"I was trying to think of something"

I love Johnny but he can be such a typical guy. Which is a good thing I guess but every once in awhile I need him to be a little more sensitive than what comes naturally to him.

I had my annual lady exam last week and my doctor left a message for me this morning to tell me that my pap was mildly abnormal. I've never had anything like this happen to me. Actually I've never really had any problems or illnesses besides the typical colds. So I'm a little freaked out. I have to have a colposcopy which is when the doctor looks at your cervix with a microscope and possible takes a biopsy of tissue if things don't look good. My doctor didn't think it was anything to worry about and she didn't even think I needed to rush to have this procedure done. "Just in the next 6-8 weeks" she said. Well the procedure is scheduled for Friday, March 13 (kinda unlucky huh?).

When I told Johnny about it he was just silent. I told him that I was kinda freaked out about it and here is how our conversation went:
June: I'm a little freaked out about it.
Silence
More Silence
June: This is when you are supposed to say something comforting.
Johnny: I was trying to think of something.
June: How about 'It'll be fine.' Or 'I'm sure it's nothing. Don't worry baby.'
Johnny: Well yeah, I'm sure it's fine. You said your doctor didn't sound worried.
June: Well that is what doctors are supposed to do. They don't want to get you all freaked out before they know for sure what is going on.
Silence
More Silence
Even More Silence
June: Ok well I've gotta get back to work.
Johnny: Ok, I'll talk to you later.

Wow! Good thing I have friends!!! At least my best girlfriend was able to comfort me since she knows two women who have had this done in the last 4 months. I guess I can give Johnny a pass on this one since he is uber-queasy about female issues.
