. She also ate most of her lunch. But the best part was the BIG hug I got when I picked her up RN, she is sound asleep, I am more relaxed and I think we will try this again. Seems it was harder on me than on her RN, NT--enjoy your new laptop. I might pick your brain about it at some point. I am supposed to pick out a new one too, but I'm dragging my feet.

RN, I'm so mad I could spit! The little juvenile delinquent neighbor boys were shooting their bb gun at the "forsale" sign at the house across the street, proceeded to try to get into the house, went around back and came back carrying the 7 foot flag pole along with the American flag! They took it over to their backyard and are now flying it proudly? I guess if you steal it, everythings all right. arrrrrrrrgh

Rn, Always, call the police. If nothing is done now, what might they do next time? It could be your house.
