I just got back from my LEEP. Needless to say I was scared shitless as I was going to my doc office. It wasn't as bad as I thought. In fact it was less painful that the biopsy. The novacaine they numbed me with was less painful thaqn the biopsy "pinched" and I couldn't feel the LEEP itself. The doc was done rather quickly. I was surprised when it was over. Somehow I am actually in a pretty good mood. I guess I feel lke I've been through the worse of it now... and I'm still standing. I think I'm finally starting to "get over" the depressing part. I know I have both low and high risk HPV (aren't I lucky) and the fact that I went through all this after the person who gave this to me and supposedly loved me left and I'nm still standing is...well... very powerful. I feel like I can face this and whatever else may come my way. I wanted to share this b/c I know there are a lot of people out there who hate themselves now and are really depressed...I was too. But I promise, it will be ok. This can only make you stronger..it's made me feel better about my own strength. I hope this will give some of you a little silver lining in your dark cloud. Remember...the sun will come out---you just need to let it!
