Yeah, if mine wasn't as reputable as he is, I probably wouldn't have. It helps, considering the fact that he's on high alert with me. A bit over zealous about a cancer scare, this summer, but only because he'd lost my mom.

I am wondering if the woman, I'd had that manhandled me, when I was 17, nearly 18, wasn't a nurse practitioner.

Funny story, on the way to the gyn, when I was 16, my mom and stepdad, took me to one, for a regular check up. Mom was in the room, there I am, in stirrups and all and this elderly gyn, turns to my mom, and says, she looks just like her dad

It wasn't until, I was considering child bearing, that I entertained sharing the same one...

I probably wouldn't have, otherwise.
Thanks for this!
