I got a funny letter in the mail today!

I love getting the mail!! I have always sat by my window waiting until the mail man came and then ran to my mailbox. I don't know why but I love getting something in a little box that is a surprise...may be that's what it is. Now usually my mail box is full but lately not so much...
Today though I got the funniest letter in the mail...well I hope you find it funny too...
So in Canada they have this program that they send a letter to you to remind you to go for your yearly...you know...But I really didn't need the reminder because here you can't get your prescription for your birth control renewed unless you have the yearly 'tests' done.
I have never been a fan of these...and I am sure you will all agree with me...especially the men...(cough) LOL...I guess it could be worse for us women. But I digress...so here's what the letter says.
"PAP tests can prevent almost all cervical cancer by finding changes in the cells on your cervix early enough to be treated and cured.
Our records indicate that your last PAP test was more than 12 months ago..."
Okay, but this is where it is funny...I HAVE NO CERVIX!!! I looked all over the place for the number so I could call them and tell them to stop sending them to me... but I couldn't. So now every time I read this letter it is going to say...do you want cervical cancer?? If not get your butt to the doc's...I can't handle the pressure.
Will I tell them or will you??? LOL

We too in Oz have that reminder letter, well from memory we did. I was removed from the list when I had my Hysto.
I was warned of the chance of having abnormal cells appear in my test done at the time of my Hysto. If there were I would have to have a yearly "Vaginal Vault" test.
Now, to tell the truth, I think that is a pretty cool name for a test. Straight and to the point.
My tests returned clear and have not had to have ANY tests since Dec 2003 - Woo Hoo !
