Ok, yesterday I had an appointment with the Gyno. I still have a couple female parts so they have to be check out. I was filling out the generic form they have.
First question was the date of your last period? easy 9/2010 because I was diagnosed 10/2010. Before I was so irregular I never knew the answer and I had had my tubes tied so I didn't care.
The next question I had to chuckle:
Are you pregnant? well, I have no ovaries so probably not.
The next one had me rolling:
Are you breast feeding? well, I have no breasts, so no.


Sorry, I knew you guys would find the humor. The MA wasn't that impressed with the irony.

    just picture you sitting there with the little clipboard they give you and you're reading the questions and your mind clogs with all the sarcastic responses that pop into your head:)

    Funny!

    So funny
    I just had the same situation at an appointment this week! I really felt like writing some silly answers but didn't think that was probably the right thing to do. Did make me feel good to be able to laugh about the whole thing tho!

    Do you still get the
    Do you still get the automated mammo reminders too? It took my MA about 5 tries to get them turned off...in a kind of sadistic way I got a little bit of enjoyment in responding 'but I have no breasts' and then watching the reaction....shame on me!
