So I’ll be meeting the consultant, very nervous. To find out the results of tests and how I’ve healed etc.
I’m extremely worried about receiving bad news.
My consultant is male (haven’t met) and when in hospital I had such a hard time with the physical examination.
I know it’s their job and they’re just looking at the particular thing and in no way am I using this as an excuse but I was assaulted and seem to freeze and really go into myself with panic when I was about to be examined and definitely felt more comfortable around a woman. I’m so embarrassed about this and didn’t make a scene at the time and felt so guilty about even being scared of other men who were only trying to help me.
So anyway, I’m trying to be positive. I am positive. I have my very best friend coming to the appointment with me and me and my family have made light of the op itself and it’s been great.
So I’m just focusing on other things.
Do you have any tips on how I can relax about the examination?
Do you think I should trim? I hate the thought of hair being an issue to see!
Sorry if this has put a downer on your day reading this I’m really trying to keep it ‘light’
