Say Hello to My Little Friend "Mirena"

Had an appointment with the doctor today to have the Mirena IUD inserted. The doctor explained that it wouldn't take too long, "about twice as long as getting a Pap Smear", the only pain I would feel was a "little pressure", and a "bit of cramping". Holy crap. What the hell!

It hurt like a son of a bitch! Seriously I thought I might faint. At one point I considered telling the doc, mid procedure, to "take it out". "Take in all out".

I'm not a wimp, usually I tolorate pain very well, sometimes too well. But I would rather have another child come screaming through my body than to go through that "little procedure" again. I have no idea how this torture device is going to be removed in 5 years.

Son of a bitch!!

37:07

It's been a long time since my last post...where does the time go?

My Winter Running training program is over and I COMPLETED MY FIRST 5K RUN. My time, not that it matters, was 37:07 seconds. Not a great time, but my only goal was: 1) finish the run, 2) finish the run BEFORE the 72 year-old woman in our group, and 3) finish the race BEFORE the woman pushing twins in the stroller.

No, I'm not at all competitive!
