I’m deferring the Brian McKnight/Boyz II Men concert post for something more eminent that just came up, and since this is a record of my life, I think it warrants recording.

I just received a call from my doctor’s nurse. Although all the blood test results came through online, the results of the pap smear haven’t been published yet. The nurse advised me gently to call another number and talk to a specific doctor, to make an appointment for a colposcopy. She said it doesn’t mean that something is abnormal, it’s just a more complete screening, beyond what the pap smear told them.

After calling the referral number, I spoke to the specialist there and found out more information. I do have an abnormal pap smear. I also tested positive for something else that is very upsetting to me, and as a result of the abnormalities they need to rule out cervical cancer. My colposcopy/biopsy appointment is set for October 1.

I suddenly don’t feel like working out today.
