More happy hoo-ha news!

I am beginning to see how someone might (coughcoughkent_allard_jrcoughcough) think all this stuff was related. First, the gyno, then a big new bed for me, and now I am going to get the HPV vaccine shot series starting this Friday. Does seem awful like I might be looking to slut around, I tells you what.

The great news is that the doctor's office checked and my insurance will cover the vaccine. Which is superb! That's near on to $500 I won't be spending to avoid hoo-ha cancer!

By the by, friendslist: I'm thinking of having my birthday party on April 6th, but that is, so the calendar informs me, Good Friday. If anyone isn't going to be available to par-tay that night (or that Saturday, haven't firmly set the plans here yet), let me know? I can probably bump back a week if I hafta.

Man. I can't make a comment here that won't offend your readers, even though I know you'd find it hilarious, regarding people who can't make it for one reason or another or yet another.

Anyway, I can be there regardless of when you have it.

Also, since I'm clearly looking to slut around: what be this vaccine, and why would you get it if you're not at particular risk for HPV?

It's just not a bad idea to get it, seeing as a lot of guys are, without having genital warts, carriers of HPV. There's no reason not to get it if you're within the age bracket. At worst, you get some shots and spend a little money. At best, it protects you against some 70-80% of the viruses that can cause cervical cancer.

Alas, you are past the age limit, but you can totally ask your doctor. You can still get it, I believe, just that it hasn't been tested effectiveness-wise, past woman age 26.

Yeah, I find the whole age limit based on they've-only-bothered-to-test-on-26-or-younger thing absurd. I know they want to play it safe and not have some octogenarian's head explode after getting it, but jeez.
