Having had a procedure (abnormal cell cervical removal), please don't go alone. It's uncomfortable and even with the best of operatives painful and uncomfortable.
The ride home is when you may be weepy, tired and distracted. If nothing else a little bruised.
I suggest you plan for a safe friend to go with you, and often not the closest best one, but the calmest, gentlest soul you can find.
Plan on a shower and some comfort food, space to sleep and heal, gentle music, a light comedy, or fluffy book. Take some distracting reading material to read, something uplifting.
Let go, don't try to be brave and do this alone, it's a big thing and very important. Someone with you who can take notes for you, ask the questions you may forget and be on hand for support.
Get that support in, please do this.
From a woman who has been there, from someone who has had to go to screenings for VD, because of the H I married and his doings. Treat yourself with real care, special extreme self care. This isn't an ingrowing toenail or removal of a skin tag. This is a nasty virus which could threaten your life and at best your wellbeing.
I followed eat glow nourish program, cut all sugar from my diet, juiced for 21 days. Took vitamins and all manner of antI fungal and viral remedies.
Be kind to yourself, this is in my opinion very important.
Oh yes, and cry, get angry, weep, let the emotions out. And oh yes, no shame or guilt on it too. I was very clear with what I did with the Giggalo, I was going to get tested and it was limited public knowledge. It is in my D papers.
And when you get the all clear, throw a Party!
Please take extreme self care to heart, you are very precious.
