I Graduated!!

  I didn't even know it was a thing.  It wasn't until I was on the table that I learned that should I pass this test, I could be free from pap smears for THE REST OF MY LIFE! *  Had I that knowledge ahead of time, I might have studied for this test.  But no - they sprang that challenge on me as I was strapping in, stirrups on, for the examination.  That was Tuesday.  I got the result on Friday...   I'm not sure why this isn't a recognized Hallmark moment, but at least my gynecologist was thoughtful enough to send me a hand-made congratulations card.  Woohoo!! I am so thankful as with age the pap smear has become even more painful than the mammogram.   * I am free unless I decide to become sexually promiscuous.  That, at this time, is not on my bingo card.
