I drove a half an hour, walked about four blocks, waited in the waiting room w/ butt jokes whizing by in my mind for an hour, was shown to a room and just told to sit and doc would be in, in a bit, and he came in and sat down and asked me what was wrong, and then he wanted to look at my butt!!! I said "no". What the he*l is wrong with me? I got to thinking ... I don't even look at my butt that often ... why should he get to? But, I mean, I have some int*stinal tract problems and need this medical treatment. But, I'm scared of it. Why? I'm not self-conscious or front-conscious, or any other kind of conscious, but butt. Is anyone else like me??? I laughed at myself all the way home, my hand scrambling in my purse trying to find either a pill or my chocolate, and I didn't find either one. But I'm home and I'm taking a Valium, and please share with me if anyone else has this butt-consciousness, because I feel embarrassed. I couldn't even follow what he was saying to me after he asked to look at my butt. I totally left the normal conversation zone. I need to rest in my corner w/ a Valium and settle down, and then will check back.

Umm? Why did T ask to see your butt?
I have pancake butt. I live in a community know for their gluteal superiority.
Well. we all have our challenges. I suppose some of us are gluteally challenged.
squats and lunges and jogging and such will only tone what the maker gave you. A bit firmer, a bit fuller, but... well. Some of us will always be challenged.
(((((((corafree)))))))
at least we can sit on it when we don't want people looking. not like the nose- hard to hide!

Okay, I know I'm a snailer mailer! I'm sorry!
IRL came at me w/ a new grandson (yippee!) and another ex-husband flew in with more of 'my emotional baggage' and, well, it just keeps coming! I can barely find respite in my corner!
The thing that was so funky about the colorectal appt is that I wasn't asked to, ya' know, undress from the waist down and put on a gown or anything.
He just came in and we were talking. I thought that was all we were going to do.
Then he said, "Well I can look at your butt right now and see", and I just couldn't stop myself from blurting out "No! Can't you figure out some radiographic imaging way of looking at my butt?!"
It was the face2face conversation that was going to go straight to face2butt that was so embarea*sing and freaked me out!
I think they should make a big square paper drape (like a ghost costume) that you could just put over your head, that would have a hole cut out for your butt!
I don't want to look at him (I'd rather look at the wall!) or talk to him when he's looking at my butt!
I had to ask him to repeat himself about 'the tests he was going to run' over and over, as the emotional trauma rendered me somewhat semi-buttconscious! He'd say something and then I'd slowly verbalize it right back to him like I was understanding it as I said it, but still w/ an inquisitive look on my face. Then I'd nod like I understood (It was an out-of-body experience by this time!), butt then I'd turn right around and ask him if he could repeat that one more time! LOL It was terrorbuttization! LOL
I don't think he'll forget my face, that's for sure. He probably doesn't even want to see my butt now!
He sort of took me by the shoulders and guided me towards this lady, 'the scheduler', who seemed to have been pre-alerted that I was 'in a state'. She said, "Just go do this, and we'll talk to you after that."
I'm taking a support person w/ me next time!
I'll have to talk w/ Phillipa about being less butt-conscious. Butt my sister's a nurse and she says that sometimes when you're under anesthesia, they laugh at your butt and stuff!
sorry, ;( cf
