I promised a post of my visit with Dr. Le Pew. The visit was fine. He asked me about my French. I shrugged the question off -- I don't even try to ruin the French language. He made a joke. I can't recall what the joke was now but I remember laughing, and my laughter felt genuine, not the usual nervous, gynecological-doctor-visit-fake laughter. I had to wait for him for over an hour, undressed "from the waist down," sitting on the too small exam table. He had to tell the patient right before me that she had cancer.
The most important thing was that while he was searching he didn't find anything. Though I don't expect him to find anything. If he found something, you'd probably hear me yelling. Or maybe I'd be calm? Hopefully I'll never learn the answer to that question.
The doctor and I discussed dry vah-j-jays. That's a common theme for me these days. I try to bring the subject up with just about anyone who will listen (in the library, grocery stores, blogs) though I mostly hit up folks in the medical profession. I like to see how they're going to respond because it's not a subject they seem to want to discuss or that has been my experience to date. Most doctors have turned their heads, mumbled a few words, pointing to bottles of goo on the counter in their exam rooms, stuff they use during exams with their latex gloves.
At my age and condition, we really need a definitive cure for the Mojave vah-j-jay. I believe the medical profession, and perhaps society at large want us to dry up and blow away (and most of all, please, please, please stop bringing up the subject of vaginal dryness!) (This is the point where you plug both your ears, saying aloud numerous times, "flower, bunny, flower, bunny" repeating as long as I continue to write about dry vaginas.) Yet, there's a segment of the dried out (or drying out) population that still wants to enjoy life, and part of living includes intimacy. We still want to express intimacy in only the way we know best - yelling at our lovers, "Please get off! You're hurting me!"
I have spent tons of hard earned cash on lubric?nts (don't get me started on the money I've lost in the stock market that would have been better spent on lube). If anyone has a super special suggestion, a cure-all for V dryness (latex friendly), let me know. I will call a town hall meeting and announce the news to all the folks with which I've been in discussion with on this very subject. In the meantime, I'll keep expressing my intimacy here.

Hey POD
I absolutely love your posts about your frenchie loving gyno. I always look forward to reading the next instalment. This blog entry is by far my mostest fave....I always wondered when I was a child why my mother seemed to have copious quantities of petroleum jelly round the house and on the bedside table....although now 'they' don't recommend it (why would you want to put petrol based products up your duff?). Soy products and flaxseed oil are supposed to help, I see my mother gorging on them...although i reckon yoghurt, honey, maple syrup and chocolate sauce could be the go. ;)
P.S POD i really think you should write a little guide to gynos from you perspective, it would be very popular.
This is a very funny post and I have absolutely nothing that I can offer as help. Can I phone a friend?
Goodness gracious, POD - how did I miss out on your blog for so long?
If you hadn't "mooed" in support of my comment on Mizfit's blog today, I would still be unaware of your Mojave-ness.
My remedy? Separate beds. Oh, wait...
Drink lots. Then it won't matter so much.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the moo!
(And Tom's comment here cracked me up!)
Golly Bag Lady, you HAVE been missing out.
But POD, I'm sorry, I got nuthin'. You'd think at my age I would be more able to empathize. My gynecologist has mentioned lubricants to me, I guess because of my age, but so far it hasn't been a problem. :-| (cross fingers)
where did my comment go?
about the goooooo and the VAGINA (no, no cutesy names up in herre either)
anyway--please to love the bag lady and please to prod (ha ha. like cattle prod) her along with me to do a RANCH LIFE post for MizFit
Loved your terse comment on Mizfit's site today about grease!!

Tom can phone me! I've been there...sort of :-)
ha ha ha! LOL! Wow! I got nuthin, hopin you will find sumthin!
